We simulated Man City vs Sheffield United to predict Premier League clash

After Arsenal's defeat against West Ham, Manchester City have the chance to move into second place when they face Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday.
City returned from their Club World Cup success with a 3-1 win over Everton in the Premier League, with the victory moving Pep Guardiola's side above Tottenham and into fourth place.

We predict that the Blades could set up in a 4-4-2 formation, with their line-up as follows: Foderingham; Baldock, Trusty, Robinson, Thomas; Bogle, Norwood, Souza, Archer; Brewster, McBurnie.
City dominated the opening stages at the Ethihad, but against the run of play, it was the visitors who took the lead when Oli McBurnie poked home Rhian Brewster's cross at the back post. It didn't take long for City to draw level though, with Guardiola's side making it 1-1 just six minutes later.
A long-range effort from Rodri forced Wes Foderingham into a fantastic save, with the 'keeper tipping the shot over the bar and out for a corner. The 'keeper couldn't do anything
