Manchester United host Sheffield United in a key battle in the race for the top four on Wednesday.
The Blades suffered a major setback in their bid to close the gap on fourth place Chelsea on Sunday, conceding three times to Newcastle on a disappointing afternoon at St James’ Park.
United meanwhile remain five points behind the Blues after their draw at Tottenham last week.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side will hope to stay hot on their heels - and will be hoping for a favour from neighbours Manchester City who head to the capital to take on Frank Lampard's side on Thursday.

Manchester United vs Sheffield United is scheduled for a 6pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, June 24, 2020.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Sheffield United
Despite those early errors from David de Gea and Harry Maguire, United looked the more dangerous of the two sides when they met Tottenham - no more so than when Paul Pogba was introduced.
The Blades will be without two key players in Henderson and Egan - surely a boost for United.
