Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be looking to avoid an upset at Sheffield United on Thursday, although the Manchester United manager expects shock results will continue for the rest of the campaign.
Manchester United could be as many as six points outside the top four by the time they kick-off at Bramall Lane, but Solskjaer's men are not the only big club struggling.
Arsenal are way off the pace, Manchester City's standards have slipped and even Chelsea, apparent title contenders, are falling down the table after back-to-back defeats.
Solskjaer believes these problems are due to the packed schedule in this unique coronavirus-affected season, meaning there is no reason for the trend to end.
