Last updated : 26 August 2011 By @blades_mad1889

The Blades were in League Cup action on Wednesday night with a trip to Merseyside to face Premier League outfit Everton.

United have started the 2011-12 season with confidence and lay third in the table prior to this weekend’s fixtures round-up, having beating Oldham Athletic, Brentford (both 2-0) and Walsall (3-2) whilst drawing 1-1 at Tranmere Rovers last Saturday.

United are expected to be without midfielder Kevin McDonald (ankle) through injury, but is boosted by the returns of former Liverpool winger Ryan Flynn (hamstring) and striker Chris Porter (dead-leg) and may both be included at Huish Park tomorrow.

Possible Blades Line-Up: Steve Simonsen, Matthew Lowton, Harry Maguire, Neill Collins, Jean-Francois Lescinel, Lee Willisomson, Nick Montgomery, Michael Doyle, Stephen Quinn, Richard Cresswell, Jordan Slew.

Eighteenth placed Yeovil Town will feel fresh going into this League One fixture having last played professionally last weekend. They were dumped out of the League Cup in round one at Exeter City and drew 1-1 at Walsall last Saturday.

Terry Skiverton, the Yeovil Town manager is expected to have a fully fit squad available for selection ahead of tomorrow’s clash with the Blades.

The Town boss told BBC Somerset prior to this weekend’s fixture; "It's a massive game, they are high-flying at the moment. They've got real match winners in the team and are very strong in midfield, but we feel there are areas we can exploit but we have to make sure our foundations are right going into this game."

We’ve met before...

Sheffield United and Yeovil Town have never met competitively before this weekend’s npower League One fixture.
