Sheffield United’s latest signings Ben Woodburn and Kean Bryan are expected to be included in the squad for the home game against Swansea.

Summer signings John Egan, David McGoldrick and goalkeeper Dean Henderson are all in contention for their Blades debuts.
Swansea’s new manager Graham Potter could be short of players in his first game in charge of the club.
Since the Swans were relegated in May over a dozen players have departed, with several more linked with moves away from the Liberty Stadium.
