Manchester City at Sheffield United 1/21/20 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Sheffield United are still going strong in this season and are actually really close to the top-five and even the top-four. They will now have a tough task ahead of them though, as they will host Manchester City on Tuesday, who are coming off a really frustrating draw at home.

Manchester City (15-5-3) conceded an early goal at home against Crystal Palace but scored twice in a five-minute span to take the lead. Even so, Fernandinho scored an own goal shortly after for the final 2-2. Manchester City have no real hopes for a title, still sitting 2nd and now 16 points behind Liverpool. They have a 7-3-1 record on the road, scoring 33 goals and conceding 15 in the process, while keeping just one clean sheet in their last ten away matches in all competitions.

Sheffield United (8-6-9) fought really hard in their away match against Arsenal and scored a late goal that secured them a point from that 1-1 draw. They have been really strong this season, and even more so lately, losing only to Liverpool and Manchester City in their last nine (5-2-2). Sheffield United are sitting at the 7th spot of the league table with 33 points, just six points off the Champions League spots. They have been mediocre at home so far (5-4-2), but have lost just once in their last eight (5-1-2) in all competitions.

Manchester City won by a slim 0-2 in the first round, but results in this venue have been pretty balanced over the years (2-0-2). Sheffield United are one of the sturdiest teams in the Premier League this season, and with Manchester City having nothing to actually fight for, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw the home team taking something here. The Under 2.5 Goals also looks great, as Sheffield United play massive defense.
