Sheffield United v Newcastle United preview: Team news, head-to-head and stats

Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie serves a one-match ban following his red card against Tottenham.

Captain John Egan is back in contention after missing that game with a knee injury but George Baldock and Will Osula are again expected to be absent.

Newcastle have no new fitness concerns, although they remain without injured midfielders Joe Willock and Joelinton.

The Magpies may need to monitor back-up goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who sat out the draw at AC Milan through illness.

Head-to-head

  • Newcastle have won six of the past seven league meetings, with the exception being a 1-0 defeat on their last visit to Bramall Lane in January 2021.
