Storylines

Manchester United: That draw at Tottenham was important because it was good point on the road, but more importantly is we got to see how this team looks when both Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba play in the middle. Expect them both to start here as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks for the attacking creativity to increase dramatically. While United had 13 shots and six on frame, they didn't have a lot of great chances and needed a penalty to get a point.

Sheffield United: Has Sheffield hit a wall? A solid defense has led the way, but a poor attack is starting to cause serious problems when it comes to potential European qualification. The club hasn't scored a goal in either of its first two games post break (though they should have scored at Aston Villa). The 3-0 loss to Sheffield United on Sunday was alarming and filled with mistakes, and they have to clean that up here to get a result. Make no mistake -- Sheffield has enough to go to Manchester United to win. They just have to be a whole lot sharper than they have in the last two games.
