No need to explain why Manchester City stands as an absolute favorite against Sheffield United. No, it’s not because they play at home, but simply due to the difference in quality between the European and Premier League champions and probably the worst team in the league.
Before Betting on Manchester City vs. Sheffield United
The Citizens are without a loss for the last six straight meetings. After winning the Club World Cup title, they went to Goodison Park to play against Everton. After trailing at halftime, Pep Guardiola’s squad scored three goals in the second 45 minutes, easily flipping the result and showing its fantastic quality. The final result was 1-3.
This was also the sixth consecutive clash with three or more goals, and in all of them, Manchester City managed to score at least twice. Now, we have to add that Erling Haaland didn’t appear in several encounters due to his injury, which only makes this achievement bigger.
Sheffield United is slowly preparing for the comeback to the Championship. After 19 games played in the Premiership, the team from Bramall Lane has only nine points with the worst offense and the worst defense in the entire competition.
On Wednesday night, the Blades lost at home to Luton 2-3, missing one big chance to come back in the relegation race. Suffering a defeat against the direct opponent is a huge blow and a massive hit to the already shaken morale.

The Citizens will have an easy task here, and even though the sensations are possible in Premier League events (no doubt about that), we don’t expect to see any at the Etihad Stadium. The Blades don’t stand a chance against the Citizens, who will triumph by at least a two-goal margin, if not higher.
