Sheffield United team news

Sheffield United will continue to manage without defender Femi Seriki, midfielder Oliver Arblaster, and attacker Tyrese Campbell, all of whom remain sidelined due to injuries.

However, the Blades may see the return of Anel Ahmedhodzic and Vinicius Souza, strengthening their defensive and midfield options, respectively, ahead of Thursday's match.

Burnley team news

Burnley also faces a series of injury setbacks, with Jordan Beyer, Aaron Ramsey, Lyle Foster, Manuel Benson, and Jeremy Sarmiento unavailable as they remain in recovery. The Clarets will need to adapt their lineup to address these continued absences.
