Olivier Ntcham returned to the matchday squad in place of the injured Liam Cullen, although striker Michael Obafemi remained absent.The Blades came into the match at the summit of the Championship table having gone seven games unbeaten in the league since losing at Watford on the opening day.

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.Paul Heckingbottom's men looked more than comfortable whether going direct or playing on the deck, and it was another ex-Swansea man in McBurnie who had the opportunity to score early on, although he failed to turn George Baldock's cross on target.Tommy Doyle then tested Benda as the visitors continued to threaten, although the Swans fully clicked into gear on 15 minutes to create their best opening.
