Two debuts, no McAtee - Sheffield United predicted XI v Everton after transfer deadline: gallery
Danny Hall
·3-min read
Superb last time out against Manchester City and has been one of United’s leading lights so far this season, so an obvious pick
Although James McAtee signed on loan from Manchester City too late to feature against Sean Dyche’s side, Luke Thomas could make his first appearance in Blades colours after arriving from Leicester City earlier in the week.
Both United and Everton are looking for their first points of the league season, with United hoping to take the confidence from last weekend’s battling performance against reigning champions City into what is already looking like a huge clash.
With boss Paul Heckingbottom’s options also boosted by the arrival of Cameron Archer from Aston Villa, we tasked our man Danny Hall with stepping into Heckingbottom’s shoes and selecting the side he would send out to face Everton - do you agree with his selections?
A tougher choice, given Bogle’s impact off the bench against Manchester City last time out. But Baldock has enough credit in the bank to be United’s first choice, providing his slight niggle is not still causing him issues. If it is, then I’d have no issues with Bogle starting
Still to hit his heights of last season so far this time around but barring injury or illness, will start against Everton (Photo: George Wood)

Auston Trusty looked solid enough on his debut in midweek but Robinson has done enough to keep his place from the last league game
The Leicester loanee’s top-flight experience means he comes straight into my side at left wing-back over Yasser Larouci, who is still getting to grips with life in the Premier League
Still so important to the way United play and showed that against City, doing a good job up against a player of Rodri’s calibre and sending Traore clear with his unrivalled range of passing (Photo: DARREN STAPLES)
His physical presence has had a real effect on Norwood and is getting fitter by the game. The type of midfielder United have not had for years and looks a shrewd signing
Offers a spark of creativity to United’s XI and is capable of making something out of nothing. More than capable of handling himself too in what could become a real arm-wrestle (Photo: Michael Regan/Getty Images)
Another who is getting better by the game as he gets fitter and more used to life in English football. With McBurnie presumably not fully fit, I’d unleash him from the bench after his impact against City (Photo: Laurence Griffiths)
United’s big-money signing has been signed to make an impact, and what better time to do it than in such a big game?
