  1. HALF-TIME

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    10-man Sheffield United holding firm against Aston Villa.

  2. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Villa have a free-kick but Conor Hourihane's free-kick, FROM THE LEFT, sails out of play.

  3. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Villa making zero inroads.

    This is so frustrating to watch.

    Hopefully Dean Smith switches it up at half time.

  5. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Four minutes added on.

  6. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    *Ctrl c + ctrl v.*

    Villa cross from the left, blocked/headed away by Sheffield United.

    There's a quote I'm thinking of where you keep on doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

    Can someone help?

  7. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    The substitution by Chris Wilder has been fantastic. By putting John Fleck out there on the left-hand side, he's done a great job. We've not really heard much from Matty Cash in the last five minutes. It's a good tactical switch.

  8. NOT CLOSE!

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Conor Hourihane takes matters into his own hands from the edge of the area but curls a left footed strike way over.

  9. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Yet still Villa continue to look at the route down that left flank.

    It's not working, try something else??

  10. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Kieron Dyer
    Former England and Newcastle midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live

    That's a great save! But we'll probably have another VAR check to see whether his leg was on the line aren't we?!

  11. GREAT SAVE!

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    John Lundstrum steps up...

    ...but Emiliano Martinez dives the right way, full stretch to make a stunning save on his Aston Villa debut.

    What a way to introduce yourself to your new team-mates.

  12. VAR

    Video Assistant Referee

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    VAR Mike Dean having plenty of looks at it.

    The onfield ref has given it, why the delay? Get on with it.

  13. YELLOW CARD

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Matt Targett booked for the challenge.

    That was poor defender, Chris Basham managed to get the wrong side of him and the Villa man no choice but to stick a leg out.

  14. PENALTY TO SHEFFIELD UTD

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Oliver Burke leads the counter for Sheffield United and slips a lovely through ball towards Chris Basham, but the defender is tripped in the box by Matt Targett and the referee points to the spot.

  15. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Kieron Dyer
    Former England and Newcastle midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live

    They are still playing a 4-4-1 formation. Chris Basham has moved up into midfield.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Chris Wilder let it go for 20 minutes but makes a defensive change.

    Striker David McGoldrick is sacrificed for the 10 men with defender/midfielder Ethan Ampadu making a debut for the Blades.

  17. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Villa haven't really made their man advantage count so far.

    The crosses keep coming but Sheffield United are wise to it and are clearing their lines.

    Villa need a bit more guile and inventiveness, need to get a certain Jack Grealish on the ball.

  18. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Another ball clipped in from the left but Chris Basham leaps with a diving header to knock the ball to safety.

    Villa come again...

  19. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Kieron Dyer
    Former England and Newcastle midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live

    When a team goes down to 10 men, you have to make the pitch as big as possible. The wide men need to go wider. Villa know to do that and they are causing Sheffield United loads of problems.

  20. Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    Omens don't look good for Chris Wilder...

    Sheffield United failed to win any of the previous 10 Premier League games in which they received a red card.
