Walsall vs Sheffield United preview - Saddlers strong for Blades test

Walsall could have a fully-fit squad for the visit of Sheffield United.

Sam Mantom made his first start of the season in Saturday's 1-1 draw with MK Dons after overcoming a knee injury in time to be in contention for Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final with Bristol City.

Jordan Cook also started after a groin problem while Adam Chambers recovered from an ankle injury.

Anthony Forde was on the bench after his own groin injury and will be in the squad again.

Sheffield United will assess Kieron Freeman and Jay McEveley.

Freeman, who scored the leveller in the Blades' 1-1 draw with Scunthorpe on Saturday, suffered a hamstring injury in that game but trained on Monday while McEveley's long-term shoulder injury will also be checked.

Chris Basham serves the final game of his two-match ban but Terry Kennedy is still two weeks away from fitness.

Midfielder Stefan Scougall (knee) and winger Ryan Flynn (hamstring) trained with the group on Monday but will not feature.
