Jayden Bogle - Receives banBogle will not be an option for Tuesday's match against Luton Town, having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Aston Villa on Friday.

ImpactBogle will be suspended for the Blades' next match, having received a ban due to yellow card accumulation. This loss will leave Sheffield without one of their regular starters, as the defender has started in all but five contests this season. Expect the likes of Luke Thomas or George Baldock to take over the starting role with Bogle out. He will next be available against Manchester City on Jan. 30.

Auston Trusty - Logs eight clearances versus VillaTrusty made one tackle, eight clearances and three interceptions and was shown a yellow card during Friday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

ImpactTrusty put up another impressive performance at the heart of the defense, being one of the biggest reasons why the league's second-best offense struggled so much to create chances and score. Despite having been an unused substitute in five of the first six matches of the campaign, the center-back is already among the top-20 EPL players with most clearances and it looks like he can just go up on rankings.

Oliver Norwood - Active display versus Aston VillaNorwood had two shots (one on target), created three chances, sent in two crosses (one accurate), made two interceptions, three clearances and one block and suffered two fouls duri...

ImpactNorwood returned to the starting XI for the first time since Dec. 2 and, if the midfielder wasn't spectacular, he did a little bit of everything on both ends of the pitch. With steady fantasy numbers and an upside due to his role on set pieces, Norwood can definitely become a factor if he starts appearing on the scoresheet more frequently. Up next for him is Tuesday's home clash against Luton Town.

Anel Ahmedhodzic - Missed villa match due to injuryAhmedhodzic was not an option in the Blades' last match against Aston Villa and is now in question for their Tuesday match against Luton Town, according to Danny Hall of The Star.

ImpactAhmedhodzic may be heading for another spell on the sidelines, having picked up an undisclosed injury that left him out against Aston Villa. The defender will hope the problem is only minor, as he has been a regular starter this season and already missed a four-match spell due to a hamstring injury. He could still get the nod against Luton on Tuesday, either in the starting XI or on the bench, but if he is not able to compete, expect Jack Robinson to claim the starting spot in the middle of the defense, just like he did against Villa.

Wes Foderingham - Allows late goal versus Aston VillaFoderingham made three saves and conceded one goal during Friday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

ImpactFoderingham had a nice performance here and looked on his way to keep a second clean sheet in three matches. But then, deep into second half's stoppage time, Nicolo Zaniolo appeared in front of him to head home a cross from the left and score a dramatic equalizer for the opposition. On the other hand, Foderingham's three saves took his season total to 84 over 18 starts, by far the best mark among all EPL goalkeepers.

Gustavo Hamer - Logs assist off bench versus VillaHamer made an assist and created two chances after coming off the bench during Friday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

ImpactHamer was brought as part of a double substitution just before the hour mark and was key for his side to find the back of the net as he made a great play on the left side of the box before assisting Cameron Archer for the opening goal of the match in the 87th minute. This was the second assist over the last three outings for the attacker and he'll hope this helps him to be back in the starting Xi for Tuesday's home clash against Luton Town.

Cameron Archer - Scores versus Aston VillaArcher scored a goal off two shots (one on target) during Friday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

ImpactArcher was having a quiet performance until the latter stages of the match but then he turned things around in the 87th minute by slotting home a pass from the left flank to open the scoring for his side. The goal against his former club was just the third of the season for the forward and he'll hope this is a sign of better things to come. Up next for Archer is Tuesday's home clash against Luton Town.
