FLW's Sheffield United fan pundit is desperate to see Gustavo Hamer return to Chris Wilder's starting XI ahead of Monday night's monumental clash with Leeds United.

The Blades' midfield maestro was absent from United's 1-0 win over Luton Town last time out due to a fatigued hamstring issue, having picked up the knock during the 3-1 victory against Middlesbrough on 12 February.

Wilder is confident that Hamer, as well as Kieffer Moore and Tom Cannon will be available for selection come Monday, in what would be a major boost heading into the biggest game of the season for Sheffield United.

It is Hamer, however, who our Blades fan pundit believes would be the most important change to the starting XI.

Chris Wilder told to bring Gus Hamer back into Sheffield United team if fit

We asked our Sheffield United fan pundit, Jimmy (aka Blades Ramble), what one change he would make to the Blades' line-up for Monday night's clash with Leeds.

Jimmy said: "We had quite a rotated team against Luton. We dropped Callum O'Hare, Sydie Peck, Gus Hamer was obviously out with a slight hamstring issue - we're hoping it's slight anyway.

"So, I would love to see those three return. I know you've asked me for one change! If you need me to pick one, Hamer needs to come back in because he's our best player.

"But, I'm fully expecting we'll see O'Hare in the 10, Peck in the eight alongside Vinny Souza, because that is our strongest team ahead of what is undoubtedly the biggest game of the season, probably for both teams really.

"Does the title come down to this game? If Leeds beat us, is that us back into a three-horse race for second place? I'm not sure. Probably. It's going to be really exciting. I cannot wait."

Gustavo Hamer return could enable Chris Wilder to deploy deadly Ben Brereton Diaz tactical tweak

Despite being a central midfielder by trade throughout the majority of his career, Hamer has really begun to transition into a full-time left midfielder for Sheffield United this season.

It's been a highly effective change too, as the 27-year-old has become a talismanic figure in Wilder's squad. However, in his absence against Luton, it was Ben Brereton Diaz who was asked to fill in on the left flank.

Whilst he can do a job there, the Chilean international is a centre-forward by trade, and with striker Tyrese Campbell's last goal coming in a 2-2 draw with West Brom on 8 December, the return of Hamer could enable Wilder to take his out-of-form forward out of the firing line, and push Brereton Diaz back into a number nine role.

This slight tactical tweak could really sharpen Sheffield United's cutting edge in attack, as they will require all the additional firepower they can muster in order to penetrate a watertight Leeds United defence.
