Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd: Prediction, team news, TV live stream, H2H, odds - Premier League 2019/20 preview

Manchester United face a tricky trip to Sheffield United after the international break in what could prove to be another big Premier League upset... though not if you look at the table.

Few would have expected Solskjaer's side to be looking up at the Blades at this point of the season, but the Red Devils trail their hosts by a point after 12 games.

Chris Wilder's side boast the second-best defence in the top flight with just nine goals conceded, but Man Utd are finding their groove with the return of Anthony Martial and will put the Blades to the test.

Solskjaer's men also have a point to prove away from home, and matches such as these will likely determine whether they are playing Champions League football next season.

Premier League preview

Sheffield United vs Manchester United
Venue:
Bramall Lane
Kick-off time: 4:30pm GMT, Sunday November 24

Prediction

Sheff Utd 1-1 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 that is likely to end in the points being shared. However, with Marcus Rashford in red-hot form over the international break, the visitors could take a win on the counter.

Team news (after the international break)

The only selection problem for the Blades is Dean Henderson, with the goalkeeper unable to face his parent club.

As for the Red Devils, Solskjaer has issues all over the pitch - though, mercifully, United suffered no more injuries over the international break.

Nemanja Matic is also still out, though Paul Pogba is on the comeback trail after having the cast on his ankle removed - though Solskjaer may not want to rush him back given that a quick return from injury played a part last time around.

In defence, Luke Shaw Diogo Dalot and Axel Tuanzebe will be hoping to return from injury, while Ashley Young will be back after serving a one-match suspension.

Angel Gomes is still out along with Eric Bailly, but Timothy Fosu-Mensah is back in individual training.
