Sheffield United vs Manchester City
The Citizens Manchester City will visit the Sheffield United headquarters at Bramall Lane in the continuation of the English Premier League this week 24. Manchester City’s hopes of becoming champions seem to have vanished, Pep Guardiola only hopes to be runner-up this season and keep his distance from rivals Leicester City.
“Our goal now is to finish second [in the English League] and win other competitions [FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions League]. You must have a priority target. However, you cannot achieve it, if you play poorly in the Premier League, you must maintaining high standards, “Guardiola was quoted as saying on the club’s official website.
Indeed, the ambitions of the English Premier League champions have to be undone because the Manchester City are 16 points adrift of Liverpool. But that does not mean they are not aiming for victory again, winning 3 points from Leicester City makes Sergio Aguero et al worry and must win at the headquarters of Sheffield United.
What’s more, Sheffield United also benefit from home but they also have an unbeaten record in the last 3 games in a row with 2 wins over Fylde and West Ham United then draw against Arsenal. Can count on the Gunners coach Chris Wilder hopes to influence the foster children against the care of Pep Guardiola.
“Manchester City want to win every game [which they play]. “You won’t get results if you don’t play well [from one match to another], as a team,” Wilder was quoted as saying by the official Sheffield United website.
Nevertheless clearly the chance of winning was on Manchester City’s side, in the previous first round Manchester City successfully defeated Sheffield United with a score of 2 goals without reply. Then in the last 11 games The Citizens only swallowed 1 defeat and 1 draw, then they won 8 other matches. Most likely Manchester City can embarrass Sheffield United.
