Manchester City are likely to have things all their own away against Sheffield United, according to Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage.
Sheffield United host Manchester City at Bramall Lane in the first of a Super Sunday double-header.
Man City won five straight games against Sheffield United, make this six. Listen, the atmosphere at Bramall Lane will be pumping, but Manchester City will be going there looking to score goals.
I think they'll keep a clean sheet and we're gonna go Man City to win 3-0.
Robbie's tip:
Man City to win 3-0
Sheffield United vs Man City team news
John Fleck (calf), Rhian Brewster (thigh), Ismaila Coulibaly (knee), Rhys Norrington-Davies (thigh), Jayden Bogle (knee) and Anis Ben Slimane (thigh) are all doubts for Sheffield United.
Daniel Jebbison (groin), Oliver McBurnie (ankle), George Baldock (calf) and Max Lowe (ankle) are all 50/50 and could make a return to the squad for the visit of Man City.
New Cityzen Jeremy Doku could feature in a Manchester City squad for the first time but Kevin De Bruyne (thigh), John Stones (thigh) and Bernardo Silva (illness) will miss out.
Sheffield United vs Man City key stats
Man City have kept eight consecutive Premier League clean sheets against Sheffield United.
Sheffield United's only Premier League win over City came in 1992 when they beat them 4-2.
The visitors have only outscored the Blades 6-0 across their last eight Premier League meetings.
City have beaten Sheffield United 1-0 in their last three Premier League meetings.
Planet Sport's other bets to consider
The Blades got off the mark with a wondergoal against Forest but they're not creating good chances and City's defence should be able to handle them.
The visitor's record-breaking frontman is just a little bit better than anyone Sheffield United would have faced in the Championship, so they could struggle to get to grips with him early in the game.
