Gary Johnson has made three changes at Sheffield United as his side goes in search of securing a play-off place.

The City manager has recalled Lee Trundle, Nick Carle and David Noble to his starting eleven, replacing Darren Byfield, Cole Skuse and Brian Wilson.

Carle missed out last weekend with a slight ankle knock, while Noble will be briefed to play on the right-side of midfield.

Sheffield United have named David Cotterill - the former City Academy graduate - in their first eleven.
