Swansea v Blades, LIVE from the Liberty

McGoldrick has a go

first-time after a good driving run from Sharp, McGoldrick looks to curl it past Benda but it’s a comfortable save from the goalkeeper

Blades get a touch of the ball

at last and Norwood finds Burke with a nice pass, but Manning cuts it out when Burke looks to cut inside

from outside the box, he hits it well on his right foot but he’s leaning back slightly and it goes over the bar under pressure from Norwood - Swans continuing to dominate possession though

to get across and block Latibeaudiere’s shot after Swansea worked it wide

Early booking for Baldock

for leaving one on Paterson after the ball had gone, the play continued but the ref returned to book him and that’s now a long time for him to play on a caution...

Brewster looks to get away

and get on the end of a long pass forward, Cabango left it all alone and Brewster couldn’t get there before the goalkeeper Benda

Robinson clears at the back post

from Bidwell’s deep cross, Swansea pick the ball up and continue to pass it around - they’ve dominated possession so far but haven’t yet tested Ramsdale in the first eight minutes or so here as Baldock fouls Bidwell

Brewster drives down the left

and McGoldrick goes on the overlap before crossing for Sharp in the middle, Cooper for Swansea cuts it out and almost puts it through his own net but it’s only a corner, which is cleared

as McGoldrick closes down the Swans’ keeper Benda, he looks to play it out from the back and McGoldrick cuts it out but it goes wide, to the relief of the goalkeeper

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 to me

with Burke, McGoldrick and Brewster looking to supply the ammunition behind Sharp up top and Basham back in a back four, for the first time in a long time
