Sheffield United v Peterborough

Sheffield United forward Che Adams returns to contention for the home game against Peterborough following suspension.

Adams has served a three-game ban for his dismissal against Coventry in December and could be back in the starting line-up as Matt Done is struggling with a hamstring strain that forced him off during Monday's home win against Bradford.

Fellow striker Conor Sammon replaced Done and staked his claim for a recall to the starting XI after scoring the second goal in a 3-1 victory.

Jose Baxter returned to the bench as an unused substitute for the first time since being disciplined by the club in early December for an unspecified incident. The Blades are chasing a fourth straight league win.

New signing Jordan Nicholson is still waiting to make his Posh debut.

The forward, who signed from Histon last week, was an unused substitute for the second successive game as Peterborough fell to a 2-0 defeat at league leaders Walsall last time out.

Lee Angol will hope to keep his starting spot, although Souleymane Coulibaly will hope for a more prominent role after replacing him against the Saddlers.

Gabriel Zakuani, Callum Elder, Jermaine Anderson, Joe Gormley, Shaun Brisley and Kgosi Ntlhe all remain sidelined.
