Man City vs Sheffield Utd team news
Man City
Man City made the trip to Goodison Park in midweek where despite trailing 1-0 at the interval, Pep Guardiola's men ran out comfortable winners in the end. Phil Foden equalised early in the second half from range and Julian Alvarez converted a soft penalty to make it 2-1 in the sixty-fourth minute. Bernardo Silva pounced upon a poor pass from Jordon Pickford to make sure of the points late on.
John Stones picked up a knock in that win over Everton and could be joined on the sidelines by Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremy Doku and Ruben Dias this weekend.
Predicted Lineup: Ederson (GK), Walker, Aké, Gvardiol, Akanji, Grealish, Silva, Rodri, Foden, Nunes & Álvarez
Sheff Utd
The Blades lost what felt like a must-win game at home to Luton last time out, going down 3-2 in their own backyard. Luton went in at the break 1-0 up but two goals in the second half from Ollie McBurnie and Anel Ahmedhodzic saw Sheff Utd take the lead. However, the luck went against the home side as two own goals handed Luton all three points on a plate.
Chris Basham, John Egan, Tom Davies, Daniel Jebbison and James McAtee could miss the trip to Manchester through injury or illness, while Gustavo Hamer and Anel Ahmedhodzic are suspended. Jayden Bogle is available for selection after serving a one-match ban.
Predicted Lineup: Foderingham (GK), Baldock, Robinson, Bogle, Trusty, Ben Slimane, Souza, McAtee, Lowe, McBurnie & Archer

Player to Watch: Bernardo Silva
We're backing Bernardo Silva to control this game for Manchester City and wouldn't be surprised to see the Portuguese international get on the scoresheet or set up a goal or two for his teammates.
Silva has scored five goals in the Premier League this season, most recently in midweek against Everton. The talented playmaker has also provided four assists this season, making him one of the main creators of goals in a Man City side packed with creativity.
