Sheffield United travel to face Fleetwood Town in the League Cup round of 32 this Wednesday evening. The tie at Highbury Stadium offers a chance to respond after a 0-1 home defeat to Wolves last weekend ended a three-game winning run.
That loss to Wolves, decided by a 90th-minute Raúl Jiménez goal, was a setback following victories over Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers and Cardiff City. The Blades' recent form shows three wins, one draw and one loss from their last five outings.
Manager Chris Wilder is expected to rotate his squad for the cup fixture. The team will be without several players currently sidelined, including Femi Seriki, Harrison Burrows, Ryan One, Sam McCallum and Tahith Chong.
Fleetwood Town, managed by Charlie Adam, have drawn four of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers in late July. They are likely to set up in a 3-1-4-2 formation, as seen in their last outing.
Sheffield United's last starting lineup featured Mark Cooper in goal with a back three of Japhet Tanganga, Mark McGuinness and Liam Kitching. The midfield included Hamza Choudhury, Sydie Peck, Kalvin Phillips and Oliver Arblaster, supporting forwards Patrick Bamford and Ben Brereton.
A win would see United progress to the last 16 of the competition. Fans can check the full schedule for the season on the club's fixtures page and view the latest squad information.
