What to Know

Manchester City will head out on the road to face off against Sheffield United at 9:00 a.m. ET on Sunday at Bramall Lane. The Blades took a loss in their last contest and are no doubt out to reverse the Citizens' good fortune.

Man City faced off against Newcastle for the first time this season, and the Citizens walked away the winners. Manchester City beat Newcastle United by a goal, winning 1-0. The game winning goal came at the 31 minute mark.

Meanwhile, it was a hard-fought contest, but Sheffield United had to settle for a 2-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest on Friday. That means the Blades have now suffered back-to-back defeats.

Every single game Man City played last year saw them stroll in as favorites (they finished 28-5-5), and they'll play their third game the same way. Manchester City fans who chose to bet on their team sure did well last year: betting $100 on them to win every EPL match netted those bettors $2,778.16.

Manchester City skirted past Sheffield United in their previous matchup back in January of 2021 1-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Citizens since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
