Match Preview
Lowton out again Sheffield United defender Matt Lowton remains sidelined for the home clash with Yeovil. Right-back Lowton missed the weekend's FA Cup win over Salisbury and the league defeat at Carlisle due to a hamstring injury sustained against Hartlepool on New Year's Day. Johnny Ertl stepped in to make his first start of the season on Saturday and could continue, although Marcus Williams returned as an unused substitute against Salisbury after signing his permanent deal with the Blades and will provide boss Danny Wilson with an extra option. Nick Montgomery is hoping to return to the side after he too was an unused substitute at the weekend, while fellow midfielder Stephen Quinn could return to contention after being left out of the matchday squad altogether. Striker Richard Cresswell is pushing for a recall to the starting XI and James Beattie, also a second-half substitute on Saturday, is in contention for his first start since returning to Bramall Lane in November. Gary Johnson will resume the managerial reins at Yeovil. Johnson, who guided the Glovers to two promotions during his previous spell as boss, was re-appointed on Monday, with Terry Skiverton standing aside and becoming assistant manager. Johnson's second coming with Yeovil will be boosted by the return of midfielders Paul Wotton and Ed Upson at the high-flying Blades. The duo had been suspended for the 1-1 draw with local rivals Exeter on January 2 but have now served their bans and are available for selection. Winger Gavin Massey extended his loan spell from Watford last week and should start for the Glovers, but Kerrea Gilbert, Flavien Belson, Abdulai Bell-Baggie and Alan O'Brien have left the club after Yeovil chose not to renew their respective deals. Meanwhile, midfielder Dominic Blizzard is set to miss out through a groin injury.

Match Report
Blades cut apart Glovers Sheffield United moved up to second place in the League One table with a comfortable 4-0 win at home to Yeovil. Goals from Richard Cresswell and Michael Doyle gave Danny Wilson's men a two-goal lead at half-time with Lee Williamson scoring twice in the second half. Cresswell (18) opened the scoring with a firm downward header after getting on the end of a cross from Stephen Quinn. Keeper Steve Simonsen protected United's lead with a good save down to his right from Andrew Williams. Doyle had a header saved before he found the net in the 37th minute with a well-struck effort from 25 yards and Williamson (47) scored with a shot from just inside the area to make it 3-0. Yeovil rarely posed an attacking threat with Williams shooting wide and Paul Huntington putting a header just over. Matt Lowton headed wide before Williamson (87) rounded off the scoring with a shot from an acute angle which deflected off keeper Rene Gilmartin's leg.
