The forward replaced Rasmus Hojlund at the end of the 90 minutes with nine more added on in injury time. Wheatley has been in excellent goal scoring form ..read more

Bruno Fernandes scored twice in Man Utd’s 4-2 win over Sheffield Utd (Photo: Getty) Chris Wilder was ‘really disappointed’ with two refereeing decisions that lead to Manchester United’s 4-2 comeback win over Sheffield United. The Blades took a shock lead at Old Trafford on Wednesday night when Jayden Bogle capitalised on a calamitous error from Andre Onana. Their lead wouldn’t last long however with Harry Maguire heading in following a set-piece situation just before half-time, but Wilder was perplexed at why a free-kick was given in the first place. Referee Michael Salisbury gave the free-ki ..read more

The Dutchman saw plenty of positives in his side’s win over Sheffield United (Picture: Getty) Erik ten Hag has hit back at criticism of Manchester United’s performance in their 4-2 victory over Sheffield United, though he has warned Andre Onana and others that they must eradicate mistakes from their game. The Red Devils fell behind twice at Old Trafford on Wednesday night against the Premier League’s lowest-ranked team, with Jayden Bogle opening the scoring in the first half after being gifted possession by Onana. Harry Maguire levelled the scores shortly before half-time only for Ben Brereto ..read more

Fernandes picked up a knock on Sunday (Picture: Getty) Marcus Rashford misses Manchester United’s Premier League clash tonight against Sheffield United but there is still no room in the starting XI for Amad Diallo. United scraped through by the skin of their teeth at Wembley on Sunday, seeing off Coventry on penalties to set up another FA Cup final with neighbours Manchester City. They lost both Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford to injury in extra time on Sunday evening with both missing out tonight – although the Scotland international is among the subs. Casemiro and Harry Maguire continui ..read more

Mohamed Salah can send the Reds to victory at Goodison Park (Picture: Getty Images) It’s going to take more than a few controversial penalty decisions going in their favour for Everton to beat Liverpool in the latest Merseyside derby. The Toffees moved five points clear of the relegation zone with a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday which ended with the visitors issuing a statement basically calling the integrity of VAR official Stuart Attwell into doubt. The Reds game at Fulham followed that match and was a more routine affair with Jurgen Klopp’s team enjoying a 3-1 success at Cra ..read more

Rashford limped off in extra-time on Sunday (Picture: Getty) Manchester United welcome Sheffield United to Old Trafford on Wednesday as they resume Premier League action following their FA Cup semi-final drama. Erik ten Hag’s side set up a repeat of last year’s final against Manchester City but only after surviving a major scare against Coventry, beating the Championship side on penalties after blowing a three-goal lead. On the eve of that game, Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat and Willy Kambwala were all ruled out of the trip to Wembley, with ten Hag forced to name a centre-half partnership of Ca ..read more

Chelsea’s inconsistent form continued against Sheffield United (Pictures: Getty) Alan Pardew says Chelsea’s back four is a ‘worry’ and a ‘concern’ after Mauricio Pochettino’s side failed to beat Premier League struggles Sheffield United. Sheffield United had only taken 15 points from 30 games before hosting Chelsea on Sunday but Oli McBurnie’s injury-time goal denied the Blues victory at Bramall Lane. Chelsea led twice – through Thiago Silva and Noni Madueke – but Sheffield United fought back and secured a point thanks to Jayden Bogle’s first-half equaliser and McBurnie’s late leveller. Poche ..read more

Tottenham host Nottingham Forest at the rather unusual time of 6pm (Picture: Getty) There are three Premier League matches taking place on Sunday – with Liverpool’s trip to Manchester United top of the bill – yet none are kicking off in the traditional time slots. Normally, Super Sunday’s games begin with a 2pm kick-off followed by the more prestigious match at 4.30pm, but this weekend things look very different with not one but two evening games. Sheffield United host Chelsea at 5.30pm, though the game is not being televised, while Tottenham host Nottingham Forest at the particularly peculia ..read more

Trent Alexander-Arnold remains out of action (Picture: Getty Images) Curtis Jones and Andy Robertson are fit and available for Liverpool when they host Sheffield United on Thursday, but the trio of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota are all still recovering from injury. Jones has been sidelined since suffering an ankle problem against Brentford on 17 February, but has been training and is available to be in the squad this week. The midfielder has been impressive this season, making 17 Premier League appearances, so will be a welcome return for Klopp as the Reds continue the ..read more

Cole Palmer has been brilliant for Chelsea (Picture: Getty Images) Chelsea and Manchester United enter an intriguing contest at Stamford Bridge knowing victory will set them up for a decent chance of European football next season while defeat would be a serious setback. Wait! What? Chelsea playing in Europe next season? You’ve got to be kidding! Well, admittedly the Blues would have to buck up their ideas rather drastically and it’s something of a long shot to think they can qualify for even the Europa Conference League but the maths tells us that they are in with a chance. They may be just 9 ..read more
