The 2023/24 Premier League season is in full swing, and the teams have already played their first two games.
All are aiming to dethrone Manchester City this season, but there is no doubt that the Pep Guardiola-coached side continue to play at a high level. No matter that the team is without İlkay Gündoğan (left for FC Barcelona) and Kevin De Bruyne (injured), it continues to prove that it’s undoubtedly the best in the world.
However, the rest of the teams intend to prevent the Citizens from becoming champions again, and one of the ways is by making them lose points at the start of the season.
Now, Manchester City will face Sheffield United in the game corresponding to matchday 3 of the 2023/24 season.

Why Bet on Sheffield United?
The Blades would be eager to ignite their season with an important win on Sunday in front of their ardent supporters.
Last season, Sheffield United excelled thanks to their automatic promotion to the Premier League at the second attempt. However, in this new episode in the top flight, they have suffered two consecutive defeats at the dawn of the campaign.
Sheffield must pick up important points in their next home game after losing narrowly to Crystal Palace at home and losing in the dying seconds to Nottingham Forest. On the other hand, last season, the Blades won 16 of their 23 home league games in the Championship.
However, everyone knows facing Manchester City, whether at home or away, is extremely hard.
Why Bet on Manchester City?
Manchester City, accustomed to their opponents being highly motivated to play against them, will see the visit to Sheffield United as another early season test.
Despite this, after eleven years without facing Sheffield United, Pep Guardiola’s side has won their five most recent games without conceding a goal. Something highly likely to be the case again next Sunday.
To get their Premier League title defense off to the perfect start and make it three wins in a row, the Citizens also defeated newly-promoted Burnley away with an excellent 3-0 scoreline. Then, in their second match, they defeated a powerful Newcastle side at home, who started the season with a 1-0 win.
Although Man City’s 2022-23 Premier League season ended with a loss to Brentford and a draw on the road against Brighton, they have won 12 of their previous 20 league games on the road. Also, let’s remember that City is coming off the back of being the Premier League, Champions League, and UEFA Super Cup champion.
