Manchester City are looking to bounce back at home to Sheffield United today following Friday’s capitulation at Wolves.
City let a two goal lead slip as they fell to a 3-2 defeat at Molineux, a result that appeared to firmly extinguish any lingering hopes of Pep Guardiola’s side defending their Premier League title this season.
Still in third place, they remain 14 points off Liverpool who still have a game in hand.
They welcome to the Etihad a Sheffield United side with growing hopes of finishing the season in the European places.
Kick-off comes at 6pm GMT on Sunday 29 December.
Team news and line-ups
Man City: Ederson will serve a suspension after his red card against Wolves. Sergio Aguero saw his night cut short as a result but will be hoping for his first start since November with Gabriel Jesus ill during the week.
Jesus, Silva and John Stones will be assessed.
Sheffield United: The Blades have no fresh injury concerns but Chris Wilder has suggested there will be changes.
How we think the sides could line up...
Man City XI: Bravo, Cancelo, Fernandinho, Otamendi, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Bernardo, Aguero, Sterling
Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, Stevens, Mousset, McGoldrick
