Newcastle's penultimate PL home game of the season sees them host the Blades on Saturday.
It's an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm kick-off, with the visitors selling their entire 3,204 allocation.
Chris Wilder's side need to avoid defeat to prolong their relegation fight, although a draw would leave them needing a mathematic miracle, or Nottingham Forest having their points deduction increased after appeal.
Team: Nick Pope, Miggy Almiron, Joelinton and Kieran Trippier are still sidelined but could yet play some part in our remaining games.
Speaking on Friday, Eddie Howe confirmed that Miggy could be in contention to face Burnley.
Joe Willock, Lewis Miley, Matt Targett, Sandro Tonali, Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles won't feature again this season.
Tonali rates this match as follows:
NUFC win 2/9
The draw 11/2
SUFC win 12/1
SUFC: Max Lowe, Chris Basham, John Egan, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Daniel Jebbison, Tom Davies and George Baldock remain unavailable, with Oli McBurnie the latest addition to that list.
Jayden Bogle and James McAtee are both doubtful.
Ahead of their visit to Tyneside, Wilder's side lost 2-4 at Old Trafford in the PL on Wednesday night - their thirteenth loss away from Bramall Lane this season.
The Blades have won one away game - 3-1 at Luton Town - and drawn three: 1-1 at both Brighton and Villa and 2-2 at Bournemouth. From that you can deduce that they've failed to keep a clean sheet on the road.
Referee: Tony Harrington - a swift return to SJP for the Teesside-based official, who took charge of the recent 1-1 home draw with Everton.
VAR: Andy Madley
UK TV: none
Stats:
Following a 8-0 win at Bramall Lane in the first meeting of the two sides, Newcastle are bidding to wrap up their third win double of the season after taking six points off both Aston Villa and Fulham.
