Sheffield United vs Manchester City
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, November 1, 2024
Starts 12:30 UK / 13:30 CET
Location: Bramall Lane (Sheffield).

Manchester City are aiming to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 7 when they travel to Sheffield United for Saturday's Premier League game.

Citizens thrashed Marseille 3-0 to maintain a perfect start to the Champions League and extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 6.

However, they have something to catch up in the Premier League and they drew 1-1 at West Ham last week, dropping points for the third time in 5 games. They are currently eighth in the table, but 5 points behind Liverpool and Everton.

However, the Citizens are the outright favorites to bounce back into victory lane on Saturday and the visitors can count on an odd 1,30

Sheffield United are struggling in the new season and their winless streak stretches to six games after a 1-2 loss to Liverpool last Saturday. The only point Chris Wilder's men have taken so far is against Fulham (1-1), a team sitting 1 place behind them at the foot of the EPL table.

A win here could lift them out of the relegation zone temporarily and they can back up to a maximum of 9.00 to cause a surprise for the Sky Blues.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City head to head

Man City are undefeated in their four Premier League meetings with Sheffield United, with 3 wins and a draw.

However, Sheffield achieved a rare win in an FA Cup tie at Bramall Lane between two EPL matches.

Contrary to the general scoring trend seen in teams led by Pep Guardiola, this h2h duel has low goal variance, with only 1 of the last 5 goals producing more than 2,5 goals.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City Prediction

There have been a lot of forced adjustments and line-up changes for Man City over the course of the season and this has prevented them from having any sort of consistency so far.

But they were able to unleash the beast each time they continued with a full squad, as exemplified by solid wins over Porto and Marseille in the Champions League.

Sheffield have problems across the pitch and offer very little in attack and their defense is bound to make mistakes when playing against top quality teams.

So City's win and 2,5+ goals at full time add good value for punters.

My second recommendation is from the player market and none other than Raheem Sterling, who has already scored three times in the Premier League this season. While the number of goals he's scored isn't surprising, it's reassuring that he's someone who gets into goal-scoring positions more often than anyone else on the team.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City Betting Tips

• Manchester City win and over 2,5 goals at 1,80
