Tommy Rowe set to return for Scunthorpe against Sheffield United

Scunthorpe boss Mark Robins will look to put his side's lucrative FA Cup third-round trip to Chelsea out of their mind as they face Sheffield United at Glanford Park.

The Iron booked their memorable trip to Jose Mourinho-less west London with a second-round replay win over Leyton Orient in midweek.

Robins has Tommy Rowe back in contention after being cup-tied for the Orient tie, while Stephen Dawson, David Mirfin and Dave Syers are pushing to return.

There are no fresh injury concerns with midfielder Gary McSheffrey remaining the only long-term absentee.

Sheffield United will be without suspended striker Che Adams, who sits out the second game of a three-match ban following his dismissal in the recent FA Cup win against Oldham.

Conor Sammon started up front alongside Matt Done in last Sunday's home win against Coventry, but Billy Sharp is pushing for a recall after stepping off the bench to score the winner.

Winger Jamal Campbell-Ryce (hamstring) will be monitored after missing the last two matches and defender Bob Harris could return to contention after missing out last week due to concussion.

It remains to be seen whether midfielder Jose Baxter returns to the squad after recently being disciplined by the club for an unspecified incident.
