"Trouble": Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester City v Sheffield United

Mark Lawrenson has backed Manchester City to secure a victory over their next Premier League rivals, Sheffield United, at the weekend. The Citizens are currently leading the league table and they will be looking to celebrate another win when they face Chris Wilder's side on Saturday. And Lawrenson believes the upcoming game will give another success to Pep Guardiola's team, with the club beating the opponents with a score of 3 - 0.  "Sheffield United got a terrific result at Old Trafford on Wednesday but the table shows how much work they have to do to get out of trouble," he said. "So, an immediate return to Manchester is not really the game they want as they look to build on that win over United, because City are looking so strong at the moment. "Pep Guardiola's side ripped into West Brom on Tuesday and got the game won early. The Blades will have to be ready for more of the same."
