Hendrie back in contention for Blades

Sheffield United can extend their unbeaten run to seven games against managerless Plymouth. Lee Hendrie is hoping to return for The Blades after overcoming illness and a groin injury. Rob Hulse is not ready to return to first-team action. The former Leeds striker scored twice in his comeback match for the reserves last week, but will not be rushed back after breaking his leg in March. Goalkeeper Paddy Kenny could return to the squad after missing the last five matches with a bruised shin and Derek Geary is also nearing a return. The Irish defender has returned to full training after having knee surgery last month.

No new injury worries for Plymouth

Plymouth will be without Krisztian Timar as they begin life without Ian Holloway, as the Hungarian central defender is suspended after receiving his fifth caution of the season in the 3-0 home win over Norwich last time out. Timar's place is set to go to French defender Mat Doumbe, who partnered Dutchman Marcel Seip at the heart of the Argyle defence at the start of the season and will slot back in alongside Seip. Holloway's assistant Tim Breacker has no new injury worries.
