Sheffield United
Femi Seriki is set to provide Chris Wilder with a fresh option at right-back after recovering from the knee injury that kept him out. Hamza Choudhury is already available again after serving a suspension, though Mark McGuinness, who started the win over Bristol City in his absence, looks set to keep the position for now.
Harrison Burrows started against Bristol City for the first time in Sheffield United's last five games, with Sam McCallum, who had started three of those five matches, used as a substitute. Burrows could keep his place against Derby. Ollie Arblaster and Sydie Peck continue to compete for a role in midfield, with Kalvin Phillips contributing a goal and an assist across his last five matches.
Derby County
The most pressing issue for Derby this weekend is Lewis Travis, who suffered an injury against Stoke City and still needs to be assessed. He is not expected to start, with David Ozoh likely to continue in midfield.
Centre-back remains patched together: Sondre Langås, who started four of the last five matches there, is out injured, so Ryan Nyambe is expected to retain his place after starting against Stoke. Charlie Taylor is also missing at left-back, with Ryan Hedges likely to continue instead, while Josh Vickers is expected to stay in goal. Jacob Widell Zetterström is sidelined by a knee injury.
Rhian Brewster is expected to make his first start in the last five matches after appearing as a substitute against Stoke, joining Carlton Morris and Sammie Szmodics in attack. Derby have also signed Jack Robinson on a short-term deal, but he has not done much for a few weeks and needs to get up to speed quickly.
