Manchester City enter this game with a comfortable 3-1 away win over Everton last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with 72% of the possession and clocked up 23 attempts on goal with 9 on target. By comparison, Everton managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 16 of their 18 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from The Citizens, although undefeated in their last 19 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
With 6 league goals in 6 games at home in The Etihad Stadium, Erling Haaland will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.

The Sheffield United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Luton Town recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Luton Town who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
Their boss Chris Wilder is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 4 goals scored. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 18 of their 19 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
Goalscorer Oli McBurnie will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sheffield United.
Manchester City vs. Sheffield United Head to head
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Manchester City came out on top, winning the match 1-2.

Man City will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with The Blades. Sheff. Utd have struggled to break down The Citizens defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings.
Man City will be looking to continue their winning streak against Sheff. Utd, having won each of the last 6 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 9 meetings.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kevin De Bruyne (Hamstring), Jérémy Doku (Leg), Erling Haaland (Foot) and Zack Steffen (Knee surgery) are all currently out of contention for this game.
