Latest PostA Heck of a start
FT: Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City
That's as far as we go here today as Paul Heckingbottom celebrates victory in his first game in charge of Sheffield United.
The former Blades caretaker took over from Slavisa Jokanovic on Thursday and his side were good money for their win at a snowy Bramall Lane today.
Bristol City stayed in the game but were second-best for much of the contest and saw defender Nathan Baker stretchered off in a neck brace after a bad clash of heads.
We'll be back at 19:30 GMT on Monday for Derby v QPR.
Thanks for your company today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Derby v QPR (Mon, 19:45 GMT)
Matchday 20 in the Championship still has one game to come...
Tomorrow night bottom side Derby welcome in-form QPR to Pride Park as Wayne Rooney's administration-hit Rams seek to extend their own three-game unbeaten run.
They're back up to positive points after being deducted a total of 21 and it's going to take something incredible for them to stay up now but they've certainly not thrown the towel in, having taken four points from their past two games against the league's top two sides, Bournemouth and Fulham.
We'll of course have live text coverage of that one from 19:30 GMT.
FULL-TIME
Sheff Utd 2-0 Bristol City
One game, one win for Paul Heckingbottom at Sheffield United.
Rhian Brewster gave them a half-time lead before Billy Sharp, on for Brewster, made it 2-0 late on.
We had 13 minutes of time added on at the end after Bristol City defender Nathan Baker suffered a serious looking head injury at the start of the second half and had lengthy treatment on the pitch before being stretchered off in a neck brace.
We wish him all the very best.

Looks like Sheffield United will be taking the points today.
It could have all be so different if home goalkeeper Wes Foderingham hadn't denied Chris Martin when the score was still 0-0.
Fair play to both teams for making this a decent game in what have been very trying conditions.

Bristol City forward Andi Weimann is booked for a poor attempted tackle.

This is like a different match now!
Bristol City escape down their left and Nahki Wells is in but his low cross can't find a team-mate.
