Chris Wilder’s team take on John Sheridan’s Plymouth who sit in 20th place in npoer league 2. They are 7 points behind the U’s.
The yellows will be hoping for an inspired Luke McCormick who can help by keeping a clean sheet. But have the U’s got the finishing touches at the other end of the pitch?

It’s the first time Luke will be returning as a player to Plymouth since his sacking in 2008. I wonder what the reception will be like for him.
