Sheffield United have decided not to appeal against Darius Henderson's dismissal at Swansea after taking a look at the video evidence.Henderson, a £2million summer signing from Watford, was shown a straight red card for violent conduct after being deemed to have elbowed Swansea's Angel Rangel.

Assistant manager Sam Ellis revealed after the match that the referee's decision may have been harsh, but that club officials would study video evidence before deciding whether to appeal.

Henderson, who missed all of October after damaging knee ligaments in a training ground incident, will now sit out a three-match ban.

Billy Sharp, Danny Webber and Anthony Stokes, on loan from Sunderland, will vie for a place in attack alongside leading goalscorer James Beattie against former manager Neil Warnock's Crystal Palace on Saturday.
