20 goalscorer James Beattie and Billy Sharp are expected to start up front. Nick Montgomery and Danny Webber remain long term absentees.
Here's what the gaffer had to say about the team news:" The lads are buzzing after the fightback and all credit to them really. To do that against your biggest rivals in front of a full house shows that we have our club back.
"The courage they showed makes me feel proud to be in charge of this set of players and they have certainly responded to what i asked from them when i came in."
Former Blades Jon Harley, and Ade Akinbiyi should feature, meanwhile David Unsworth who scored the penalty against the Blades last season for Wigan should also play for Owen Coyle's Clarets.
