The Blades squad to face Preston North End at the Lane this weekend is boosted by the inclusion of two new signings.

Stephen Jordan (calf) has recovered from injury and could make his debut, whilst French defender Jean Calve is also poised for a start after signing a year long loan.

Gary Speed reports a full strength squad apart from long term absentees Darius Henderson, Ryan France and Lee Williamson.

For the Lilywhites, Sean St Ledger and Billy Jones face fitness checks ahead of the trip.
St Ledger only lasted until half-time in the midweek Carling Cup win over Bradford.

Right-back Jones missed the game altogether having taken a knock to his eye and suffered a cut eye in last week's clash against Portsmouth.
