    So Sheffield United are into the top two courtesy of their victory, while Birmingham City will feel a lot happier about life after getting their first win under caretaker manager Lee Carsley.

    Blues remain in the bottom three, but that's a big, big win.

    There's a tense atmosphere around St Andrews. It's been so long since they won and you can tell the home fans are anxious as we enter the final stages.

    It would be a huge lift for them if they were to win tonight, but there's still a few minutes of normal time to play.

    Ben Rymer: We're halfway to getting the points we need to stay up and it's only September! Amazing start.

    Peter: Chrissy Wilder is building something very special at Sheffield United.

    Hard to disagree with that, Peter. They've been very good value for their impending win tonight.

    Hands up if you had Cardiff City and Sheffield United as your Championship top two after 10 games?

    Could this be a first win for Birmingham City since 12 August?

    Isaac Vassell scores the easiest goal he'll ever score as he finishes past Joe Wildsmith from close range after Jacques Maghoma plays him into acres of space past the Sheffield Wednesday back line.

    Lee Carsley is on the verge of his first win as caretaker boss of Blues.

    Sheffield United are enjoying themselves at Bramall Lane. Mark Duffy has the chance to make it 3-0, but can't turn the ball home, with Wolves goalkeeper John Ruddy doing just enough.

    They're heading for a seventh win in 10 league games this season.

    Wolves are making their final substitution, taking off Ruben Neves for winger Ivan Cavaleiro.

    It's not been the midfielder's best night - he's missed a penalty and was also booked before being withdrawn from the field by his head coach.

    What a couple of years Chris Wilder has had.

    2015-16: League Two champions with Northampton Town.

    2016-17: League One champions with Sheffield United.

    2017-18? Wilder's Blades will be second in the Championship after 10 games if they can beat 10-man Wolves.
