Lee Hendrie returns to contention for Sheffield United's FA Cup tie with Manchester City after missing the derby defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.The former Aston Villa midfielder sat out last week's derby disappointment at Hillsborough due to a one-game ban, but is pressing for a return to the starting line-up on Sunday.

New permanent signing Ugo Ehiogu is pushing for a start after remaining on the substitutes' bench last week, while Gary Naysmith could also return to the side following his shoulder injury.

Manager Bryan Robson, who has no new injury or suspension problems, must decide whether to recall Keith Gillespie and Billy Sharp to the starting line-up.

Long-term absentees James Beattie, Danny Webber (both knee) and defender Chris Morgan (ankle) remain sidelined as the Blades chase a morale-boosting Cup win.

Kick-off 4pm.
