Sheffield United team news

Sheffield United will be without Sai Sachdev, Harry Clarke, Ollie Arblaster and Rhys Norrington-Davies due to injury issues.

However, aside from these two players, manager Chris Wilder has a fully fit squad to pick from, suggesting that Ben Brereton Diaz and Femi Seriki are likely to be involved in the game.

Sunderland team news

Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris faces some injury concerns. Jayden Danns and Ian Poveda will be absent, limiting their attacking options. Additionally, winger Patrick Roberts is a fitness doubt due to a calf issue he picked up during the second leg against Coventry.
