Blades v Hull City: Updates from Yorkshire ‘derby’
McBurnie gets up
to head Norwood’s deep cross goalwards, but he can’t get it on target and it sails wide of Ingram’s left-hand post
Half-time
and it’s still goalless after a first 45 that seemed to last forever with some of City’s timewasting antics, McBurnie has seen a couple of good chances go begging - including a late header over the City bar - while Gibbs-White also went close, but City have been a threat themselves with Lewis-Potter particularly dangerous. It’ll be interesting to see if they keep up their gamesmanship in the second half or actually have a proper go at United, because it could be a pretty decent game if they do. And a hell of a lot less frustrating, too. Join us for the second half to see which way it goes...

Smallwood has a go
after Hourihane’s sloppy ball gives it away in a bad area, Lewis-Potter’s effort is blocked by Basham and it’s worked back to Smallwood, whose curling effort is over the bar
McBurnie finds himself
in space down the left channel, he fashions an angle to shoot but he’s denied from close range by Ingram - not sure how much the goalkeeper knew about it but he kept it out, and that’s all that matters
Slater fires wide
on the rebound after Lewis-Potter skinned Basham again, his cross was headed away as far as the former Blade but he couldn’t get his shot on target
