Sheffield United are taking on Wolves tonight at Bramall Lane as the two clubs begin their Premier League campaign.
The Blades made a blistering return to the top flight last season, finishing in the top half with one of the best defensive records in the league under manager Chris Wilder. Wolves has been excellent too since coming up the previous season under Nuno Espirito Santo and will expect to push the top six once more.
Follow it live:
48 mins: Solly March out-muscles Reece James on the left side and runs to the byline. He crosses the ball and Connolly meets it on the volley, sending it into the side netting. Bright start from Brighton to this second half.
Second half: The last two games between these sides at the Amex have both ended 1-1. Frank Lampard will be aware of that and he’ll want another goal to feel safe. Chelsea restart the game for the second half.
Brighton can feel a little frustrated with that half. One mistake has cost them a goal but they’ve played some promising football. There’s a fluidity to their passing and they’re getting a lot of balls into the box. A goal doesn’t feel too far away for them.
45+4 mins: Half time at the Amex. Chelsea have the lead at the break.
45+2 mins: Solid save from Matt Ryan. Werner darts into the box from the left side of the box. He gets past Dunk and aims for the near post but Ryan shoves it out for a corner.
45 mins: Adam Lallana has picked up an injury and is subbed off as Aaron Connolly comes on. Four added minutes to play at the end of the first half. There’s been a few stoppages.
42 mins: Loftus-Cheek bombs forward for Chelsea. He’s got Werner on his left and only White in between them. He brings the ball to the edge of the box but over commits and White nips in to take the ball. Good defending.
36 mins: That will give him some confidence though. Alzate weaves into a bit of space and laces one at goal, Kepa leaps to his right and palms the ball away from goal. Decent strike, decent save.
