Sheffield United are firmly in the race for the Sky Bet Championship title, and will be hopeful of a slip-up from their promotion rivals prior to their clash away at Swansea.

The Swans are hopeful of offloading Wilfried Bony this month, which should free up significant funds in the wage budget to make some impact additions.

For the Blades, they’ve already welcome Kieran Dowell and Gary Madine but aren’t as desperate for new faces with Chris Wilder’s side flying high in the division.

One player who has starred in midfield has been Oli Norwood, with the Northern Ireland international becoming a full-time member of the United squad after turning his loan deal permanent.

He’s an influential member of this side, even being handed the captain’s armband on multiple occasions. More importantly, for the statistics at least, he has had a hand in eight league goals this season.
