Sheffield United vs Blackburn Rovers - Blades boss Wilder could stick with winning line-up
Posted Thursday, December 27, 2018 by PA
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder must decide whether to change a winning team when his side host Blackburn.
The Blades enjoyed a 3-1 win over Derby on Boxing Day, with Wilder naming an unchanged side for the third game in a row despite a defeat and a draw in the previous two outings.
Leon Clarke again started on the bench against the Rams but was amongst the scorers with a late strike.
However, he has work to do to dislodge Billy Sharp who scored his 13th league goal of the season in the win over Derby.
Ryan Nyambe is Blackburn’s latest injury concern after the defender was forced off in Wednesday’s defeat to Leeds with a hamstring problem.
He was replaced by Harrison Reed, who had recovered from a hamstring strain of his own, as Elliott Bennett – who filled in for Nyambe in October – is out with a foot injury.
Saturday’s game is likely to come too soon for Craig Conway, who has missed the last two games with a muscle problem.
Midfielder Ben Gladwin and forward Dominic Samuel remain sidelined with respective knee issues.
