Sheffield United hosts Manchester City in round 24 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 21st at Bramall Lane (Sheffield)
Sheffield United returned to the Premier League after a very long break. It returned to gain a foothold in it. Its results prove this. The Blades scored 33 points in 23 rounds played. They take 7th place in the standings. And they even have claims to a place in European cups at the end of the championship. Sheffield lags behind 5th place by only one point. In the last round, it tied against Arsenal (1-1). Moreover, the score was leveled at 83rd minute. This indicates the presence of a fighting spirit in the team.

The current champion Manchester City will return their seals at the end of the championship and transfer them to Liverpool. We can say it even now. Man City lags behind the leading Liverpool by 13 points. The Citizens will probably not go down below the 4th place. They have a margin of 11 points from fourth Chelsea. That is, a ticket to the Champions League will also be. Well, that’s it. There are no special challenges for the champion in this championship. It will spend all its strength in the Champions League.
In the last round, Manchester City allowed itself to tie with Crystal Palace at home (2-2). Perhaps, the champion doesn’t want to lose points two times in a row. But it will certainly not work hard in the defense. Manchester City has already conceded 27 goals in 23 rounds. For comparison, it conceded 23 goals for the entire last championship. The Citizens conceded in eight of 11 away matches. They concede in three last rounds in a row. It’s always nice to score a champion, even if you don’t win the match. The Blades will also strive for this. Sheffield is not a particularly productive team – it scored only 25 goals in the championship. But it scored in 8 out of 11 home games. And I think this time the Blades won’t leave the field without a goal scored.
Prediction for the match: Sheffield United to score over 0.5 goals
