Our Preview

De Gea, Bailly and Fernandes are all expected to return to United's starting eleven after being left out of the start on Sunday.

Sheffield United could be without as many as nine first team players.

MUFC have not lost in the league since Arsenal won at Old Trafford at the start of November, and little from Sheffield United suggests they are capable of ending that run.

That's a fact

United can equal their longest unbeaten league run under Solskjaer, which was their final fourteen games of last season.

Excluding Man United's 6-2 victory against Leeds, MUFC have only scored six goals in their other eight league matches at Old Trafford this season.

Sheffield United are only the second side to lose as many as 16 of their opening 19 top-flight fixtures in a season. It also happened to Bolton Wanderers way back in the 1902/1903 season.

What happened last time?

Just before Christmas, Man United won an exciting game 3-2.
