Manchester United v Sheffield United live stream, BT Sport, Wednesday 27 January, 8.15pm GMT
Manchester United will be looking to boost their Premier League title challenge when they host Sheffield United on Wednesday.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side head into this game in fine form. Sunday’s 3-2 victory over Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup means United have only lost one of their 13 fixtures in all competitions, while a 2-1 win at Fulham last week extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 13 games.
United began the week at the summit of the standings and have seemingly emerged as genuine title contenders over the last couple of months, although plenty could change before the end of the campaign. For now, at least, United are in a better position than at any time since Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013.

The same cannot be said for Sheffield United, who are on course to go down as the worst team in Premier League history by points tally. Chris Wilder’s side have just five to their name at the midway point of the campaign, with a solitary victory in 19 attempts. Time is already running out for the Blades, who are 12 points adrift of safety going into the midweek round of fixtures.
Manchester United will have to make do without Facundo Pellestri, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones and Brandon Williams, while Marcus Rashford will need to be assessed after sustaining a knee injury. David de Gea, Fred and Bruno Fernandes are set to return to the starting XI after beginning the Liverpool game on the bench, but Edinson Cavani is likely to keep his place up front ahead of Anthony Martial.
Sheffield United will be unable to call upon the services of Sander Berge, Oli McBurnie, Ben Osborn, Jack O’Connell and Jack Robinson. Lys Mousset is carrying a knock but could be passed fit in time to feature.
Kick-off is at 8.15pm GMT and the game is being shown on BT Sport 1 in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Manchester United v Sheffield United live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jose Mourinho tantrum. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
There are plenty of options out there, including:
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
A cheaper option; its cheapest package current averages at a wallet-friendly £2.29 per month.
Slightly more expensive but supports up to 10 devices, and you can pay for it every three months if you need to.
