Manchester City is now at the head of the Premier League and has, with 1 more game, 1 point ahead of its closest pursuer. Pulsive at the start of the season, the Citizens are now running at full speed. Unstoppable for many weeks now, they have not lost since November 21, 18 matches in all competitions (15 wins and 3 draws). In the league, Pep Guardiola’s men have won their last 7 games, including the last one played this week at relegation West Bromwich (0-5). Last weekend, City won at Cheltenham in the FA Cup (1-3).
Back in the elite this year, Sheffield United is dead last in the Premier League and concedes a significant deficit of 10 points on the first non-relegation. Not at the level, the red lantern did not win during the first 17 days. On the other hand, Chris Wilder’s men appear more consistent lately. After dominating, at home, Newcastle (1-0), they lost against a solid formation from Tottenham (1-3). In the middle of the week, Sheffield United created a huge surprise by winning in the lair of Manchester United (1-2). Last weekend, the team composted its ticket for the 8th finals of the FA Cup after taking the upper hand, at home, over Plymouth (2-1).
Manchester City remains deprived of playing master De Bruyne (injured) and Argentine striker Aguero (covid). On the other hand, defender Aké could return from injury this Saturday.
