Manchester City suffered a tough loss against Wolves and will now have another dangerous task coming their way, as they will play host to Sheffield United on Sunday. Sheffield United have been tremendous this season and are coming into this match on an undefeated streak.

Sheffield United (7-4-8) are coming off a very strong performance at home against Watford but only managed to take a single point from that 1-1 draw. But prior to that they had three consecutive wins and have lost just once in almost three months! Sheffield United are temporarily sitting at the 7th spot of the league table with 29 points, three points behind the 4th Chelsea. More importantly, they have yet to lose a single match on the road (3-0-6).

Manchester City (12-5-2) saw an early red card in their away match against Wolves but still managed to take a two-goal lead. Even so, their opponents went on to score three goals to beat them by 2-3 on the road. That loss came after four consecutive losses for Manchester City, who have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 matches in all competitions. Manchester City are sitting 3rd in the league table with 38 points, four behind Leicester.

Sheffield United actually beat Manchester City when the two teams last met in an FA Cup match back in 2008. And they have not been very bad in this match-up over the years (2-3-2). Manchester City will be looking to bounce back and Sheffield United are in danger of losing their first away match of the season. They have been consistent scorers on the road and I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a goal-fest here.
