Sheffield United dust off their Santa hats for trip to Aston Villa

Sheffield United fans were so close to an early Christmas present at Villa Park last night as their side were cruelly denied a stunning win at Aston Villa. Cameron Archer scored what looked to be the winner on his return to his boyhood club before a 97th-minute equaliser from Nicolo Zaniolo rescued a point for the title-chasers.

It was almost the perfect away performance for the Blades, with boss Chris Wilder rejected accusations of his side's performance being "anti-football". He said: "It always seems when we play at Villa Park it's an interesting night. We were up against a team on a fabulous run, who have swatted aside better teams than us."

The Blades return to action on Boxing Day at home to relegation rivals Luton but before then, can you spot yourself, or a Blades fan you know, in our gallery of festive Unitedites in the away end at Villa Park?
