Match Preview
Porter set to return for Blades Sheffield United striker Chris Porter is expected to return to contention for the home clash with Exeter. Porter struck his fifth goal of the season in last week's 1-1 draw at Leyton Orient before missing the midweek win over MK Dons due to a bruised ankle. But the former Oldham and Derby forward is hoping to prove his fitness and vie for a place up front with Ched Evans, Richard Cresswell and Billy Clarke, who is on loan from Blackpool. Midfielder Lee Williamson is not expected to return after missing out on Tuesday night with a nasty gash just below the knee. So Matt Phillips, another loanee from Blackpool, will continue on the wing, while Michael Doyle will be hoping to return to the starting line-up after starting on the bench against MK Dons. The Blades, in fourth place, are looking to extend their unbeaten league run to five matches. Richard Duffy is rated doubtful for Exeter. The defender has been struggling with an ankle problem lately, and has not featured in any of the Grecians' last four npower League One games. Meanwhile, Guillem Bauza will miss the visit to Bramall Lane. The striker lasted only 11 minutes of his substitute appearance against Walsall in midweek before coming off with a recurrence of a hamstring problem. Billy Jones is also sidelined with a foot injury, as manager Paul Tisdale hopes to build on their first away win of the season on Tuesday at the high-flying Blades. Attacker Jake Taylor will be included in the matchday 16 after his loan spell from Reading was extended by a further month in midweek.

Match Report
Eight-goal thriller at the Lane Sheffield United and Exeter shared eight goals in a thrilling 4-4 draw at Bramall Lane. Exeter took a 2-0 lead through goals from Daniel Nardiello and David Noble before the Blades stormed back to go 3-2 ahead courtesy of Matt Phillips, Billy Clarke and Matt Lowton. John O'Flynn levelled brought the teams level again before Phillips grabbed his second goal of the game to restore the host`;s lead. However, James Dunne grabbed an 87th minute equaliser. Nardiello capitalised on a mix-up between United goalkeeper George Long and defender Marcus Williams to give Exeter a 10th minute lead. And they went 2-0 up after 23 minutes when Noble beat Long with a deflected 25-yard shot. United pulled a goal back just before the break when Phillips' shot was deflected past Artur Krysiak. Danny Wilson`s side equalised when Williams squared to Clarke inside the area and the striker scored with a first-time shot. Lowton scored from close range midway through the second half following a corner to put the home side in front before O'Flynn levelled with a looping header in the 82nd minute. Phillips put the Blades back in front three minutes later and Exeter equalised again when Dunne squeezed the ball in from a tight angle.
