DAVID Moss reported that some of his players were dizzy and suffering from dehydration after Saturday's goalless draw against Boston.

However, with Dave Flitcroft still suspended and Chris and Steve Macauley injued, the same personnel will have to take on Division One favourites Sheffield United in the first round of the Carling Cup tonight.

Macc are set to earn £50,000 from their fifth televised game in the last three years but Moss said: "It's a great opportunity for the club but really it's a distraction from our main purpose, Division Three."

Neil Warnock has wrought major surgery to his squad, while retaining his key players like Michael Brown and pacy pair Michael Tonge and Phil Jagielka.

Prediction: Macclesfield 1 Sheffield United 3
