Sheffield United come into this promotion play-off semi-final first leg motivated after a 4x0 home win over Fulham: Gibbs-White, Ndiaye, Berge and Stevens all scored. The home team usually plays with a 5-3-2 tactical system, favouring quick transitions, preferably attacking down the flanks. The two most forward players will be Iliman Ndiaye and Morgan Gibbs-White, with Oliver Norwood, John Fleck and Sander Berge playing in midfield. When he is able to invest in the attacking process, he is expected to do so on the left flank, taking advantage of the depth offered by full-back Enda Stevens. The home manager will be without Oliver McBurnie, Rhian Brewster, Jayden Bogle and Jack O'Connell as they recover from injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Wes Foderingham, Chris Basham, John Egan, Enda Stevens, Jack Robinson, John Fleck, Morgan Gibbs-White, Oliver Norwood, Ben Osborn, Sander Berge, Iliman Ndiaye.
Coach: P. Heckingbottom.
