Manchester United have been on the ball lately and now it is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team that looks like one of Liverpool’s rivals in the fight for Premier League gold. Manchester United are unbeaten in eight straight Premier League games, six of which the Red Devils have won. This helped Solskjaer’s wards rise from 15th to fourth with one more match in reserve. If Manchester United wins that fight, it will be just two points behind Liverpool. In the previous five Premier League games Manchester United have earned 11 points. The Red Devils beat West Ham (3:1), Sheffield United (3:2) and defeated Leeds (6:2). Manchester United played in a draw with Manchester City (0:0) and Leicester (2:2). It is worth noting that Solskjaer’s team improved their home statistics by defeating Leeds. In the previous nine Premier League games at Old Trafford, Manchester United have won only twice. This season, Manchester United lost at home to Crystal Palace (1:3), Tottenham (1:6) and Arsenal (0:1), drew with Chelsea (0:0) and Manchester City (0:0) and won against West Bromwich (1:0) and Leeds (6:2). Only Marcos Rojo is injured at Manchester United. The participation in the upcoming meeting of Daniel James, Aaron Wan-Bissaki, Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford is in question.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the upcoming match for Sheffield United. “Burnley” is one of the competitors of the “blades” in the struggle for registration and it is located just above the departure zone, where, in fact, guests should strive. Although results of Chris Wilder’s team suggest that they are the main contender for demotion. It is not clear what else keeps the club bosses from castling on the coaching bridge. Sheffield United are the only Premier League team that has yet to win a championship. For 15 rounds the “blades” have earned only two points. One of them happened in the previous away meeting with Brighton, which ended in a 1:1 draw. Moreover, Sheffield United missed the victory just a couple of minutes before the final whistle. A draw with Brighton interrupted the six-match away streak of defeats for Chris Wilder’s charges. Sheffield United managed to concede less than two goals during only one of the matches. The personnel losses are as follows. Sander Berge, Jack O’Connell and Keane Brian are in the club’s infirmary. John Lundstram is serving a suspension.
