A great chance for McGoldrick. Burke flicks the ball back to Lundstram who plays in McGoldrick in the inside left position in the penalty area and he opens his body up to aim low for the far corner but Darlow saves on the stretch.
10'
Burke this time receives the ball running down the left flank, playing back to Lundstram whose curling effort is well wide of the target.
8'
Basham plays in Burke in the right hand side of the penalty area but his cross is cleared well by Fernandez.

Schaer clears Bogle's inswinging corner.

Newcastle get us underway...
17:55
Sheffield United are available at a touch under 6/4 to get their first win in the league. It's probably as short a price as they've been all season. Newcastle are available at a tad over 5/2.
17:51
The one change Chris Wilder has made from the side that beat the Gas at the weekend is starting Oliver Burke in place of Lys Mousset after the former West Brom forward made a big impact after coming off the bench in the Cup.
17:41
Newcastle have drawn two and lost three in their last five games since beating West Brom a month ago.
17:37
A rare feeling for Sheffield United coming into this game on the back of a win. A feeling they haven't experienced since July. Admittedly only against Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup but they will take any buoy they can at this stage.
17:31
A man maybe more than any other in the English game who deserves the precursor BIG, Andy Carroll starts for the Magpies tonight since he left for Liverpool ten years ago. **My mistake, he starts on the bench - as you were.
17:25
While the Blades' fate seems sealed win or lose, Newcastle would like a win to put 11 points between them and third-bottom Fulham.
17:15
A nice sub-plot that Bruce showed Chris Wilder the exit route when he was boss of the Blades. No grudge from Big Chris though, you really would like to see him get the win tonight - unless part of the Toon Army of curse.
17:07
Trying to deny Sheffield United their first league victory of the season are this side.
17:05
Here is how Sheffield United are lining up.
