Michael Beale could make one change to the side that faced Blackburn last weekend with Taylor Richards replacing Olamide Shodipo. Influential winger Chris Willock was absent from the matchday squad last time out and remains a confirmed absentee for the visit of Middlesbrough. Chris Wilder could hand a full debut to summer signing Marcus Forss who appeared from the bench against West Brom on the opening day. Paddy McNair missed the opening day game through suspension and could start in midfield here, while Dael Fry has returned from injury and could replace Marc Bola at centre-back.
