Sheffield United vs Man Utd, Thursday 8pm
It’s been a miserable campaign for Chris Wilder and Co.
The Blades are suffering from a huge bout of second-season syndrome, sitting bottom of the table with one point from a possible 36.
Man Utd meanwhile arrive in South Yorkshire on the back of a morale-boosting performance in the Manchester derby.
So they didn’t get all three points, but a 0-0 draw with Pep Guardiola’s City side was welcome after crashing out of the Champions League.
In the reverse fixture last season, these sides played out a terrific 3-3 draw which saw United battle back from two-down.
The last time Sheffield United scored three was back in July, when they dispatched Chelsea 3-0 on home soil.
That seems a long time ago now.
Wilder’s side are winless all season and currently on a run of seven-straight defeats.

No wonder then they are 6/1 for the victory – but even that seems a little short considering their wretched form.
Man Utd have scored three or more in EVERY one of their Premier League away matches this season.
They’ve won all of those games and goals is the way to play here.
A United away victory is just a tiny 4/9 and we’d leave that win only market alone, simply because there’s more value elsewhere.
Ole’s men are a perfect five from five on the road, the best away team in the league – but they have conceded in each of those victories.
Back them to win this at Bramall Lane, but also to concede at a huge 12/5.
Both teams to score is also evens, which is too tempting despite the Blades’ blunt forward line this term.
They found a way to score against Leicester last time out here and at that price, we’re happy to back them to do so again.
Bruno Fernandes continues to thrill as United’s midfield magician and tops the scoring ranks with seven in the league so far.
He takes the set pieces and has the eye for goal you want when trusting a player with your hard-earned.
At 6/5, the Portuguese star can come through for us again.
