THE PREDICTION
Manchester City disappointed yet again last weekend, drawing 1-1 against West Ham. You have to feel that if City were to ever turn their form around this season, it has to be against a side who sit second from bottom with zero wins, five losses and a draw, not to mention a 0.5 average goals scored per game. Playing in Europe doesn’t seem to be a problem for Pep’s men, but when it comes to the Premier League, thing’s just aren’t going right. Even if the game against Sheffield United isn’t a notorious 5-0 City demolition, such as the games we’ve seen in the past, it is almost impossible to not back an away win. The only positive from City’s draw last week was the introduction of Foden at half-time, who ran the show in the second half and put in a good shift against Marseille on Tuesday night. If their local star boy does start, expect him to be involved with either a goal or an assist.
