Blades prepare for fresh start

John Carver has been placed in temporary charge following Speed's appointment as the new Wales manager and he will be able to welcome midfielder Lee Williamson back into the squad.

Williamson has been out since April with a back injury but continued his comeback with 60 minutes in the reserves in midweek and could be in contention for a place on the bench.

Striker Jamie Ward has been laid low with a virus over the last week but he has returned to training and should be involved.

Goalkeeper Richard Wright, who lasted just 53 minutes of his debut before suffering a thigh injury against Barnsley last week, will be given until the last minute to prove his fitness.

Strikers Daniel Bogdanovic and Richard Cresswell are suspended while defender Chris Morgan, who will act as part of Carver`s backroom team, will not play again this season with a knee problem.
