Sheffield United defender Derek Geary will return to the squad for the home clash with promotion-chasing Bristol City.Geary, who missed last week's win over Hull due to a groin problem, is back in contention but the Blades are without suspended skipper Chris Morgan.

Morgan was sent off against Hull for two yellow cards and will sit out an extra match as it was his second red card of the season.

Ugo Ehiogu is expected to retain his place alongside Matt Kilgallon in central defence.

Leading goalscorer James Beattie is likely to continue up front alongside Billy Sharp, with Rob Hulse on the bench.

The Blades, who have lost just one of their last 10 league matches, will maintain their late play-off challenge with victory.
