Iliman Ndiaye starts: The predicted Sheffield United XI to face Bournemouth on Saturday

Sheffield United will be looking to strengthen their promotion bid when they welcome Bournemouth to Bramall Lane tomorrow afternoon. 

The Blades, who are currently sixth in the second tier, have proven to be tough competitors on home soil in 2022 and are without a defeat at Bramall Lane since the turn of the year. 

Paul Heckingbottom’s side have averaged 1.95 PPG at their Yorkshire home this season and will be hoping to improve that when the Cherries visit tomorrow. 

Sheffield United are currently two points above Middlesbrough in seventh, with the Teessiders possessing a game hand, placing further importance on securing all three points against the side currently second in the Championship. 

Bournemouth were below par against West Brom during the week, and with the Cherries possessing one of the tougher run-ins in the Championship, they will be eager to avoid any drama as they look to secure a return to the Premier League. 

Here, we take a look at how Sheffield United could line up tomorrow…

Wes Foderingham has been excellent in a Blades shirt this season and will likely continue in-between the sticks tomorrow afternoon.

Heckingbottom revealed in his pre-Bournemouth press conference that Filip Uremovic will be available tomorrow, with Ben Davies and John Egan likely to also be deployed within the Blades’ backline.

In the continued absence of Jayden Bogle, who is unlikely to play a part in what remains, George Baldock should continue at right wing-back.

Facing competition from Rhys Norrington-Davies and Ben Osborn, it should be Enda Stevens who continues in his left wing-back position.

A third successive game start for John Fleck could be deemed as too much too soon, meaning that Iliman Ndiaye could be brought in to play
