Sheffield United ended a four-match winless run with a victory at Norwich City last time out and would rise to fifth place with a victory on Saturday.
Aston Villa have slipped to 17th and are only outside the bottom three on goal difference, but they boast an impressive record against their Matchweek 17 hosts.

Chris Wilder has reported no fresh injury concerns for Sheffield United ahead of Saturday's match.
Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings (hamstring) will miss the trip to Bramall Lane.
Fellow defender Matt Targett (knock) is available while Keinan Davis (hamstring) is nearing a return, but Saturday's contest could be too soon.
