Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says Ravel Morrison could see action against Chelsea.
Morrison produced a man-of-the-match performance on his full Sheffield United debut in midweek, setting up one of the goals in a 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Blackburn.
Wilder says the 26-year-old "did himself a world of good" and hinted he may have played his way into contention to start against Chelsea on Saturday.
He said: "The tempo and the rhythm of the game on Tuesday night was affected by the changes but we were caught between a rock and a hard place because of the importance of the game on Saturday and getting minutes to players who have not played.
"I expected them to play a little better as a team but understandably with the changes we lost our rhythm.
"Ravel did not do himself any harm as neither did a few of the players on the night.
"Some took their opportunities and some miss out, that is always the case. We won't tell you who missed out. Ravel did himself a world of good."
