Manchester City vs Sheffield United prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champions, kicked off their title defence with a 3-1 victory against Everton at Goodison Park. After securing the Club World Cup, Pep Guardiola's side returned to domestic duty and showed their class by coming from behind to secure the win. With one win in their last six league matches, City currently sit five points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.

Next on their agenda is a clash with struggling Sheffield United with City the unsurprising favourites at 1/10 with All British Casino with the Blades 20/1 to produce a huge shock at the Etihad Stadium and a draw is 10/1. The Blades, currently at the bottom of the table, suffered a 3-2 defeat at home to Luton Town in their previous match, however, they did manage to secure a draw against Aston Villa in their last away game.

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder will likely adopt a similar game plan against City, but it will be a challenging task to keep the formidable City attack at bay. With City aiming to regain the top spot, most fans and pundits expect Guardiola's men to assert their dominance in this Premier League mismatch.
