Antonio decision due and likely line-up for Sheffield

|

David Moyes is likely to reveal Michail Antonio’s position when he holds his pre-Sheffield United presser at Rush Green tomorrow (Thurs).

Antonio has missed the Bournemouth and Gillingham games after a scan revealed  he had liquid on the damaged hamstring from which returned after an eight week lay off.

But the prediction was that he would have a chance of making it for the game against the Blades at Bramall Lane before his latest lay off.

Despite having two wins behind him David Moyes could be tempted into  changes apart bringing back Cresswell and Nobes with a strong possibility of the increasingly impressive Fornals coming in for Snodgrass.

No decision is set to be made until just before kick off on Antonio but it would certainly be a surprise if he  were not to be included in the match day squad.

Expected line-up:  Fabianski, Zaba, Diop, Balbuena, Ogbonna Cresswell; Rice, Noble, Fornals, Anderson, Haller.
