Man City vs Sheffield United Premier League predictions: tips, odds and team news

Manchester City will be hoping to end 2023 on a high when they host Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday at 3pm (UK time).

Man City vs Sheffield United odds

Man City are the world champions but their Premier League title defence isn’t in a good place right now. The Citizens are just about holding onto their spot in the top four, having won only two of their last seven games. Both of those victories came away from home, with Man City winless in their last three at the Etihad, drawing with Liverpool, Tottenham and Crystal Palace. Last time out they had to come from a goal down to beat Everton at Goodison Park.

Sheffield United, meanwhile, are bottom of the table and have lost some ground in the fight for safety. Chris Wilder’s men have won just two of their 19 games, amassing nine points. They had the chance to close the gap in midweek, taking on Luton and they had a 2-1 lead. But, two own goals condemned Sheffield United to defeat, with the Blades now seven points from safety. It will come as no surprise that Sheffield United have both the worst attack and worst defence in the Premier League this season.

Erling Haaland still won’t be back until next year, while Man City are also managing the return of Kevin De Bruyne. John Stones picked up an injury in the win over Everton in midweek, and will definitely miss this game. Ruben Dias could feature if he recovers from illness.
