Hamer sends the free-kick forward but it runs all the way out of play, much to the delight of the home support. #bbcefl, Whats App 03301231826, text 81111 (UK only, standard rates apply) Why are Burnley mucking around with the ball at the back? They will struggle in the Premier League - they are a Southampton in the making. Alan Burnley 0-0 Sheff Utd Hannibal Mejbri feels he should have had a foul for Burnley as he's challenged by Blades defender Anel Ahmedhodzic in the United half.

Burnley 0-0 Sheff Utd Andy Giddings Sports Editor, BBC Sheffield The front four are making it really difficult for Burnley, it's a really good setup from Blades. We know Burnley are very pragmatic in their build-up, our boys are pressing well and limiting the chances for Burnley. There's really encouraging signs so far. Burnley 0-0 Sheff Utd Four shots and two on target inside the opening 12 minutes for Sheffield United. They've made their intent clear.

Free-kick and just a talking to for the Blades defender. Burnley 0-0 Sheff Utd David Unsworth Former Burnley and Everton defender on BBC Radio Lancashire The interesting thing about Sheffield United is they aren't playing 4-4-2 - they are playing with a front four. They are absolutely going for it. Any time they get any ball it's just going up to the front four.

This is perfectly poised. Burnley 0-0 Sheff Utd What a start this almost is for Sheffield United. .. right from they off, they get into the Burnley box on the right with Tom Cannon. He pulls it back for Kieffer Moore who spins on it and gets an effort on target from about 12 yards out. It's straight at James Trafford in the Burnley goal, luckily for the Clarets.
