Well key players by their standard like, Berg, Lundstram and I think their first choice striker.
Lundstrom isn't even a regular first choice starter when all are available.

Without virtually all our quality players there's no real comparison on injury lists plus Sheff United have had all week to prepare, they couldn't be meeting us at a more advantageous time for them.
 
Hope to god siggy et al are up for this, gale force freezing cold winds forecast for this evening. Wilder will have them biting into us.

They are rooted to the bottom of the league with only 2 pts from a possible 42 pts, they have only scored 8 goals and have a -17 goal difference and even though you mention Lundstrom they still have injuries, and whilst the depth in our squad isn't brilliant it's still better than Sheff utd's, their confidence will be shot, In our last 3 league games we have beaten Chelsea, Arsenal and Leicester with key players missing, we are looking solid at the back and are hard to beat. I know no game is a given but I don't understand why we should be worried about Sheff utd.

thankfully they've been quite terrible over the past month but I thought at the beginning of the season they were mostly terribly unlucky. Kept on dropping matches by 1 goal early on.

Tbh playing backs to the wall stuff relying on counter attacks while our real quality are injured is a tactic that was always unlikely to be successful as long as it had. United was a game too far where their superior quality in depth told.

Now to go again so soon after with virtually the same team stripped of James, Digne, Allan, Richarlison plus the likes of Delph etc seems to be asking for trouble, but we have no choice, the preparation is short and our resources perilously low, certainly on quality, beating anyone when jaded looks tough. Tbh the signs were there against Arsenal we looked on our last legs after 65 to 70 mins the tank was running on empty.

Sheffield have been improving recently and were so close to claiming their first win last time out against Brighton when a last ditch equaliser finally denied the ten men of Sheffield. They even came close to grabbing an unexpected point in a late comeback against United the week before . Their preparation should be far better and a whole week to work on a possibly lacklustre opposition's weaknesses.

An improving and encouraged Sheffield vs a decimated jaded opposition could be the scenario here, I would be extremely pleased with a win but expect a particularly tough game, it would hardly surprise me if Sheffield took the points
