Four changes: Sheffield United confirmed team news as Blades seemingly rocked by another big injury blow at Bristol City
and live on Freeview channel 276
Tommy Doyle, the Manchester City loanee, is absent from the Blades side that takes on the Robins at Ashton Gate, and isn’t on the bench either after suffering a calf problem, with United’s coaching staff electing not to risk him. He drops out, along with the suspended Anel Ahmedhodzic, while Oli McBurnie and Adam Davies are on the bench.
Boss Paul Heckingbottom has recalled Wes Foderingham after his three-match ban expired, and handed Reda Khadra a rare start in Doyle’s absence. United are looking to build on victory at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and make up some more ground on the top two, after falling from top of the Championship before the international break.
