This is a vital game for both of these sides. Manchester United can go five points clear of Sheffield United if winning this game but will go behind them if losing. The Blades have just one point from their two games played since the season resumed. They are struggling for goals and with United in good form at home, go for the Red Devils to get the win here.
But we should still have won it, we let ourselves down. I wouldn't say the pressure affected us; we more expected to do it, that was the problem. We were so on top during that era. Horrendous' pressure & protecting a legacyIn defying the odds to stop the 10, Celtic's players were feted as heroes by their success-starved fans.

At the start of the 2018-19 season, Guardiola spoke to the German privately about his behaviour at training. In an interview for the book Pep's City, for which he provides a credit, Guardiola said of Sane: "It's about his mental attitude.

De Graafschap enter this away fixture with a good record within the league of at least 3 wins and 2 draws in their last five matches have an aggregate goal tally of 49. The host Psv have been in dismal form in their last five matches having on won 1 and lost 3 in their last five matches and have conceded almost twice as much as they have scored .I reckon that this match will produce a total tally of at least two goals but mainly because Graafschap will be away on this match a straight win will be a tricky prediction

Chelsea to win, which is no good for Tottenham. Steve on the race for the top four: I still have hopes for the top four for Spurs at the moment, even if I don't think it will happen. There are three teams nailed on - Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester - but then another six teams are in the hunt and, a bit like last season, no-one really seems to want to be there. No team is making the fourth place theirs.

As clubs could be heavily affected at different points over the year, it may not be possible to ensure the integrity of the competition.

There was more positive news on winger Leroy Sane, who has been out with a knee injury since the Community Shield, as Guardiola confirmed he will feature for City's under-23s against Arsenal on Friday. I don't want to put targets on him, we want him to play the game then speak with him, (about) how he felt.
This was their 49th game of the campaign yet the enforced break appears to have done Nuno Espirito Santo's side a power of good as they marked their return to action with a thoroughly professional performance. Not for the first time, Traore played a critical role in his side's victory despite starting on the substitutes bench. In a game of few chances, Wolves took control when the Spaniard produced a sublime cross for Jimenez to send a powerful header into the net.
He scored two further goals for the club and had several loan spells before leaving for good in 2014. Danny Welbeck also enjoyed an impressive breakout campaign.

I never coach a team to go out there and have any mentality other than them winning the game. And nothing will be different .
