Sheffield United take on Swansea City last night after the weekend's clash against Rotherham United was cancelled. The trip to Wales is a chance for United ...

However, we’ve no clarification on that, so it remains to be seen if Brooks is part of proceedings or not. Heckingbottom is being forced to use the full resources available to him and the eagle-eyed fan might have noticed a new face in training as United prepared to Rotherham at the weekend. Manager Paul Heckingbottom will be hoping for more of the same and he confirmed the mini break

Anel Ahmedhodzic is expected to shrug off the illness he suffered last week as Sheffield United return to action at Swansea City this evening.

Russell Martin has issued a warning to Sheffield United that anything can happen in the Championship before Swansea City's league clash.

Swansea are undefeated in their last four meetings with Sheffield United and it remains to be seen which way this evening’s game will go. Heckingbottom’s side defeated Hull City in their previous game 2-0 and next will lock horns with Martin’s Swansea City side, who are currently in the bottom half of the table. Sheffield United are undefeated in their last seven Championship games and currently sit top of the table.

Rhian Brewster, Sander Berge, Oli McBurnie and Rhys Norrington-Davies all had good openings for the visitors while Joel Piroe had several chances to bulge the ...

And they created a fine chance to break the deadlock inside two minutes as Berge crossed to former Swansea academy product Norrington-Davies whose header was saved by Steven Benda. Despite the quality in Sheffield United's ranks, Swansea were clearly intent on extending their record of not losing a home league fixture against the south Yorkshire side since 1958. It sparked a flurry of activity at both ends, with Berge firing Norrington-Davies' cross over from close range before Swansea botched a one-on-one situation. Martin responded by sending on Ntcham and Paterson for Cooper and Fulton while Fin Stevens replaced Sorinola soon after. Fulton then drilled well wide after another slick move as the hosts showed they could compete against the league leaders. Olivier Ntcham returned to the matchday squad in place of the injured Liam Cullen, although striker Michael Obafemi remained absent. Foderingham makes a hash of a clearance, it falls to Cooper who squares to Piroe instead of shooting, and the Dutchman's effort is blocked.

Foderingham made a hash of a clearance after being put under pressure by Cooper, and the academy product squared to Piroe instead of shooting himself as the Dutchman was challenged. And just as the points looked destined to be shared, Brewster squared to substitute Khadra who lashed home at the death to earn the visitors a dramatic win. Reda Khadra fired home from a counter attack in the final minute of injury-time as Sheffield United snatched a late victory at Swansea City.

The Blades continued their impressive form with a 1-0 win win at the Swansea.com Stadium.

United win a corner and a chance to get the ball into the Swansea box A bit of ping pong in the Blades area and the ball falls to Matty Sorinola at the far post but RND does enough to put him off his shot and he slices his effort wide Norwood releasing RND down the left and his cross was looking for Baldock but was cleared to the edge of the area where Ahmedhodzic was waiting but he lashed it over
