Throughout this weekend, the Premier League will continue, and on the 30th of December, Manchester City and Sheffield United will compete against one another.
The match takes place at Etihad Stadium. With 37 points at the start of the weekend, the home team is in fourth place, while the visitors are at the bottom with 9 points.
Coming into the game, Manchester City is coming off a solid 3-1 victory at Everton on Wednesday.
Everton took the lead 1-0 at halftime after scoring their first goal in the 29th minute.
After tying the score in the 53rd minute, Manchester City came out on top in the second half, controlling play and winning the penalty 11 minutes later.
Four minutes remaining, a third goal from Manchester City ensured all three points.
Manchester City has won all six of its most recent games across all competitions thanks to the victory at Everton.
Champions League victories over Red Star Belgrade away and Premier League victories over Luton Town away have both occurred.
Before winning the World Club Cup, Manchester City was held to a 2-2 draw at home by Crystal Palace, despite victories over Fluminense and Urawa Red Diamonds.
Based on historical patterns, Manchester City has won all 34 of their home games across all competitions.
In their last eighteen home Premier League games, they have won fifteen of them.
Sheffield United travels to the Etihad Stadium after suffering a crucial 3-2 home defeat to Luton Town in a crucial relegation match.
Luton Town had a 1-0 lead at the half, but Sheffield United rallied mightily to take a 2-1 lead after 69 minutes.
But Luton Town was far from out of the game, as they pulled off a late victory with two goals in as many minutes.
After losing to Luton Town, Sheffield United has only triumphed in one of their last eight Premier League games.
Along with losses away to Burnley and Chelsea, there have also been losses at home to Bournemouth and Liverpool.
In addition to winning 1-0 at home against Brentford in the league, the Blades did manage to pick up a point at Brighton and Aston Villa.
Sheffield United has not triumphed in any of their previous ten away Premier League games, according to trends.
During that 10-game stretch, they have lost eight of them, and in their last five away games, they have failed to score a goal.
Team news: Regarding the Manchester City squad, Rúben Dias, Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Jérémy Doku, and John Stones' availability is questionable due to injury.
Both Gustavo Hamer and Anel Ahmedhodzic are out of action for Sheffield United. While James McAtee is on loan, Chris Basham, John Egan, and Tom Davies are sidelined due to injuries.
Manchester City will see this as the ideal chance to build on their victory over Everton.
Despite not playing at their peak this season in the Premier League, the defending champions should have enough to defeat Sheffield United and win the match.
