The 23rd-placed Pilgrims are winless in 10 away league games this season, during which time they have conceded 27 goals and scored just three. Bramall Lane, meanwhile, has been a fortress for the Blades this season as they aim for a return to the Premier League.
Their goalkeeper Michael Cooper has started their last eight home games after joining from Argyle in August and he has not conceded a goal in any of them as Chris Wilder's United have clinched eight consecutive victories.
The Blades began this season with a two-point deduction after defaulting on payments to other clubs during the 2022/23 Championship campaign, but 13 wins and five draws from 20 games has seen them move to the top of the table, a point above Leeds United.
Rooney said: "They are a very efficient team, experience mixed with some good young players. They don't concede many goals and normally when they get chances they take them so we are expecting a really tough game.
