10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sheffield United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sheffield United FC that had 372 games and scored 444 goals.
25' Sheffield United FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Middlesbrough FC's shape.
30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sheffield United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
34' Stewart Downing is replacing Aden Flint for the Middlesbrough FC side.
35' Poor challenge from Ryan Shotton. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
38' The referee has no hesitation. Oliver Norwood is booked for Sheffield United FC — Yellow card on 38.
43' Over 43 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
45' Richard Stearman is replacing George Baldock for the Sheffield United FC side.
46' Gary Madine gets the nod from Sheffield United FC. He replaces Mark Duffy and will look to change the dynamic.

67' George Saville makes way for Britt Assombalonga at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from Middlesbrough FC.
72' 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 Britt Assombalonga suffering a number of foals already.
76' Sheffield United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 76.
81' The crowd applauds Jonathan Howson as he leaves the pitch. Rajiv van La Parra steps in for Middlesbrough FC.
