Prediction

  • Manchester City made a winning return to Premier League action, after winning the FIFA Club World Cup shortly before Christmas.
  • City, however, remain adrift of first place, with a need to make up ground over the coming weeks.
  • Sheffield United have now lost three of their five matches since Chris Wilder's return, after the 3-2 defeat at home to Luton on Boxing Day.
  • The Blades sit rock-bottom of the Premier League - and now seven points from safety.
  • Expect the champions to cruise to victory here.
