Reading v Blades LIVE

as Brewster gets there just before his man, nicks the ball away and draws the foul - it’s probably about 30 yards out but Gibbs-White looks like he fancies this... OFF THE BAR! He looks to curl it goalwards but it rebounds off the bar and to safety

Bash gets one wrong

as he aims a switch to Stevens and plants it directly between him and Davies out for a throw-in, Reading will have a rare touch of the ball after United dominated it so far - and it doesn’t last long as Egan marshalls back to Basham to clear

McGoldrick gets round the back

to meet Norwood’s deep cross, but it rebounds off the Reading ‘keeper for another corner, which eventually comes to nothing

Good spell of Blades possession

ends with Fleck smashing it out of play with no-one near him and the ball going nowhere near any of his teammates - he got that one horribly wrong

as McGoldrick plays a one-two with Brewster and his cross is deflected behind - Reading scramble the ball clear before Gibbs-White attempts an audacious volley but can’t get it on target

Final preparations with just over 10 minutes to go until kick-off...

If you wondered why Ndiaye is absent today

He played for the Blades’ U23s earlier today
