Bogle starts: The Sheffield United XI that Heckingbottom should field v Swansea on Saturday | OneFootball

After their FA Cup success in midweek, Sheffield United‘s focus returns to Championship action on Saturday afternoon, when they host Swansea City at Bramall Lane.

The Blades go into that game second in the Championship table, and will be looking to at the very least maintain the ten point lead they currently have over those in the play-off places.

Swansea meanwhile, come into this 13th in the table, with this just two wins in their last ten outings in all competitions, which could make this something of an opportunity for the hosts.

So with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at the starting lineup Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom could name to give his side the best chance of claiming all three points against Swansea, right here.

In goal, Wes Foderingham remains the Blades’ undisputed number one, and as such should start between the posts here.

The back three of Anel Ahmedhodzic, John Egan and Jack Robinson have also helped towards back to back clean sheets in the last two league outings, so should retain their spots in the side here.

Having missed that FA Cup replay in midweek due to suspension, Jayden Bogle ought to return to his right wing-back spot, as perhaps their most effective operator in that position.

Meanwhile, Max Lowe ought to come back into the starting XI in that role on the other side of the pitch, as he continues to work his back up to his top form after his spell out with injury.

With John Fleck and Manchester City loanee Tommy Doyle still not ready to feature after fitness issues of their own, Sander Berge, Oliver Norwood and Ben Osborn ought to make up the Blades three-man midfield.

In attack, top scorer Iliman Ndiaye should once again lead the line, and having returned to training during the latter stages of this week after a calf problem, Oli McBurnie, who has just one goal less this season, should be the man to partner him up top, provided he maintains his fitness.
