SAVE! Gibbs-White is over a free-kick on the left, and he whips his cross towards the near post. Wood attacks it and the forward pokes his effort towards the bottom-left corner, but Foderingham gets down to push it behind.

Wood drives down the left and rolls a pass through to Gibbs-White, who flicks the ball past Bogle before being taken out by the Blades defender. A moment of real frustration from Bogle, with Forest now looking confident.

OVER! Danilo shows some quick feet to skip past Robinson on his way to the edge of the box. The Brazilian then whips his effort from the edge just over the top of the bar.

The Blades have pushed the ball around for the last two minutes without much intent. McAtee then gets down the left and looks to put a cross into the box on the byline, but it deflects back off him after hitting Boly and out for a goal-kick.
Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest
United have conceded 54 goals in their 17 Premier League home games this season. In English top-flight history, only Aston Villa in 1935-36 have ever shipped more at home in a single campaign (56). The Blades have conceded 100 goals this season overall, and there should be no surprise, as they haven’t learned from their mistakes. The hosts keep allowing Hudson-Odoi to move the ball onto his right foot, and he has scored twice.
