Game Preview
Manchester United are riding a six-game undefeated streak in the Premier League (W3, D3) and are just five points away from fourth place entering this round of fixtures in the EPL. The Red Devils are favorites ahead of this contest due to their form and the fact they have conceded just 0.8 goals per match at Old Trafford this season. Sheffield, on the other hand, are coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss at Newcastle United last weekend and sit in seventh place, just two points away from Man United. One thing to note is Sheffield United's impressive away record this season – W4, D8, L3. Only Liverpool have lost fewer games than the Blades in 2019-20. Would that be enough to pull the upset against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men?

Top Picks
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United: The Portuguese play-maker found the back of the net last week against Tottenham and has now bagged goals in three of his last four Premier League matches. He is a threat every time he steps out on the pitch, and he could take advantage of a depleted Sheffield defensive line.
Marcus Rashford, Manchester United: The England international looked active against Tottenham but couldn't find the back of the net; that might change against the Blades. Rashford already scored in the previous meeting between both sides and also has four goals in his last five Premier League matches.
