James McAtee is on the bench. Here’s the Sheffield United team. MILLWALL face their first away day of the 2022-23 Championship campaign as they face Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Sheffield United return to Bramall Lane for the first time this season this afternoon when they host Millwall.

“I spoke to David (Coote, the referee) afterwards and he told me there’s a clear directive to allow more contact. Both men see yellow anyway “To go 1-0 down so early was really disappointing.

For the Blades, they came away from the fixture with nothing, as Joao Pedro fired in a goal to give Watford the three points in their opening game. Sheffield ...

With Sheffield United losing in their last game against Watford and neither of Iliman Ndiaye or Daniel Jebbison doing much in front of the Hornets’ goal, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see two new strikers played in this fixture. That’s a rate of just 23% when it comes to draws and it means that both teams tend to go for it in this fixture. Both Championship clubs got off to completely different starts in their campaigns at the weekend, with one losing and the other sealing a first three points of the season.

Sheffield United's home campaign gets under way at 3PM today against Millwall. Millwall can be described as a 'bogey team'. The Blades have only beaten the…

Jake Cooper. In the last 3 games where Millwall have scored against United, Cooper has got himself on the scoresheet. Cresswell is the son of former Blade Richard Cresswell. He scored twice on the opening game of the season. Last season Millwall took all 3pts in the 92nd minute.

The second goal is our own undoing; we don't react particularly well, and we make a poor mistake. When you play so well against Stoke in the opening game at home, then come to Bramall Lane, what you can't do then is make silly mistakes, you cant give gifts to a team like Sheffield United. I thought we actually started the game quite well, I thought we started quite brightly and then a big moment early on to go 1-0 down. I have watched the goal back lots of times and it was a clear foul on Jake Cooper. "I expect us to perform well here and be the one forcing the issue. The start was good, but I think the bit that was really really pleasing was how we dealt with their threats. He did not connect well with the ball, though, and also missed the target.

He did not connect well with the ball, though, and also missed the target. The Blades resumed their attack on the Millwall goal in the second half and Ahmedhodzic tried his luck from the edge of the area only to see his shot curl wide of the post. Fleck had a chance of his own when the ball arrived to him quickly in the box, but he could not set himself and his shot went over the bar.

The Blades made Rowett's men pay very early on in the game, when Iliman Ndiaye shrugged off Murray Wallace to score from a Wes Foderingham goal kick. The Lions ...

While the tempo was incredibly low to begin with, Millwall started to create some chances and force Foderingham into a couple of saves, albeit all of them incredibly comfortable. The Lions kept pushing but failed to find a way past Sheffield United’s back line. While Sheffield United started to slow the tempo down, it looked like things would go from bad to worse for Cooper after he was involved in both first-half goals from the visitors. Wallace had the chance to close him down, but ended up being shrugged off the ball by the Blades forward, who cooly slotted past Białkowski for the opener. Paul Heckingbottom’s side countered from a Millwall free-kick, allowing Fleck to rob Cooper of the ball and set up Sander Berge for the second goal. Cooper and Charlie Cresswell both challenged for the ball, but ended up missing it, allowing Ndiaye to run in and steal it off them.

Gary Rowett was forced into three changes for the trip, with Ryan Leonard (illness), George Honeyman (suspension) and Tom Bradshaw (injury) replaced by Danny ...

Wes Foderingham 6 : A spectator for much of the match and had little to do but gets credit for his assist on the opening goal.

Guilty of a couple of misplaced passes and robbed of possession in the second half. Sander Berge 9: Great composure for the goal, taking the ball in his stride and rounding the keeper. Did get beat on one occasion and conceded a free-kick in a dangerous position but came to the rescue when Mason Bennett was clean through and produced a last-ditch tackle. Understandably looked more comfortable on the left than he did at Watford on the right. Also showed his ability in the air in defensive situations when clearing a corner. Very comfortable bringing the ball out from the back, striding forward and looking for a pass.

Goals from Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge inside the opening quarter were no more than they deserved for their early superiority. Heckingbottom said: 'Today he (Berge) was playing a different game.

The difference is that it’s a lot easier to respond bravely at 2-0 down than it is at 0-0. But I was disappointed to be 1-0 down and I felt it was a little unjust.” “I spoke to David [Coote] about it because I was disappointed by that decision and he’s said there’s a clear directive to allow more contact, which I understand. We should defend it better, we should come around and shouldn’t allow the next runner to get in. It’s a clear foul on Jake Cooper, I think it’s Ndiaye that gets the wrong side of him and gives him a little nudge. Then the big moment is early is early on to go 1-0 down, if I look at it, I’ve watched the goal back lots of times.
