Team news:  It's a case of 'same again' for Alan Knill's charges tonight, though the lads should be boosted with the return of a youngster from Telford.  The mere fact that a young kid from the outskirts of Birmingham can have such an effect on the morale and spirit of the lads is testament along to the skills and enthusiasm of Elliott Bennett.  The lad simply oozes character into the side and the dressing room.

Alan Knill wasn't the happiest of managers following Saturday's game with Sheff Wednesday stating that he believed the lads could do better.Tonight's gives the lads to prove just that.

Sheffield United though, without being disrespectful, are a better side than Wednesday - based purely on strength and depth of their squad.Big name players and premiership experience is there for all to see.Names such as Beattie, Kenny, Webber, Speed, Armstrong and more pack the Blades side with experience and flair.

Tonight's game will be the toughest of the Shakers pre-season thus far, but the introduction of Elliott Bennett should give the lads the boost to do as the manager asks - be better than Saturday.

The new season is now less than two weeks away, preparations for the new season are well advanced.Tonight's game isn't the bee all and end all, there's no points at stake, but with another Championship side due to Gigg Lane in a fortnight, the game should be used as a benchmark for the Carling Cup clash with Burnley.

Still no injuries for Alan Bent to contend with and one of the pre-season objectives looks to have worked out well so far - no serious injury problems.

It's another night of re-unions at Gigg Lane with two former players, a former coach, a former manager and a former Chairman - though Terry Robinson won't be at Gigg Lane.  Paddy Kenny makes his first return to Gigg Lane since leaving whilst Chris Armstrong came back with Oldham Athletic a few years ago.  Former coach Kevin Blackwell, not the Blades gaffer, was at Bury with Neil Warnock whilst his assistant Sam Ellis is the manager that signed Alan Knill as a player.  All will be made welcome on their return to BL9.

Kickoff is at 7:45pm

Kit:  The new home kit makes its second appearance tonight.
