Prediction

  • Sheffield United came close to a first Premier League point of the season last Friday night, but came undone by a late Chris Wood goal. The Blades have lost their opening two league matches following their top-flight return.
  • Conversely, Manchester City have won their two games so far and are yet to concede a goal. City eased to a 3-0 win when these sides last met in the FA Cup back in April, and have won four of their last five trips to Bramall Lane.
  • This should be a routine win for City.

    It says Foden made an assist...He couldn't control the ball and by chance Rodri was behind him and scored. Is that an assist nowadays? lol

    Do City backers have any money left after waiting for Haaaland to actually score?

    @Marbella Agree...Likely Doku will come in for the 2nd half...Foden in for Haaland after his hattrick or for Alvarez around 65 minutes...

    Haaland to score at least twice. Sheffield just offered contracts to two released youngsters by Man City. Gulf in class is understatement.

    Pep will not be at the game as he has just had back surgery in Barcelona.
