Match Preview
Williamson out of Magpies clash Sheffield United will be without suspended midfielder Lee Williamson for their home game with Notts County. Williamson will serve an automatic one-game ban under the totting-up procedure and that could leave manager Danny Wilson short of options in midfield with Kevin McDonald and Nick Montgomery rated doubtful. McDonald is struggling with a knee injury sustained last week in the win at Bournemouth while Montgomery has been laid low by a chest infection, although he returned to full training this week. Johnny Ertl could provide Wilson with one midfield solution. The Austrian is almost back to full match fitness following a serious knee injury and stepped off the bench last week. Striker James Beattie is still working to regain his match fitness after rejoining the Blades last month. The 33-year-old has been hindered by a calf injury and must wait for his second debut. Notts County are monitoring injuries to Krystian Pearce and Gavin Mahon. Defender Pearce had been playing despite a groin problem for a handful of weeks before finally succumbing and missing the visit of Leyton Orient last weekend. Manager Martin Allen, whose side do not play until December 27, said: "Krystian will be rested, treated and tested at the end of the week. "You never know with groins. We are hoping it is just tightness and he will not need an operation. If it is a hernia in his groin, it could be anything from five to eight weeks." A groin problem also saw Mahon forced off after just 17 minutes against Orient and the midfielder has been sent for a scan to determine the extent of the injury. Meanwhile, striker Ben Burgess has been given indefinite leave by the club following the premature birth of his son. end

Match Report
Blades soar to second with victory Sheffield United came from behind to beat Notts County 2-1 to climb into second place in the npower League One table. The visitors took the lead in the 17th minute when Alan Judge's free-kick from distance found the net. Judge claimed the goal but Lee Hughes, attempting a glancing header, may have got a faint touch. Ryan Flynn struck the equaliser in the 32nd minute, meeting Richard Cresswell's low cross with a fine half-volley at the near post. Ched Evans and Matt Lowton both spurned good chances before the Blades found a winner on 51 minutes. Alan Sheehan, attempting to block Cresswell from connecting with Stephen Quinn's pass, could only shepherd the ball into his own net. As United pressed, Stuart Nelson produced a fine save, turning Harry Maguire's header over while Evans fired against Stuart Nelson's right-hand post late on. Jeff Hughes had a long-range effort well saved by Steve Simonsen and Karl Hawley volleyed straight at the Blades keeper from six yards. And to add insult to injury, Magpies substitute Ishmel Demontagnac was sent off in stoppage time after throwing the ball at Lowton's face.
