    Lucas Moura hasn't quite got his angles right as he plays a wayward ball intended for Son Heung-min in the area.

    Osama Khalid: Why would you not play Eric Bailly,what is the fascination of having lindelof in the team. Play your best team @ManUtd, external, that is with Bailly!!

    Francesca Gunn: Why is ole changing a good thing! Bailly has been solid, he has made our defense stronger! Lindelof is shoddy & liable, he make maguire look weak! Ole does this every time a player is playing good, finding their stride he replaces them with a weaker player

    Sheff Utd 1-3 Tottenham

    Steven Bergwijn tracks back to carry out his defensive duties - he does it well before playing a ball across the pitch which is intercepted.

    No harm as yet - Spurs are doing a great job in nullifying the threat.

    Aurier and Ndombele. The French connection strikes again.

    Wait, was that a Spurs goal without either Son or Kane involved? Spooky.

    The corner comes to nothing. As the Blades try to break, the ball comes off the back of Andre Marriner, who presses reset.

    We go again.

    Sheff Utd 1-3 Tottenham

    Jayden Bogle kicks the ball out for a corner, when perhaps he didn't need to.

    Son Heung-min's swinging delivery is hacked away from the near post.

    Moments later, the South Korean's effort goes out for corner.

    Sheffield United get into a promising position at the other end of the pitch but John Lundstram makes a mess of a cross from the right.

    Veteran hitman Billy Sharp comes on for Chris Basham.

    Sixteen plus stoppage remaining.

    Liverpool v Man Utd (16:30 GMT)

    Xherdan Shaqiri starts for Liverpool as the only change boss Jurgen Klopp makes from the 1-0 defeat by Southampton last time out in the Premier League. He replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

    The Reds remain without a recognised centre back, with Jordan Henderson looking set to partner Fabinho once more.

    Manchester United, meanwhile, make three changes to the side that beat Burnley, with Victor Lindelof, Fred and Scott McTominay coming into the side.

    Eric Bailly, Nemanja Matic and Edinson Cavani drop out.

    Spurs look to make more mischief.

    Steven Bergwijn, who has been exceptional in attack, sees an effort blocked inside the area.

    Young striker Rhian Brewster comes on. Can he make a difference?

  14. Postpublished at 70 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-3 Tottenham

    The thing is the Blades have still got enough time to sort out their heads and go again.

    David McGoldrick tries to do his best to reduce the deficit once more, but his effort is easily gathered by Hugo Lloris.

    Full credit to Spurs - at the moment it looked like history could be repeating, they've all but ensured it doesn't.

    Tanguy Ndombele has no right whatsoever to get that in. He's got himself in a position where he's miles outside the corner of the 6 yard line. With his right foot he's just flicked it up behind himself, you can't call it an overhead kick it's an overhead outside of the right foot flick. Absolutely brilliant goal.

    GOAL - Sheff Utd 1-3 Tottenhampublished at 62 mins

    Tanguy Ndombele

    Absolutely incredible!

    OK, so people will ask whether he meant it, but let's assume he did.

    The ball is played to Tanguy Ndombele on the left corner of the six-yard area. The midfielder has his back to goal, with two Blades defenders for company, but flicks the ball over him, over the reach of Aaron Ramsdale and into the far corner.

    Watch it on MOTD later.

    Sheffield United have looked better, mostly down this left hand side. David McGoldrick hasn't had a sniff of a chance so far, that was his first one, lovely little header flicked over, goalkeeper has no chance. 2-1 game on!
