Newcastle go into the match on the back of a 1-0 win at home to Brentford last time out in the Premier League and a 0-0 draw at AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The Magpies’ training time over the past week has been limited with a number of changes expected for the trip to Bramall Lane.
Eddie Howe has several players ruled out for the match including Joe Willock, Joelinton and Emil Krafth while goalkeeper Martin Dubravka recovers from illness.
The Newcastle team news will land at 3:30pm as they look to pick up their first away win of the 2023-24 season.
Here is our predicted line-up for the match...
1. GK: Nick Pope
Pope has kept back-to-back clean sheets and was instrumental in ensuring Newcastle left the San Siro with a point on Tuesday evening.
2. RB: Kieran Trippier
Trippier put in a captain’s display against AC Milan, keeping both Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandezquiet for the majority of the game. A repeat performance will be needed at Bramall Lane.
3. CB: Fabian Schar
Schar put in a very composed display at the San Siro and will head to Bramall Lane aiming to help keep a third clean sheet in eight days.
4. CB: Sven Botman
Sunday will be the first time Botman will face Sheffield United in a competitive fixture. He is yet to score for the Magpies since joining last summer - could that change this weekend?
