Sheffield United team news

Sheffield United remain without Ollie Arblaster and Rhys Norrington-Davies due to injury, while Harry Clarke has returned to parent club Ipswich Town following a foot injury. However, Chris Wilder is boosted by the return of Femi Seriki, Ben Brereton Díaz, and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, all of whom are available for selection after missing the first leg.

With a healthy squad otherwise and a strong lead, Wilder may opt to keep changes minimal, though Callum O’Hare-who scored off the bench in the first leg-is pushing for a starting role. There are no new suspensions for the Blades.

Bristol City team news

Bristol City are set to be without Ayman Benarous, Luke McNally, and Mark Sykes due to injury, and influential midfielder Joe Williams is unlikely to feature after sustaining an ankle injury in the first leg.

Centre-back Rob Dickie is suspended following his red card at Ashton Gate, with Haydon Roberts a candidate to replace him in the back three. Max Bird is expected to drop into central midfield, which could allow George Earthy to start in an advanced role. Bristol City’s squad depth will be tested as they look for a dramatic turnaround.
