Mahrez and Cancelo back - Man City line up fans want to see vs Sheffield United

Manchester City fans want Pep Guardiola to go strong at Sheffield United this afternoon, rather than rest any key players ahead of a busy week coming up.

With Olympiacos awaiting in the Champions League before a crucial showdown with Liverpool in the Premier League, Guardiola could be forgiven for making one or two changes to rest his players ahead of those two big games.

However, there are three points still to be won in the Premier League at Bramall Lane, and although Sheffield United are yet to record their first win of the season, City know that Chris Wilder's men will be no pushovers.

So maybe that's why fans have picked a strong side using MEN Sport's team selector tool, with the most popular XI seeing almost as strong a side as Guardiola could name.

The back four sees in-form Kyle Walker start at his former club, with Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte to his left. Joao Cancelo comes back in at left-back in this fans' XI after dropping to the bench at Marseille.

Into midfield, and fans want to see a trio of Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, as City will look to dominate proceedings against Sheffield United.

In attack, although City will once again be without Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus remains a doubt, fans still have picked a formidable front three.

Raheem Sterling is likely to lead the line once more, with Riyad Mahrez returning to the starting line up and Phil Foden continuing after another impressive showing in France.

Man City fans' XI to face Sheffield United: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling.
