Manchester City vs Sheffield Utd – Preview, and Prediction
Manchester City vs Sheffield Utd – On Wednesday night, Manchester City managed to pull off a miraculous comeback away at Everton.
Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez, and Bernardo Silva scored for Pep Guardiola’s club at Goodison, winning 3-1. Foden and Silva thrived without Erling Haaland, who isn’t ready to play.
Despite the fact that Arsenal and Liverpool are also competing for the Premier League title, the Citizens have managed to keep their lead over other sides.
On Saturday afternoon, on Matchday No. 20, they will have a great opportunity to build on their victory from mid-week when Sheffield United, who are now in last place, visit Etihad Stadium.
In four of the previous five games across all competitions, including both of the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup fixtures, Manchester City scored three goals or more.
They now face the league’s worst defensive line, and the only outcome we can predict is a resounding win for the home team this coming weekend.
On Boxing Day, Sheffield United lost heartbreakingly to relegation rivals Luton at home after giving up two own goals in the closing minutes to blow a one-goal lead at Bramall Lane.
