Manchester City vs Sheffield United Preview
England, FA Cup, Saturday, April 22nd, 16:45(UK)
This weekend will decide who contests the FA Cup final at the end of May. Saturday’s match sees Sheffield United take on the might of Manchester City. The Premier League champions are strong favourites with the bookmakers but we do occasionally see some magic in the FA Cup.
Pep Guardiola’s finished the job against Bayern Munich midweek to progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Their sights are now firmly set on the semi-finals of the FA Cup as they look to complete the treble. This accomplishment has eluded English sides since 1999 but there is a growing feeling that this Manchester City side are capable of going all the way. City were on a 10-game winning streak prior to the draw at the Allianz this week but the tie was effectively over before they made the trip to Bavaria.
Sheffield United are enjoying a fantastic season of their own. They are close to clinching a return to the Premier League after successfully fighting off a challenge from both Luton and Middlesbrough. However, they are some way behind Burnley, a side that Manchester City beat 6-0 in the last round of the FA Cup.

Manchester City have been ruthless on their run to the semi-finals. They have scored 14 goals and are yet to concede. They have seen off Chelsea and Arsenal with relative ease so they cannot be accused of having a favourable draw.
They’re the massive favourites for good reason. bet365 allows us to add markets that are not available with other bookmakers and this is extremely useful when betting on a game with such a strong favourite.
Another clean sheet for City is an appealing angle here. Pep tinkered with his defensive shape at the start of 2023 and he seems to have found the balance in the last couple of months. They have six clean sheets in their last ten matches in all competitions and the fact they are taking on a team from the league below will only help our cause.
Pep Guardiola’s are full of confidence so expect them to make a fast start in this one. The Citizens to be winning at half-time and full-time looks like a really good bet here. Sheffield United will be under the cosh from the off and 45 minutes is a long time to hold out against the likes of Erling Haaland. If City get their noses in front early on it is very difficult to see the Championship side regaining a footing in the game.
Manchester City matches average the fewest throws in the Premier League. Their league matches this season are averaging 29.8 throws per game. They are dominant in possession of the ball and they seldom misplace a pass. This is a key factor in why their matches see so few throws.
One of the best things about the bet365 builder is the ability to control the line for prop selections. As a prop specialist, this is invaluable to me. I’m able to set the line where I want it to be to suit the bet.
Their domestic cup matches over the last three seasons are averaging 35 throws per game. Both of those averages are well within the required mark for this bet to land.
- Both Teams To Score – No
- Manchester City Half-Time/Full-Time
- Under 40.5 Throws In The Match
