Birmingham City v Sheffield United team news: John Eustace names final starting XI of the season

Birmingham City and Sheffield United have announced their starting lineups and substitutes ahead of this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship finale at St Andrew’s.

On the day it was announced a takeover deal has been put in place for 45.64% of the club - as well as the entirety of the stadium - to be sold to Shelby Companies Limited, Blues will be eager to create a party atmosphere with a strong performance.

There’s added importance to this afternoon’s clash as Tom Wagner, the man leading the takeover, will be in attendance to watch Birmingham against the already-promoted Blades.

To build to the anticipation with just an hour to go until kick-off, here’s the confirmed team news from both sides.
