4' Cameron Pring is having his name booked by the referee on 4.
9' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 5-3-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
14' With 0 assists to his name this season, Leo Hjelde is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Bristol City FC.
19' Sheffield United FC is showing some good football. However, Sheffield United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
20' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Thomas Cannon.
23' A stunning finish from Mark Sykes — that came from absolutely nowhere!
28' Radek Vitek, a Czech Republic goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sheffield United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
56' It is a cagey affair so far. Bristol City FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Sheffield United FC's compact 5-3-2.
61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

66' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Andre Brooks.
