    We were talking about that aggressive line in the first half and the replays show Haller just a body's width offside. That's a tight one and Sheffield United were dicing with it there.

    David Moyes is able to make his second change of the game as Robert Snodgrass comes on for Arthur Masuaku.

    Snodgrass is straight on to the pitch and straight into the action as he delivers a free kick that Sebastian Haller volleys in... but he's offside!

    Apart from the Felipe Anderson chance just before half-time, West Ham have created next to nothing tonight.

    Anderson looked like he had taken a knock a couple of minutes ago.

    These are tough times for the Hammers and new boss David Moyes.

    Midway through the second half and West Ham are yet to have a shot of any type in this half. Robert Snodgrass is preparing to come on. The away side certainly need an injection of creativity.

    The thing about the goal is, Balbuena's made the run but none of the other West Ham players have moved or reacted. So, if he had received the ball successfully and turned, the options wouldn't have been there anyway, so all he could've done is knock it long himself.

    West Ham are exposed at the back as they chase the game and Sheffield United break.

    Lys Mousset's first touch lets him down but he is able to get the ball across goal before John Lundstam's shot is blocked by Aaron Cresswell. From the resulting corner, Lundstram heads wide.

    John Lundstram gives the ball straight to Declan Rice but Sheffield United are able to organise themselves before West Ham can capitalise.

    Andy: That wasn't Martin's error, what was Balbuena doing? He could easily have reached that ball, he just seemed to freeze. Very odd.

    It's horrible when you make mistake as a goalkeeper. You just want the ground to swallow you up. In my own brain I would be saying 'look, I'm going to make one of these every now and again, it's happened, let's make sure it doesn't happen again for a long time.'

    David McGoldrick's wait for a Premier League goal goes on. He is replaced by Lys Mousset as Sheffield United look to kill this game off.

    It's a difficult and horrible one. David Martin went as big as he could and if he had dived along the floor, he would've saved it. But it's crept underneath him and in a tight game like this, it was something out of nothing and like off the playground. Frustrations for managers as you can plan for most things but not for something like that.

    That goal has got the Blades' tails up while West Ham look rattled. The visitors again give up possession in defence but this time Sheffield United cannot capitalise.

    Terrible mistake by the Hammers!

    The Blades are given an absolute gift as David Martin's sloppy pass to Fabian Balbuena is pounced on by John Fleck, who then squares to Oli McBurnie and the striker fires under Martin's body for the opener.

    It wasn't a good clearance by Fabian Balbuena and he Pablo Zabaleta were like statues in front of the strike - they didn't want to give away a penalty. It was a tough chance but in the context of the game, a big one.

    Good start to the second half by Sheffield United as they win a corner. Oliver Norwood plays it short to Enda Stevens, gets the ball back but his delivery is headed over by Oli McBurnie.

    Noel Fitzpatrick: I think West Ham have that bit more guile than the home side, especially in Felipe Anderson, I fancy an away win 1-2.

    Steve Bland: I’d rather watch 45 mins of Meghan and Harry analysis than watch another half of this. What a dire game.

    John Fleck's shot smacks into Pablo Zabaleta's body and the loose ball falls invitingly to Fleck again but he sweeps his follow up just wide of the far post.

    That's probably the closest the Blades have come to the opener.

    One thing to keep an eye on in this half. David McGoldrick is two shots away from having the most shots without scoring in Premier League history.

    He's such a hard worker and has played an important role in helping the Blades to where they are this season, but he'll be desperate to see the back of that net bulging.
