Sheffield Utd Team News

Sheffield United returned to the Premier League after two seasons of Championship play. They finished the season in second place in the table, which was enough to secure a direct qualification among the best English clubs.

The team was drastically weakened compared to the previous season; considering that the two best players from the last season left the club, Iliman Ndiaye moved to Marseille. At the same time, the Norwegian Sander Berge strengthened the direct competitor, the Burnley.

After mixed results in the preparatory period (two wins, one draw, and three losses), Sheffield started their comeback season in the Premier League with two losses.

In the first match, they were defeated by Crystal Palace at home 1:0, while in the second game, they lost to Nottingham 2:1. Even though it is only the beginning of the season, it is clear that Sheffield must raise the level of their game in order not to would repeat the fate of the 2020/21 season when they were mathematically relegated from the league already in April, far before the end of the season.

Manchester City Team News

Last season, Manchester City fulfilled a long-standing dream, winning the Champions League trophy. If we add to that that City also won another title of the champion of England and the FA Cup trophy, it is clear that “Citizen” is behind the most successful season in their history.

Manchester also started the new season with a trophy, as they won the European Super Cup, defeating Sevilla on penalties. Likewise, City could have won another medal at the very start of the calendar year, but they lost to Arsenal in the final of the Community Shield, also on penalties.

The team’s roster remained almost unchanged, considering only Gundogan and Mahrez left the club. At the same time, coach Guardiola brought three players who were his big wishes: Mateo Kovacic, Josko Guardiol, and Jeremy Doku.

City started the new season of the Premier League with two victories, defeating Burnley 3:0 and Newcastle 1:0, and has the perfect opportunity to continue that streak against the “newcomer” in the league.
