Manchester City are hoping for a 12th consecutive win in all competitions while Sheffield United will have confidence boosted by winning 2-1 at Manchester United on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola’s team were given a rough ride by Chris Wilder’s in their 1-0 win when they met in October but the leaders being beaten by the Blades at home would rate as even more of a shock than Manchester United’s defeat.
