Manchester City are back in action on Saturday, facing strugglers Sheffield United at home. Pep Guardiola's men were handed a big boost on Thursday night, with Arsenal losing at home to West Ham United. City can now move level with the second placed Gunners with a win on Saturday afternoon.
Sheffield United have struggled mightily since returning to the top tier, currently bottom having won just two games so far. City will be confident of picking up all three points here, but they will have to guard against complacency. Here we have put together a likely City starting XI for the clash.
1. GK - Ederson
City's undisputed number one.
2. LB - Nathan Ake
Ake will likely start on the left again here.
3. CB - Manuel Akanji
Akanji will surely keep his place in the middle of defence.
4. CB - Josko Gvardiol
Gvardiol is likely to come in with John Stones having suffered an ankle injury that will keep him out here.
