🗞️ Team News: Sheffield United
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Sheffield United gaffer Chris Wilder to contend with due to a largely intact set of players. Jack O'Connell (Knee Surgery) is sidelined.
📋 Team News: Newcastle United
Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the Newcastle United gaffer Steve Bruce to be concerned with. Allan Saint-Maximin (Calf Injury) won’t be in action.

Expecting it to be tight.
