2019/20 Premier League
Round 13
23-25 November 2019
Sheffield United will look to continue their excellent start to the
Premier League season when they host Manchester United at Bramall Lane on Sunday 24 November 2019, kick-off at 18:30 CAT.
Sheffield have been the surprise package of the Premier League thus far and put in another excellent performance before the international break when they held Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 away from home. The result took the Blades up to fifth place on the table.
“We haven't all hit the highs as early as we'd like to, but we've come late and we're hungry. I think that shows in our performance,” said Sheffield player George Baldock, who scored against Spurs. “We've all got that fight and desire to improve and I think that's shown in these opening 12 games.”

Man United have been wildly inconsistent thus far in 2019/20, though they did put in a strong showing in their last match, defeating Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 at Old Trafford to move into seventh place, one point behind Sheffield.
"I think it was our best performance of the season. How that didn't end up five, six, seven, we don't know, the players don't know," said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
"It was exhilarating, entertaining and great to see that they enjoyed themselves. Since the last international break we have had five wins and we've had a lot of answers to what we're trying to do. If they don't get confidence from this, I don't know what to tell them."
In head-to-head stats, Sheffield and Man United have met in 81 previous matches. The Red Devils have claimed 39 wins compared to 29 for the Blades, while 13 games have been drawn.
The teams last met in the Premier League in the 2006/07 season, with Man United completing a league ‘double’: they won 2-1 at Bramall Lane and 2-0 at Old Trafford. The Blades’ last win in this rivalry was way back in August 1992.
