Ooh. A quick break by Palace. Jean-Philippe Mateta holds it up then lays it off to Jordan Ayew.

He tries to ping it across to Michael Olise but Vitaly Janelt dives in to intercept and concede a corner.

From the corner, it's sent wide by Jefferson Lerma.

Wolves lead at the break thanks to Max Kilman's goal.

A bit of a scuffle.

James Tarkowski and João Gomes have to be pulled apart, while the referee shows a yellow card to Tommy Doyle and Dwight McNeil.

It all came from contact by Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Craig Dawson.

Half a chance for Lyle Foster as he makes some space for himself on the edge of the area but his curled effort is no danger for Emiliano Martínez.

For me, Rodri, Declan Rice and Douglas Luiz have been the best of the best in midfield this season.

Feisty challenge from Saman Ghoddos and he's in the book after bringing down Michael Olise.

Manchester City ahead at the break but Sheffield United very much still in this one.

Just a minute or so to go until half time at the Etihad and Sheffield United are still right in this.

Pep Guardiola's side have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight games, they will want to break that run today.

The gusty wind almost caught Jordan Pickford out there as he dallied a bit when Toti sent a long ball over, but the Everton keeper did just enough to nick the ball away from Hwang Hee-chan closing in.

It was a blow losing to Manchester United, but Aston Villa at home are formidable.

Keane Lewis-Potter's deep cross comes to Mads Roerslev. He touches it down looking for Yoanne Wissa but Dean Henderson reacts to gather it in.

At the other end, Ethan Pinnock's back pass almost cross the goalline and Mark Flekken has to slide in to concede a corner! Nervy.

There was almost a bit of confusion as to whether Ollie Watkins was offside or not.

Yeah, he's onside.

Not much space between Burnley's line and that was a ball that Ollie loves to get on the end of. It was a good run and cross and a good finish from Diaby.

Jordan Pickford races off his line to close down Hwang Hee-chan and he does just enough to clear it in time.

Another long VAR check but the goal stands. Relief for the home fans.

Mateo Kovacic brings down William Osula as the striker gets on a run. Bit of a 'take one for the team' tackle and he goes into the book.

Brentford's Vitaly Janelt needs some treatment so Roy Hodgson uses the opportunity to have a few words with Michael Olise.

Ooooh! Another chance for Sheffield United in the space of just a couple of minutes and this time Ederson does have to make a save.

The corner comes in and William Osula gets a decent header on it which Ederson dives high to his right to save.

Sheffield United growing in confidence.
