Sheffield United are still searching for that elusive first win under Micky Adams, a win which could go a long way to saving their season. They lost 1-0 at in form Portsmouth last Saturday; Icelandic Hermman Hreidarsson heading home from a corner.

It was a familiar story that the Blades put in a good performance bur yet again came home empty handed as they struggle to keep afloat in the Championship.

Blades boss Micky is without a number of players; Joe Mattock (knee), Ryan France (back), Richard Wright (thigh), Darius Henderson (hamstring) and Andy Taylor (leg) are all missing through injury.

They are however boosted by the return of on-loan Aston Villa defender Shane Lowry who has completed a two match suspension following his red card at Scunthorpe United.

Expected Eleven: Simonsen, Parrino, Lowry, Collins, Lowton, Yeates, Williamson, Quinn, Riise, Evans, Cresswell.

Hull City ended Nottingham Forests fine 36 game unbeaten record at the City Ground in a 1-0 victory last Saturday; Matty Fryatt netting the elusive goal.

Reds boss Billy Davies has no new injuries or suspensions to concider when selecting his squad to face the Blades at Bramall Lane tomorrow night and could stick to the same eleven which lost to the Tigers.

Though they are expected to be without striker Nathan Tyson (ankle) and left full-back Joel Lynch (ankle) through injury.

Expected Eleven: Camp, Gunter, Chambers, Konchesky, Morgan, Cohen, Anderson, Majewski, McGugan, Earnshaw, Tudgay.
