3/1 To Win
Paul Warne’s starting line-up for his 400th match in club management has been confirmed ahead of Derby County’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Sheffield United (3pm kick-off).
Both sides come into the fixture at Bramall Lane feeling positive. The Rams have won three of their first five league games and will be backed by a sold-out away end, including a 1-0 win over Cardiff City last Saturday.
Chris Wilder’s Blades are unbeaten so far in the 2024/25 campaign, with their last result a 2-0 win against Hull City on the road.
Derby’s Head Coach has made just one change from the line-up that took all three points against Cardiff City a week ago, with Ben Osborn coming in for David Ozoh, who was removed from the field of play with a hamstring injury against the Bluebirds.
Osborn will make his return to Bramall Lane, where he made 115 appearances for the Blades before joining Derby over the summer.
Corey Blackett-Taylor makes the bench after returning from a quad injury he sustained over pre-season and playing 90 minutes for the Rams' Under-21s last Friday against AFC Bournemouth.
Jake Rooney, Tom Barkhuizen and Liam Thompson again miss out due to injury.
