Manchester United Preview – Can United move top at City’s expense?
It’s been a long work in progress but finally Manchester United seem to have returned to their former status as serious title contenders in the Premier League under manager, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, as the Red Devils bring an impressive 13-match unbeaten record into this clash against basement dwellers, Sheffield United.
United have quietly but methodically gone about their business and have collected 10 wins from these 13 matches which has helped them up into 2nd spot in the Premier League and just a point behind their noisy neighbours, Manchester City.
Some question marks still remain over United’s consistency at Old Trafford but United have won their last three home matches on the trot with victories against Leeds United, Wolves and Aston Villa, scoring nine goals and conceding just three in reply, so they look in good shape to add to their points tally on Wednesday night.
Sheffield United Preview – Can Blades pull off upset?
The chances of this happening at Old Trafford seem highly remote as Sheffield United reverted to type last time out in the Premier League, losing 3-1 at home to Tottenham as The Blades slumped to a 16th loss in 19 matches overall this season.
With just one win under their belts so far this season amidst a total points tally of just five, Sheffield United are in danger of emulating Derby County for the lowest points tally in a Premier League season and with a woeful away record of 0-1-8 4/17 so far on their travels, The Blades look to have their work cut out here.
Overall, Sheffield United have failed to win any of their last 15 matches on the road, losing 12 of these while also failing to score in 11 of these 15 away matches too, so they could be fearing the worst at Old Trafford.
