The Blades were at Stevenage Borough last Saturday were a run of five unbeaten games came to an end with a 2-1 loss at Broadway Stadium.
United fought their way into round three after seeing off Burton Albion and Rotherham United – both ending in 2-1 victories.
Blades boss Danny Wilson will be without Chris Morgan (knee), Andy Taylor (knee), Lee Williamson and Johannes Ertl (knee) are all sidelined through injury ahead of our clash with the Bantams tomorrow night.
Bradford City were in League Two action last Saturday, losing 1-0 at home to Cheltenham Town which left them 21st in the table, just one point ahead of the bottom two relegation spots.
They will be without former Sheffield United defender Andrew Davies who signed for the Bantams from Stoke City in the summer. He was sent off for the second time this season in their game with Swindon Town and will miss the second of four matches.
It will allow another former Blade; Marcel Seip to move from right full-back into the centre alongside Luke Oliver. Meanwhile defender Robbie Threlfall (thigh) and winger Jemie Devitt (hamstring) are doubtful through injury.
They will also be without winger Kyel Reid (ex-Blade) who picked up his fifth booking of the season at the weekend and will miss the trip to Bramall Lane through suspension.
