No wins from 17 Premier League games, but steadily improving, Chris Wilder's men are actually favourites with the bookmakers to claim their first three points of the top flight season tonight. That quite incredible statistic probably says more about Steve Bruce’s Newcastle than it does abou the Blades.
1. Karl Darlow
What a call Steve Bruce has to make in this position. Stick or twist. It's a toss of a coin stuff. I'm so tempted to bring Dubravka back in, but can't find fault with Darlow. Photo: Stu Forster
2. DeAndre Yedlin
Has proven himself to be the best of the right backs at the club, despite his uncertain future. Photo: GLYN KIRK
3. Federico Fernandez
The best overall defender of the group and will be rested having not played at the weekend. Well-earned, by the way. Photo: Stu Forster
4. Fabian Schar
Looks excellent in the centre of the three. Another who should be well-rested. Photo: Pool
