Sheffield United v Plymouth team news

Sheffield United: Sander Berge and Jack O’Connell remain sidelined for the Blades, but there is hope Oli McBurnie, Ben Osborn and Lys Mousset may be fit enough to feature.

Wilder could opt to rest some of his key players so they are ready for upcoming Premier League encounters with Manchester United and Manchester City. But the boss will field a strong XI as wins breed confidence.

Plymouth: Top scorer Luke Jephcott should start up front and could feature alongside new signing Niall Ennis.

Boss Ryan Lowe doesn’t have any fresh injury concerns and could stick with the flexible 3-5-2 formation that caused Huddersfield and Sunderland trouble on recent weeks.

Our prediction: Sheffield United v Plymouth

Plymouth have struck up an identity under boss Lowe and the arrival of Ennis – if he starts – will only strengthen confidence within the squad that they can cause an upset here.

And with Sheffield United enduring such a miserable time of it this season, Saturday’s tie is probably the best place to seek an FA Cup upset.

Wilder doesn’t need the cup other than to bring confidence back to his troops. Yet that’s easier said than done and the boss will have to rest some players here as he keeps an eye on upcoming Premier League fixtures. This match could well go past 90 minutes.

Our prediction: Sheffield United 1-2 Plymouth (a.e.t) – (Plymouth to progress: 3/1)
