Sky Sports pundit makes result prediction for Sunday's huge Sheffield United v Manchester United clash

Sheffield United have enjoyed a dream start to life in the Premier League and sit in 5th place ahead of the weekend action.

The Blades have remained unbeaten away from home this season, and are without a doubt the story of the season so far.

Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas runs a weekly prediction column, and has backed the Blades to lose on a number of occasions this season.

Is he now finally convinced by the Blades?

Check out his verdict on what will happen in the big game below:

“Sheffield United are fifth and Manchester United sit in seventh. Who has more energy? Sheffield United. Who has more passion? Sheffield United. Manchester United have the better players but only when they play well. I have been impressed with Sheffield United more recently as they have been scoring goals. They will be right in the face of Man Utd from the get-go so if they are good enough, they will need to show it and be together as a team.

“I do feel that Man Utd will be vulnerable to this energy level as they can become moody, but they will get something from it nevertheless. Chris Wilder will have a feeling about what his side can achieve realistically, but if you said to him that from the first 12 games, your away record would be fabulous, you would beat Arsenal at home, he would have snapped your hand off. They probably expect to beat Man Utd at the moment, but I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will be ready for it.
