Sheffield United - Manchester United: A Low Scoring Affair

Sheffield United will host Manchester United at Bramall Lane on Sunday evening.

Sheffield United and Manchester United are two of the most solid sides in the Premier League so far this season, and both sides probably want to safeguard 1 point over gambling for 3 points here.
I think Chris Wilder and his South Yorkshire gang will look to continue the surprisingly sturdy return to the Premier League. And Ole Gunnar Solskjær's priority will most likely be to halt Manchester United's embarrassing run of away games that include losses to West Ham, Newcastle and Bournemouth.

Sheffield United

The Blades exceed all expectations so far and find themselves in 5:th place with 17 points from 12 games.

The Red Devils are experiencing somewhat of a hit-or-miss season so far, mixing some strong results with vile performances. Overall, 7:th place with 16 points from 12 games is acceptable.
