SUFC News: United predicted XI v Swansea as Blades handed welcome distraction (thestar.co.uk)
Chris Wilder has a few selection headaches as the Blades look to build on two clean sheets to start the season, as he looks to coax a little bit more attacking quality out of his side from Saturday’s goalless draw with Birmingham City.

Mark McGuinness has done little wrong since being handed an unexpected run at centre-half, while Sydie Peck has also taken his opportunity in midfield. There is competition for places further forward, too, with Romelle Donovan, Callum O'Hare, Patrick Bamford and Tyrese Campbell all vying to make an impact.

With United still waiting on reinforcements before the transfer deadline, Wilder's current options will form the basis of his selection once again. Here is how we expect the Blades to line up at Swansea - have we got it just about right or would you do anything differently?
