Team news, key stats and prediction ahead of Sheffield United vs Manchester United in the Premier League.
On-loan Sheffield United goalkeeper Dean Henderson will miss out against his parent club Manchester United.
The 22-year-old is on loan at Bramall Lane from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side and the terms of the agreement do not allow him to play so Simon Moore is in line for a Premier League debut.
John Egan is a doubt after the defender suffered a clash of heads with Andreas Cornelius during the Republic of Ireland's 1-1 draw with Denmark on Monday.
Axel Tuanzebe, Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic are available again for Manchester United, though boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted all three need to build up their match fitness.
Marcos Rojo has joined Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba in the treatment room, while Diogo Dalot, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly remain a way off.
Pogba is stepping up his recovery from an ankle injury and Solskjaer remains hopeful the Frenchman will return before the year is out.
"He's out of a cast... he was in a cast for about for six or seven weeks - you do lose loads of muscle, so he's gradually now just stepping up, walking on the treadmill, biking with a free ankle. It'll still be a few weeks. We hope to see him in 2019, yeah."
Sheffield United vs Manchester United is live on Renault Super Sunday from 4pm; kick-off 4.30pm. Sky Sports customers can watch in-game clips in the live match blog on the Sky Sports website and app.
Highlights will also be published on the Sky Sports digital platforms and the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel shortly after the final whistle.
Sheffield United are fifth and Manchester United sit in seventh. Who has more energy? Sheffield United. Who has more passion? Sheffield United. Manchester United have the better players but only when they play well.
I have been impressed with Sheffield United more recently as they have been scoring goals. They will be right in the face of Man United from the get-go so if they are good enough, they will need to show it and be together as a team.
I do feel that Man United will be vulnerable to this energy level as they can become moody, but they will get something from it nevertheless.
Chris Wilder will have a feeling about what his side can achieve realistically, but if you said to him that from the first 12 games, your away record would be fabulous, they would have beaten Arsenal and drawn with Manchester United at home, he would have snapped your hand off. They probably expect to beat Man United at the moment, but I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will be ready for it.
It will be another feisty game. Sheffield United will go after and squeeze Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial as much as they can.
The back three are very good at what they do but John Egan has been one of the players of the season. The others have been great but he is calm, aggressive when he needs to be and gets his team-mates into position - they are well-organised and drilled. For that reason, I think they will get a draw.
CHARLIE PREDICTS: 1-1 (5/1 with Sky Bet)
