Sheffield United can book their place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup tonight if they overcome Premier League Southampton at Bramall Lane.

The Blades beat Carlisle and Derby County to reach this stage, and Slavisa Jokanovic is expected to shuffle his pack once again tonight as he looks to manage his squad through a testing period of games.

Blades v Saints LIVE from the Lane

and United are level again as McBurnie calmly volleys home Osborn’s cross from the left, he had all the time in the world and could easily have skied it but he kept his composure to beat Forster and drag his side level, with just over 20 minutes remaining

and it’s Salisu who gets it, stealing ahead of Robinson from a short corner to poke home from close range - Ward-Prowse and Tella combined to catch out the Blades defence and Salisu got the decisive touch to put Saints ahead

Saints have the ball in the

net but the flag is up for offside, Tella’s shot hit Broja and he put it in, but the flag had already been raised

Big chance for the Blades

as McBurnie and Brewster combine to set Osborn free on goal, he looks to curl it past Forster who gets his giant body in the way and deflects it behind for a corner - which is headed away

Changes at the break

for the Blades as Brewster and Osborn replace Burke and Freeman - we’re back underway for the second half

and that brings to an end an entertaining game of football, with both sides having chances to go ahead - but it’s all square at the break. Some half-time player ratings...

Bogle 6

Basham 7

Robinson 7

Stevens 7

Guedioura 7

Norwood 7

Freeman 7

McBurnie 7

Ndiaye 8

Burke 7

the pitch and we’re back underway in first-half stoppage time

Another break in play

as Luke Freeman goes down in the centre-circle, Basham puts the ball out so he can get some treatment as the fourth official holds up the board with three added minutes on it - which may end up being more with Freeman’s injury

as Stevens slides in to block Valery’s cross, Redmond takes it from the Saints right and Diallo does well to win another corner off Ndiaye... the Blades scramble it clear eventually

after a bit of handbags with Vojnovic - the Saints defender is booked as well and that may just be a battle to keep an eye on for the rest of this game...
