• Predicted lineup: Cooper (GK), Seriki (DF), McGuinness (DF), Tanganga (DF), McCallum (DF), Brooks (MF), Riedewald (MF), Peck (MF), Hamer (MF), Bamford (AT), Campbell (AT)

Sheffield United are expected to line up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Michael Cooper between the posts and a back line of Tanganga, McCallum, McGuinness, and Seriki. This setup should allow them to maintain a solid defensive structure while enabling midfielders like Hamer and Brooks to push forward and support attackers Campbell and Bamford.

• Predicted lineup: Kovačević (GK), Fisher (DF), Darling (DF), McConville (DF), Springett (DF), McLean (MF), Mattsson (MF), Forson (MF), Marcondes (MF), Schwartau (MF), Sargent (AT)

Norwich City are likely to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Vladan Kovačević between the posts and a defensive line of Darling, McConville, Fisher, and Springett. This formation should provide a strong defensive base while allowing midfielders like Mattsson, Marcondes, Forson, McLean, and Schwartau to assist their solo striker, Josh Sargent, in attack.

• Patrick Bamford vs Ruairi McConville: Patrick Bamford's movement and finishing will be tested by Ruairi McConville's defensive positioning and tackling.

• Andre Brooks vs Kenny McLean: Andre Brooks' creativity in midfield will be crucial against Kenny McLean's ability to break up play.

• Sydie Peck (Sheffield United): Sydie Peck's energy and work rate in midfield will be vital for Sheffield United's control of the game.

• Oscar Schwartau (Norwich City): Oscar Schwartau's vision and passing could unlock Sheffield United's defence and create scoring opportunities for Norwich City.
