Manchester United - WDLDDD
Jonny Evans (Muscle injury), Raphaël Varane (Muscle injury), Tyrell Malacia (Knee injury), Luke Shaw (Muscle injury), Victor Lindelöf (Hamstring injury) and Lisandro Martínez (Calf strain) aren’t available for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
We are thinking that The Red Devils could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match and select Andre Onana, Diogo Dalot, Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Kobbie Mainoo, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hoejlund.
Manchester United go into this game coming off the back of a 3-3 FA Cup drawn game vs Coventry City.
In that match, Manchester United managed 58% possession and 28 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. For Manchester United, the goalscorers were Scott McTominay (23'), Harry Maguire (45') and Bruno Fernandes (58'). For their opponents, Coventry City got 19 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Ellis Simms (71'), Callum O'Hare (79') and Haji Wright (90') scored for Coventry City. The match went to penalties and was won 4-2 by Manchester United.
Three or more goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Manchester United have played. Their opponents scored 13 times in these games while Manchester United amassed a tally of 15. We shall soon see if that trend can be sustained here.
Ahead of this clash, Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 2 home league matches.
Sheffield United - DDLDLL
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Chris Basham (Leg injury) and John Egan (Foot injury) won’t be making appearances.
There’s a good chance that The Blades appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 formation, starting Ivo Grbic, Jayden Bogle, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Auston Trusty, Ben Osborn, V. de Souza, Ollie Arblaster, Gustavo Hamer, James McAtee, Oliver McBurnie and Ben Brereton Diaz.
Since a losing effort in their last game against Burnley in Premier League competition, Sheffield United will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Sheffield United managed 49% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 11 of them on target. The only player to score for Sheffield United was Gustavo Hamer (52'). Burnley had 16 attempts at goal with 9 on target. Jacob Bruun Larsen (38'), Lorenz Assignon (40'), Lyle Foster (58') and Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson (71') scored for Burnley.
Demonstrating their bias toward eventful matches, goals have been scored 25 times in the previous six matches in which Sheffield United have taken to the field, giving an average of 4.17 goals each clash. Opposition teams have hit 16 of this grand total.
Coming into this contest, Sheffield United haven’t won away from home in the past 4 matches in the league.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Casemiro, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka; Mainoo, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Sheffield United
Taken to penalties at Wembley and being carved open at will by almost every team to pit their wits against them, Man United should not be expected to blow their lowly foes to smithereens here, even if Wednesday's tie is a mismatch on paper. A clash between two sides with an affinity for conceding should see goals at both ends, even if weary legs come into play, but while it is unlikely to be pretty, a decimated Man United should prevail thanks to their superior attacking depth.
