Sheffield United welcomes Manchester City at Bramall Lane in the Saturday fixture at Premier League 2020-21.
Match Timings: Oct 31, 6 PM
Team Preview
Sheff United had a disappointing start to the 2020-21 season and picked up just one point from six matches leaving them at 19th spot. The Blades lost their first four games and picked a point in the home game against Fulham, thanks to Billy Sharp’s strike in 84th minute. Chris Wilder's side suffered their 5th loss of the season this weekend as Liverpool edged past the Blades 2-1 at home. They haven’t replicated their last season’s game when they finished 9th in the table. The previous performances are fading away with every game and they face next to Chelsea in away-fixture so the tasks for Wilder is pretty difficult.
Meanwhile, Man City is still looking to improve their game this season. They occupy the 13th spot from five matches. City have defeated Wolves and Arsenal this season and dropped points against Leeds and West Ham. They have lost one game against Leicester City last month. Pep Guardiola's side also kicked off their Champions League campaign and beat Porto and Marseille in two successive games. The City would aim to take three points from this game before hosting to Liverpool and travelling to Spurs.
