Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp on Sky Sports:
"I thought we were the better team throughout the game. We got the penalty, a great chance, but after that, we just couldn't break them down.

YELLOW CARD
Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Wednesday have had easily their best moments coming forward in this closing quarter of the game but the telling ball from a set piece just hasn't been there.
But, they're inching closer to coming away with a hard-fought point here.

Can Wednesday hold on?
Some very brave stretching tackles at the back as they snuff out any chance Sheffield United have on the break. Barry Bannan has been running like a terrier in midfield for the visitors.
Last five minutes on the way.
PENALTY APPEAL
Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Half a penalty appeal by Wednesday as the ball smashes into Chris Basham on the edge of the box. Ball to hand if ever I've seen it.
Into the last 10 minutes and still Wednesday hold on at 0-0.
Post update
Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Leon Clarke nearly plays a pivotal role immediately after coming on but United's attempts to weave their way between Wednesday's defence are snaffled out.
Wednesday counter and nearly profit with a chance for Ashley Baker, but it's just out of his reach as a cross is headed behind by United for a corner.
The Owls can't make anything of that though. First chance for Wednesday off the bench as Marco Matias replaces Matthew Penney.
SUBSTITUTION

John Egan nearly gets the telling touch at the near post on a Sheffield United corner.
Not enough though to muscle it towards goal and once more, Wednesday get it clear.

A rare corner to Sheffield Wednesday as Steven Fletcher makes a nuisance of himself in the United area.
But nothing comes from that set piece for the Owls and Blades can break away again in search of that elusive opener.
YELLOW CARD
Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Have to say this is disciplined defending from Wednesday but how long can it continue?
Barry Bannan is in the book though for a rash challenge on Enda Stevens which Andy Madley says was one too many for him to let go unpunished.
Post update
Sheffield United 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Former Blades Harry Maguire, Kyle Walker and Phil Jagielka all spotted in the Bramall Lane crowd by the television cameras.
All products of the Sheffield United academy, I wonder what they're making of their old club's chances in this one.
Again more stand-off stuff from Wednesday continues.
Post update

Cagey stuff for the first real time in this match as both sides actually cancel themselves out.
Still Wednesday having to do most of the work off the ball though with very little outlet coming forward when they do get a rare spell on it.
