Sheffield United vs Manchester United prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out?

Manchester United face a stern test when they travel to Bramall Lane to take on Chris Wilder’s in-form Sheffield United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s went into the international break with a morale-boosting victory against Brighton and could move up to fifth in the Premier League if they are victorious this afternoon.

Sheffield United have been one of the league’s surprise packages this season, defeating Arsenal and holding Chelsea and Tottenham, and they go into today’s fixture sitting in eighth.

They will however be without their goalkeeper Dean Henderson whose loan agreement means he’s not able to play against his parent club.

Here is everything you need to know about the game:
