Sheffield United will host Manchester City in a Premier League fixture at Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to Nottingham Forest last weekend, while Man City secured a narrow 1-0 win over Newcastle United. With two wins from as many games the visitors are occupying fifth spot in the English top flight standings, just one point adrift of the top three who have played a game more. The Blades, on the other hand, are languishing at the 17th position, yet to open their account. Meanwhile, the previous meeting between these two sides was back in April in the semi-finals of the FA Cup where Pep Guardiola’s side prevailed 3-0 before going on to lift the title.

Sheffield United haven’t made the best of starts since returning to the top flight of English football following a second place finish in the 2022-23 EFL Championship. The Blades kicked off their 2023-24 Premier League campaign with a narrow 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace on August 12, before losing out to Nottingham a week later. Tricky Trees took an early lead through Taiwo Awiniyi’s third-minute opener before Gustavo Hamer netted a 48th-minute equaliser for Paul Heckingbottom’s side, and then Chris Wood Headed home the winning goal in the 89th-minute.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have already won two titles in the form of FA Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup this term, to add to their last season’s treble. Meanwhile, when it comes to the Premier League, Man City began their title-defence with a thumping 3-0 win away to newly-promoted Burnley on August 12, before edging past Newcastle at Etihad Stadium last time out. Guardiola’s men secured all three points against the Magpies thanks to Julian Alvarez’s stunning strike on the half-hour mark. Cityzens have made the perfect start to their hunt for a third successive league title. Meanwhile, the Sky Blues have signed attacker Jeremy Doku from Rennes for a reported transfer fee of GBP 55.8 million on Thursday and the Belgian international is expected to give them more pace and trickery down the wings.
Sheffield United probable starting lineup: Foderingham, Robinson, Egan, Ahmedhodzic, Baldock, Norwood, Souza, Larouci, Hamer, Traore, Osula
Manchester City probable starting lineup: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Kovacic, Silva, Alvarez, Foden, Haaland
