Chambers chests down Kolasinac’s cross and plays it across goal, but Aubameyang and Lacazette are unable to latch on to the loose ball! Arsenal get another corner, but the Blades’ backline continue to stand tall and clear the danger!
86'
Dream land for Sheffield United. They win a free-kick near the Arsenal corner flag as Sokratis is booked for a poor challenge.
84'
Sheffield United have abandoned attacking principles now. It's all about holding on for a 1-0 win. They have defended so well this evening, but there are a few tired legs out there now.

Chambers’ deep cross finds Kolasinac who ghosts in behind Baldock at the far post, but the left-back’s header goes well over Henderson’s goal.

A very inviting free-kick position, and Pepe curls it over the wall, but it's miles inside the post and Henderson easily gets across to hold.
🔄 69'
Substitution Granit Xhaka Alexandre Lacazette
61'
Plenty inside Bramall Lane thought that was in. Lundstram lays into the path of Fleck and he drills into the side-netting of Leno's goal.
59'
Close!

It was excellent build-up play from Nicolas Pepe, evading the attention of two Sheffield United defenders and clipping a cross into the box for the Spaniard, who scuffs a volley straight at goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
56'
A standing ovation for Blades icon Sharp as he comes on to replace the seemingly injured Mousset in Wilder’s first substitution of the match.

Sheffield United 0-0 Arsenal

It remains 0-0 but this has been a really good contest so far.

Arsenal especially missed good chances.

Basham wins a free-kick following a foul by Xhaka in promising territory for the Blades. Norwood floats it in only for Chambers to get in the way and concede another corner for the hosts.

🟹 15'
Yellow card to John Fleck

Sheffield United defender Phil Jagielka is out warming up. Is Dean Henderson injured?

No, it is Enda Stevens, who looks in a bit of strife and needs the physio to give him a check.
