SHEFFIELD UTD VS MANCHESTER UTD MATCH ANALYSIS
The Blades have had a nightmarish start as they continue their twelve-game winless streak. After getting their only point in the league so far against Fulham at home (1-1) in the 5th week, they continued the terrible run in the next seven matches. After losing to Southampton last weekend (3-0), they are rooted to the bottom of the table with a solitary point, being the only top-flight side without a league win so far. As for Man Utd, after a draw in the Manchester derby (0-0), the Red Devils have fallen to 8th in the standings with 20 points from their respective fixtures, albeit with a game in hand.
Sheffield Utd have had the worst start in the league under Chris Wilder. They picked up seventeen points from their opening twelve games last season and they have already shipped twice as many goals in 2020-21 as they had at this stage last year, scoring only five times. It means that no side has scored fewer than them so far. It will be impossible to repeat the last year's campaign and more realistically, the number one objective for 2020/21 will be to ensure they stay up.
As for their game at Southampton, it is only fair to say that no team in the Premier League era has had so few points at this stage of the season and gone on to avoid relegation. Che Adams got the opener, Armstrong scored a deflected second, and substitute Redmond added the third. Sheffield’s winless run, going back to the end of last season, now stands at 15 games. Fourteen of those have been defeats.
Man Utd, on the other hand, have problems of their own. The incredible away results have been keeping them within reach of the top of the Premier League table, but going out of the Champions League could dent their confidence even more and heap an extra bit of pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. After their defeat against Leipzig in the CL, they picked themselves up enough to hold Man City to a goalless draw at Old Trafford. However, this is a must win for Ole and his Red Devils.
In a game devoid of quality and excitement, neither side was able to carve out the opportunity that could make a difference in a dismal stalemate at Old Trafford. United needed some sort of response after their CL exit, and not losing to City could give a reason to celebrate. However, taking into account the last few Manchester derbies where United were superior, their Saturday performance can indeed be deemed cowardly.

Since winning their first-ever Premier League match against Man Utd on the opening day of the competition in 1992, Sheffield are winless in their last seven against the Red Devils (D1 L6). Also, Man Utd haven’t failed to score in any of their last 22 meetings with Sheffield United in all competitions.
The Blades have lost six of their last seven home league games, as many as in their previous 30 at Bramall Lane (W20 D4 L6). Having in mind that they are one of only four teams in the history of English football to have one point or fewer after 12 league games of a season, Man Utd’s win should not be questioned at all if Solskjarer really wants to survive the December in Man Utd's dugout.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
