It's all Sheffield United in the closing moments.
They're piling forward but Brighton have everyone back.
Will there be late drama?

Three minutes of added time.

Huge save by Mat Ryan to keep out Oli McBurnie before John Fleck's goalbound header is just about cleared.
Sheffield United are banging on the door in the closing stages.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
John Lundstram flies into a challenge with Lewis Dunk.
There's a VAR check to see if that was a red card challenge but Lundstram stays on the pitch.
It's fair to say Dunk is unimpressed with the decision.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
Big chance for the Blades but Oli McBurnie can't finish.
The ball comes to him at a tremendous rate of knots but he puts it wide when he should have done better.
That could be huge.
SUBSTITUTION
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
The Blades are trying to turn up the tempo as the clock ticks down.
John Lundstram, who came off the bench to score the late winner in the last game, is coming on for recent signing Sander Berge.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
Billy Sharp makes way for McGoldrick while Brighton makes a double change - Aaron Connolly on for Glenn Murray and Leandro Trossard on for Ezequiel Schelotto.

David McGoldrick is getting ready to come on for Sheffield United.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
This game is wide open.
Both teams are showing real attacking intent as we enter the final quarter.
Are we in for a grandstand finish?
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
Ezequiel Schelotto is convinced Brighton should have a penalty as Yves Bissouma's ball brushes the arm of Ben Osborn.
Nothing is given. This is bubbling nicely.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
Chances at both ends as Neal Maupay crafts something from nothing with a ridiculous attempt that brushes the roof of the net.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
John Fleck lets fly from 25-yards in front of the Kop. That was agonisingly close. The hosts are building up a head of steam.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
Sheffield United win two corners in quick succession - the second one by Oliver Norwood sparking an almighty scramble but Oli McBurnie cannot prod it over the line.
Better by the hosts!
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
It's been pretty much all Brighton this half.
They're probing in and around the penalty area, asking questions of the Blades' defence.
Encouraging signs for Graham Potter's side.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
The Blades are lucky to be on level terms.
Dunk should have buried that! Chris Wilder's side are yet to get into any decent rhythm since losing Edna Stevens to injury.
Post update
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
MASSIVE chance for Brighton.
They win a rare corner and it's headed down into the path of Lewis Dunk but captain can't keep his shot down.
That's on its way to Barnsley!
SUBSTITUTION
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
Blow for Sheffield United as scorer Enda Stevens fails to appear for the start of the second half. Apparently he has picked up a calf injury. In his place is Ben Osborn who is yet to start a league game this season.
KICK-OFF
Sheff Utd 1-1 Brighton
The Blades get us back under way.
HALF-TIME
