Sheffield United host Preston North End at Bramall Lane this evening, with the Blades looking to build on a first league win of the season after thumping Peterborough United here on Saturday.

Slavisa Jokanovic’s side meet a difficult challenge in the form of Preston, though, as Frankie McAvoy’s men have managed to put seven points on the board after a tough start.

Robin Olsen does come in for a debut in goal, though, whilst Ben Osborn is replaced by Luke Freeman after falling ill.

Subs: Foderingham, Basham, Brewster, Berge, McBurnie, Bogle, Hourihane.
