  • 0' The game is set. Middlesbrough FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' It is a cagey affair so far. Middlesbrough FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Sheffield United FC's compact 4-4-1-1.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
