Blades v Bournemouth LIVE
Early foul
from Adam Smith sends Davies flying on the touchline, a touch unneccessary as the ball was going out of play anyway and the Blades have the free kick
And we’re underway at the Lane
with the Blades kicking towards the away end first as ever, the Cherries in their green away kit

United were originally scheduled to host their fellow promotion-chasers at 3pm, but the game now kicks off at 12.45pm after being chosen for Sky Sports coverage.
Bournemouth’s midweek trip to West Brom was also moved 24 hours closer to the weekend, from Tuesday night to Wendesday evening, giving Parker’s men even less time to prepare to face the Blades.
