THE Premier League is back after the international break.
Following Jose Mourinho’s winning return to the English top-flight and management, attentions turned to Arsenal’s under-pressure boss Unai Emery – and it did not end well.
The Gunners suffered a shock loss to Southampton with more criticism set to be aimed at the Spaniard.
Man City came from behind to beat Chelsea in the Saturday night clash, with Sunday’s headline fixture seeing Man Utd travel to Sheffield United – and you can get all the tips as proper football returns with a bang.
Sheff Utd vs Man Utd – Sunday, 4.30pm
THE Chris Wilder revolution continues at Bramall Lane.
It’s been some return to the big-time for the Blades, who occupy a European spot as they welcome Man Utd to South Yorkshire.
Wilder has built this team from the ground up to be hard-working, disciplined and above all, effective.
So basically everything that this current Man Utd team aren’t.
There are signs that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s side are turning a little corner, with five wins from their last six matches.
But that non-performance at Bournemouth – which saw them fall to a dismal 1-0 defeat – still rings the alarm bells if you’re thinking of having a play on the away win.
Away from Old Trafford this season, United have taken just FIVE points a possible 18.
And you only have to look at their dreadful return of five goals from those games to see why.
The Blades have carved out three vital home victories already, all of them to nil over Burnley, Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
They’re strong in defence and clinical when they get their chances – this is another big test for the Red Devils on the road.
It says a lot that Man Utd are 6/5 to beat a newly-promoted side. How the mighty have fallen.
That’s a big price and we’ve absolutely no problem with you backing that – 22 back from a tenner on a Man Utd victory is well worth a go.
But we reckon the safer play is the 6/10 on under 2.5 goals.
Out of their combined 24 games in this season’s Premier League, these two teams have only played in seven matches which have featured three or more goals.
Wilder will have his side well drilled defensively and if they’re to spring another shock – if we can even call it that – they’re likely to take it 1-0 or hold Ole’s men to yet another 1-1.
John Lundstram is the heartbeat of this side and is a massive 5/1 to net anytime. Not first, at ANY time. Lump on.
He bagged two here against Burnley and you should be all over that for a Sunday afternoon money maker.
SunSport’s best bets
