Manchester United Form

Manchester United sit two points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand against rivals Man City. They have won their last three home matches in the EPL.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side won 1-0 at Burnley thanks to a Paul Pogba strike. They then took on Liverpool at Anfield and came away with a credible 0-0 draw.

Manchester United returned to the Premier League with a 2-1 win at Fulham. They fell behind in the 5th minute but struck back with goals to Edinson Cavani and Pogba.

Man United’s last match was a 3-2 home win against Liverpool in the FA Cup. Mason Greenwood equalised, Marcus Rashford put them 2-1 up and Bruno Fernandes scored the winner from a free kick in the 78th minute.

Manchester United Team News

Manchester United centre backs Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones remain injured alongside left back Brandon Williams.

Marcus Rashford limped off late in the FA Cup with Anthony Martial set to replace him here.

Expect left back Alex Telles, centre back Eric Bailly, midfielder Fred and attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes to return to the starting side here as Solskjaer rotates.

Sheffield United Form

Sheffield United are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League after one win in 19 matches. That came on 12 January in a 1-0 home win against Newcastle after playing against 10 men in the second half.

The Blades followed up the Newcastle victory with a 3-1 home defeat to Tottenham. They competed well but David McGoldrick’s strike wasn’t enough against Spurs.

Sheffield United’s last match was a 1-0 home win against Plymouth in the FA Cup. They went 2-0 up through Chris Basham and Billy Sharp and held on to advance.
