Jack Robinson and James McAtee are back in the line-up for Sheffield Utd, with Oli McBurnie and Cameron Archer continuing up top.
Antony is back in the starting XI for Man Utd, with Jonny Evans partnering Harry Maguire at centre-back.
It has been a tough start to the 23/24 campaign for Erik ten Hag's side, who sit 10th in the table heading into the upcoming round of fixtures. The Red Devils have scored only nine goals in their eight matches to date, leaving them off the pace in the race for the top four.
When it comes to meetings with teams like Sheffield Utd, only a win will do for Ten Hag's men. With the Manchester derby to follow next weekend, Man Utd desperately need a confidence-boosting victory at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield Utd have endured a tricky start to life back in the EPL following their promotion last term. They are bottom of the table with just one point to their name so far. No team has conceded as many goals as their 22, so a shock win here would be a relief for their under-fire manager Paul Heckingbottom.

How to watch the Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd live stream wherever you are
The Sheffield Utd vs Man Utd live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.
Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Peacock or another service and watch the game.
