Preview

Manchester City come into the game having won 11 games in a row as part of a 18-match unbeaten run in all competitions. A phenomenal run Pep and his team will look to continue.

The Blades are currently bottom of the table, with only two wins to their name this season, but come into the game on the back of a morale boosting victory of Manchester United in midweek.

A fantastic match is in store for us as Pep will not underestimate this opponent in what should be a fascinating encounter. Pep will surely know beating a Man United team will make this Sheffield especially dangerous and confident.

Which team will come out in front?
