Sheffield United host Hull City in a Yorkshire derby at Bramall Lane on Friday night.

The Blades are sitting comfortably in second place, 11 points ahead of third spot as they eye a return to the Premier League after losing to Nottingham Forest in the play-off semi-finals last term.

Hull are positioned in 16th in the table but they are closer to the top-six than the relegation zone and a bit of momentum could put them into the play-off picture as the business end of the season nears.

Defenders Ciaran Clark, George Baldock and Enda Stevens will all miss Friday's game, alongside John Fleck. Oli McBurnie is back in training, Blades chief Paul Heckingbottom confirmed.

Hull will be without Nathan Baxter again due to injury with the club seeking to add another goalkeeper to their ranks, although this is unlikely to be completed before tonight’s visit to Bramall Lane.
