An early Che Adams goal has given Sheffield United the lead over Chesterfield at Bramall Lane.
Adams gave the Blades the lead after just three minutes, firing in a rebound after Chesterfield keeper Tommy Lee parried a Conor Sammon effort.
Billy Sharp shot just wide on the eighth minute as the Blades looked to increase their lead.
A 31st-minute effort from Chesterfield captain Sam Morsy was kept out by United keeper Mark Howard, who made another save from debutant Lee Novak before the end of the half.
