Sheffield United hosts Manchester City in a match from the third round of the Premier League. We will have a look at it in our soccer accumulator tips and predictions. Let’s go!
Let’s start with the hosts here. Sheffield United had a negative start of their 2023/24 campaign – two losses in the first two matches. They certainly need to regroup now and show something better, but here comes the problem – they are facing Manchester City next.
Last weekend United paid a visit to Nottingham Forest, but the game ended with a 2-1 win for the hosts. Gustavo Hamer scored Sheffield’s only goal in the game, but it wasn’t enough.
The manager Paul Heckingbottom can try something different against the champions. Players like Larouci, Basham and Brooks can find their place in the line-up.
Manchester City are doing everything according to the plan so far – two wins from the first two games, and two clean sheets as well. The manager Josep Guardiola can be happy with his boys, although the 1-0 win against Newcastle last weekend wasn’t easy at all. The Argentine international Julian Alvarez became the hero with a beautiful goal in the first half.
Most likely Alvarez will start in the next match as well. As you probably know, Man City lost their most influential midfielder Kevin De Bruyne because of an injury. Now players like Kovacic, Foden and Alvarez must step up their game in order to replace the Belgian legend.
Guardiola didn’t make a single substitution against Newcastle, but players like Nathan Ake and Cole Palmer could be in contention to start against Sheffield United on Sunday.
That’s the soccer accumulator tips and predictions for the Premier League match between Sheffield United and Manchester City. Let’s see if the champions can make it three in a row here. Surely they are the favorites.
