Blackpool v Sheffield United - live updates

Key Events

  • FT: Blackpool 0-0 Sheffield United
  • Seasiders looking to cut the gap to the Championship play-offs
  • Blades sit in sixth, six points ahead of Neil Critchley’s side

It ends goalless.

What a game. What an effort. The Seasiders couldn’t have given much more.

Three minutes added on.

Jerry Yates is Blackpool's final change, replacing Gary Madine.

84 - Nothing to lose!

The Seasiders are going for this now and inevitably leaving gaps. They know how vital a win is.

ON: Charlie Kirk and Shayne Lavery

OFF: Callum Connolly and CJ Hamilton

A corner was partially cleared to Oli Norwood, who drilled a powerful effort towards goal. It took a wicked deflection off a teammate and wrongfooted Grimshaw. But the linesman’s flag is belatedly up for offside.

It remains 0-0.

71 - Frustrated visitors

Billy Sharp is cutting a frustrated figure now having been central to all of Sheffield United's good play in the first-half.

Josh Bowler lashes one so wide it almost hits the corner flag.

The winger is still in imperious form here.

Josh Bowler's low shot/cross bobbles just wide. Seasiders are all over the Blades here.

64 - What a chance!

Great chance for CJ Hamilton who blazes over after being slipped in by Kenny Dougall. Should be 1-0.
