But the Blades will be without a second transfer deadline day signing, Toni Kallio, who did not complete his loan move in time. Nosworthy, who signed from Sunderland on loan until the end of the season, could go straight into the Blades' starting line-up as fellow central defenders Marcel Seip and Andrew Taylor (both hamstring) are ruled out. Blades manager Kevin Blackwell is hoping Lee Williamson, on the bench at West Brom on Saturday, has shaken off a hamstring injury, while recent signing Mark Yeates is hoping to make his first start since arriving from Middlesbrough. Strikers Henri Camara and Ched Evans are both pushing for returns to the starting line-up as the Blades look to bounce back from Saturday's 3-1 defeat at The Hawthorns.
