THE TEAM NEWS
SHEFFIELD UTD
Chris Basham suffered a horrific ankle injury in the defeat to Fulham before the international break and will face a significant spell on the sidelines, while John Egan and Tom Davies have also joined him on the sidelines.
Ben Osborn and George Baldock have some chance of inclusion, with places on the bench seeming most likely.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Foderingham; Robinson, Ahmedhodzic, Trusty; Bogle, Souza, Norwood, Hamer, Thomas; McBurnie, Archer
UNAVAILABLE: Basham (Injured), Egan (Injured), Lowe (Injured), Norrington-Davies (Injured), Davies (Injured), Jebbison (Illness)
QUESTIONABLE: Osborn (Injured), Baldock (Injured), Osula (Injured)
MAN UTD
Raphael Varane and Sergio Reguilon have recovered from their respective injuries and could come back into the side here, but Casemiro will miss out after a knock sustained on international duty.
Sofyan Amrabat is likely to recover from a recent issue, but Jadon Sancho is still not being considered for selection.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Reguilon; McTominay, Amrabat; Fernandes, Mount, Rashford; Hojlund
UNAVAILABLE: Martinez (Injured), Malacia (Injured), Shaw (Injured), Wan-Bissaka (Injured), Mainoo (Injured), Casemiro (Injured), Diallo (Injured), Sancho (Disciplinary)
QUESTIONABLE: Amrabat (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Had Scott McTominay not made himself an unlikely hero in Man Utd's dramatic win over Brentford before the international break, then the feeling around the club would be far more negative than it is currently. There still remain plenty of concerns on and off the field, but this is a fixture they should be winning comfortably regardless. Bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Utd have struggled so far this season, and they are unlikely to get anything out of this encounter against an admittedly underperforming Red Devils outfit. Rasmus Hojlund has shown flashes of his talent in a Man Utd shirt so far, particularly in the Champions League, and this could well be the fixture that he gets off the mark in the Premier League.
TIP: RASMUS HOJLUND TO SCORE ANYTIME
