Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Sheffield United host Manchester United in Saturday evening's late kick-off
- Blades have started their return to the top flight poorly and are without a win
- Man Utd sit tenth after dramatic late win against Brentford last time out
By Euan Burns
Two teams in serious need of points face off at Bramall Lane when Sheffield United host Manchester United on Saturday night.
The Blades have just one point from eight games so far and lost their fourth match in a row before the international break, this time away at Fulham. The Premier League's bottom side are in desperate need of a big performance and result against a talented but underachieving Man Utd team.
Erik ten Hag's side got a morale-boosting late win against Brentford before the international break and will be looking to build on that. The visitors are favourites here but there are no foregone conclusions in the Premier League.
Here's 90min's preview of the game on Saturday night.

Sheffield United vs Manchester United score prediction
The air around Manchester United may be extremely negative right now and there may still be a number of serious injuries for Ten Hag to deal with, but Sheffield United have had a truly appalling start to their Premier League campaign.
It will need to be a pragmatic performance from Man Utd and while points are the most important thing, they will want to win without needing a dramatic comeback like they did against Brentford. It is impossible to back this Sheffield United team right now, but don't expect Man Utd to walk all over them.
Prediction: Sheffield United 1-2 Manchester United
