Team News: Conor Sammon starts for Sheffield United, Lee Novak lines out for Chesterfield

Sammon, Novak both make debuts

Two on-loan strikers make their full league debuts today, as Conor Sammon starts up front for Sheffield United and Lee Novak leads the Chesterfield line.

Sheffield United make two changes to the backline that conceded four goals to Gillingham on the opening day, with Mark Howard taking George Long's place in goal, while David Edgar replaces Callum McFadzean at centre-back.

Martyn Woolford drops to the bench as Stefan Scougall keeps his midfield place following the Blades' League Cup win over Morecambe, and Conor Sammon replaces Jamie Murphy up front to make his home debut after joining on loan from Derby County.

Gboly Ariyibi drops to the bench as Lee Novak is named in Chesterfield's forward line alongside Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, following his season-long loan move from Birmingham City.

Sheffield United: Howard; Freeman, Edgar, Collins, McEveley (C); Baxter, Sharp, Scougall, Basham; Sammon, Adams Subs: J Wallace, McNulty, Woolford, Campbell-Ryce Reed, Long, K Wallace

Chesterfield: Lee; Talbot, Hird, Evatt, Jones; O'Shea, Gardner, Morsy (C), Banks; Ebanks-Blake, Novak Subs: Cairns, Orrell, Humphreys, Ariyibi, Gnanduillet, Raglan, Onovwigun
