    West Brom 1-0 Sheffield United

    John Fleck jinks in and out around the box, playing a few one-twos before a loose touch from Sander Berge.

    West Brom nick it off him and look to break but it comes to nothing. Karlan Grant is caught late by Berge though and needs some treatment.

    West Brom 1-0 Sheffield United

    Wow! Sam Johnstone has just pulled one out of Tier 1.

    Kean Bryan whips a menacing cross in from the left, Oliver Burke flicks it on and the Baggies keeper somehow tips it over the bar.

    Stunning reactions.

    West Brom 1-0 Sheffield United

    Aaron Ramsdale has got his hands on his hips. He's frustrated by that. The shot lacked any real power but he just couldn't see it.

    Sheffield United started as the better side byt West Brom have enjoyed more and more success with that ball in behind in the last few minutes.

    GOAL - West Brom 1-0 Sheffield Unitedpublished at 12 mins

    Conor Gallagher

    There's the opener!

    It comes from the corner. Conor Gallagher is lurking on the edge of the box and he hits it first time when it's cleared to him.

    There's too many bodies in the way so Aaron Ramsdale sees it late and he can't stop it rolling into the bottom right corner.

    Big goal.

    West Brom 0-0 Sheffield United

    Matheus Pereira finds Karlan Grant with a lovely ball over the top. Kean Bryan is caught napping a little but he does just enough to get back and put some pressure on.

    The shot is deflected out for a corner.

    West Brom 0-0 Sheffield United

    Oliver Norwood clatters into Conor Townsend and is the second player to get himself a yellow.

    The free-kick is sent in by Matheus Pereira but Kyle Bartley can't direct his volley at the back post. He looked offside anyway.

    West Brom 0-0 Sheffield United

    Callum Robinson skips away from league debutant Kean Bryan on the right and curls an inviting ball into the area.

    It's dealt with well by Sheffield United in the end.

    Sheffield have shown glimpses of how they performed last season. Let's see if they can turn that promise into points now! The blades can't let the season pass by without showing the league what real steel is!

    Looking forward to seeing Berge and Gallagher match up, two real Rolls Royces in the midfield!

    West Brom 0-0 Sheffield United

    Oliver Burke leaves Kyle Bartley chasing shadows on the left as he gets in behind and along the byline.

    He picks out George Baldock in the box but his first-time shot is a bit tame and is blocked in the six-yard area.

    It's only half-cleared to Chris Basham and he has a pop from long range. Not troubling anyone.

    Sheffield United have started on fire!

    It's whipped in from the right and it comes all the way through to John Fleck in the box. He drags his shot wide though.

    Errr, what was that?

    There's three around the free-kick - which is in a shooting position - but John Fleck eventually takes it.

    He tries to chip it towards the back post but it floats straight out for a goal kick.

    Rubbish.

    Almost a goal within seconds!

    One long ball, a knock-on from Oliver McBurnie and Oliver Burke is in. He slips before he shoots and West Brom get away with it.

    Branislav Ivanovic then makes a pretty reckless tackle just outside his box and Sheffield United have a free-kick. Good start!

    FT: Everton 0-1 Leeds

    Everton

    Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti to Sky Sports: "They got a goal at the end. We could have scored before, they could have scored before. In the end they won because they got the goal.

    "We knew they played like this. In the first half we had more problems defensively. In the second half we were better and had chances. We conceded a little bit less, but at the end they scored.

    "Tom Davies is in a new position, Iwobi is in a new position. In the second half we were more compact and we didn’t concede a lot. There are important players out in this moment, but we need to manage this. Lucas [Digne] is out for three months. I don’t want to say the game was not good. The game was difficult, but with more efficiency we could have won.

    "We’ve had more problems in recent games. We have to be focused in every game. We are in a good position in the table still, but we have to have more consistency at the back."

    FT: Everton 0-1 Leeds

    Everton

    Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti to BBC Sport: "We said before we expected a really open game - and it was. There were chances for both sides.

    "We thought the team who scored first would win the game. Our performance was not at the top. We expected this. We are disappointed with the defeat.

    "They attack with a lot of players - their full-backs, wingers, midfielders. We could be more efficent in the counter-attack. We didn't finish well.

    "This is a more difficult period. In a difficult period you can see how your players react - see their personality and character.

    "I still have confidence. We need more consistency."

  20. 'Going for another draw'published at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 28 November 2020

    West Brom v Sheffield United (20:00 GMT)

    There are various reasons why these two sides are the bottom two, and one of them is a lack of goals.

    West Brom have managed only six in nine league games, and Sheffield United have fared even worse with just four. That's the joint-lowest total with Burnley, who have played a game less.

    The Baggies and the Blades are also the only sides yet to win in the top flight this season, and both of them have no doubt earmarked this game as a big chance to put that right.

    Things don't always work out like that, though, which is why I am going for another draw.
