- 0' We are underway at Anfield. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 3' John Lundstram is having his name booked by the referee on 3.
- 8' With 0 assists to his name this season, Enda Stevens is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sheffield United FC.
- 13' Brilliant from the ! Sander Berge makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 13.
- 18' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for John Egan suffering a number of foals already.

- 66' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Enda Stevens.
