Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder made 11 changes in the third round against AFC Fylde but insists that will not be the case at The Den.

"It won't be 11 changes, maybe two or three," said Wilder. "I talked about putting out a strong side in the last round but that was dictated by two fixtures against Manchester City and Liverpool.

"It's going to be a strong side. We want to go down there and put a performance on and be in the hat for the next round."
