Match Preview: Brighton v Blades

Last updated : 01 October 2004 By @blades_mad1889

New signings Emanuel Grabielle and Danny Cadamarteri could make their debuts as Chris Morgan (hamstring) was injured in that 1-0 win over Sunderland and Andy Gray serves the first of three games suspension after receiving his red card in the same game.

The Italian defender is however likely to start on the bench with Alan Wright moving into the middle and Jon Harley taking his place, though Simon Francis is out with a medial knee ligament so we'lljust have to wait to see what happens.

Meanwhile Brighton also go into the game with a 1-0 win after they beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

The Seagulls will be without captain Danny Cullip whose hernia operation has ruled him out for at least six weeks.

Also out for six weeks is Adam El-Abd who was stretchered off with bruised ankle ligaments in there game at Gillingham at the weekend. Guy Butters will undergo a late fitness test on a calf injury but Ben Roberts, Paul Watson and John Piercy are sidelined.
