Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd LIVE: Premier League 2019/20 commentary live stream, latest score, TV

Welcome to the Evening Standard's Premier League match coverage of Sheffield United vs Manchester United LIVE at Bramall Lane.

The mid-table Red Devils travel to Yorkshire searching for a third consecutive win across all competitions after comfortable victories over Partizan Belgrade and Brighton before the international break.

However, those triumphs came after a narrow loss at Bournemouth and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have picked up just five points from six top-flight away games so far this season.

They now face an in-form Sheffield United team that are faring brilliantly since ending a 12-year absence from the Premier League, sitting above their opponents in eighth after a five-match unbeaten run.

We have James Robson at Bramall Lane today for expert analysis in our LIVE match blog.

Prediction

Sheff Utd 1-2 Man Utd

Solskjaer's side have seen an upturn in away results over the last month, but a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth shows there are still serious problems on the road.

United have collected just five points from six away games - the ninth-worst tally in the top-flight - and given the Blades' form and tight defence, expect a close affair.

However, with Marcus Rashford in red-hot form over the international break, the visitors could take a win on the counter.
