Sheffield United vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Sheffield United have been snapping into their tackles early on, trying to impose themselves on an apparently 'winnable' game - at least on paper. With one league victory all season, they are overdue some success at Bramall Lane.

After Trusty's cross from the left flank is blocked behind for a corner, Hamer swings over a curling cross towards the back post. However, it's overhit in the swirling wind and ultimately skips straight out of play on the right byline.

Brentford kick off, and we are under way in Sheffield!

Both teams are out on the pitch at Bramall Lane, and kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!

Bryan Mbeumo's seventh goal of the season on Wednesday preceded an ankle injury that could keep the Brentford striker sidelined until next year, further adding to the Bees' long list of absentees - Rico Henry, Kevin Schade, Aaron Hickey, Kristoffer Ajer, Nathan Collins, Mathias Jensen and Josh Dasilva all miss out, alongside the suspended Ivan Toney. Thomas Frank makes three changes in all: Mbeumo's misfortune opens the door for Wissa and Lewis-Potter to join forces up front, while captain Norgaard returns from suspension.

Wilder names an unchanged Sheffield United XI today, despite losing to Liverpool in midweek. Osula retains his place up front, as Blades striker Oli McBurnie serves the second of a two-game suspension following his red card against Burnley; Oliver Norwood has accumulated five bookings so is also sidelined.
