All seems to be going well for Manchester United now after a slow start to the season and the team will be hoping the good streak continues when they get to host Sheffield United in the next game. Manchester United are top of the league table with 40 points while Sheffield United are bottom with five points. A 35-point gap between these two sides suggests their strength and form this season. United will be buoyed by their impressive comeback to beat Liverpool 3-2 in the FA Cup on Sunday. It was their fifth unbeaten outing, with four wins therein and they have failed to score in one. It is in the Premier League though that United have set a fine run – they are unbeaten in 13 with 10 wins in the league. At home, they have four wins in the last five league matches, with three clean sheets. While earlier the team was keen on defending and just breaking on the counter, the strategy has changed a bit and the team is more confident in attack. They have scored two or more in the last two matches but they have also conceded, having kept clan sheets in the earlier three. As a result. The last two matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored, a change from the earlier four matches.

Sheffield United also registered a win in the FA Cup, beating Plymouth 2-1 in the fourth round. The team had a very poor first leg but seems to have turned the corner, if recent results are anything to go by. Sheffield have won three of their last four matches, in what is their best run in the current campaign. They however still have defensive challenges, with just one clean sheet in the last five matches. A genuine effort to try and win matches is now visible from Sheffield and at some point has left the team exposed. They have scored in each of their last four matches, pushing three of the last four matches to over 2.5 goals. However, they have conceded two or more goals in three of the last five matches. After three straight home matches, which came with two wins, it is now time to try get three points away from home. Sheffield are winless in 15 straight away league matches.
