A bumper crowd is expected this evening after the Premier League bound Blades sold their entire initial allocation of tickets and then a supplementary allocation.
It’s likely that more than 2,800 away fans will flock to the Proact and Blades boss Chris Wilder is thought to be sending a strong side.
