MCI Vs SHF Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: City taken an outright lead atop of the points tally.
Sheffield United not only did themselves a massive favour earlier in the week but ended up assuring City of top spot as well. Defeating Manchester United 2-1, the bottom placed side went onto record only its second win of the season.
Scoring in excess of two goals for the only the second time this term, Sheffield United ended up achieving that against the same opponents. Now with two wins in their last three matches after going 17 encounters empty handed, the side is finally showing the fight and character which was so amiss earlier.
However, those traits will fail to get them past the finishing line against the league leaders today.
MCI Vs SHF Fantasy Probable Winner
A foregone conclusion, City will end up easing their way to their sixth successive win in the league.

Goal-Keeper
Aaron Ramsdale finally showed why Sheffield United moved for him earlier in the summer as he pulled off a lowkey but match winning display for his club.
Defenders
Manchester City’s six match winning spree in the league has been a direct result of their backline. The team has kept five cleansheets in that period, letting in only the one in the process.
Along with his cleansheet, Joao Cancelo ended up recording a goal and cleansheet the last time around to make him an instant pick for us. John Stones who has thumped three goals across the last month sees him partner up with Cancelo.
New signing Ruben Dias has fast made a name for himself as one of the most astute defenders in the league. The visitors elsewhere will see Chris Basham be inducted in our team.
Midfielders
John Fleck was integral to his side’s win the last time around as he pulled off an assist for the club. Meanwhile Ethan Ampadu was influence in defence, keeping at bay almost every attack sent down his way.
A goal and assist for Riyadh Mahrez against West Brom see him partner up with Ilkay Gundogan who scored twice in that encounter. Phil Foden, the club’s top scorer this season completes the trio from the side.
Strikers
Raheem Sterling had a goal and assist in the same contest to see him end our selections for the matchup.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Cancelo’s man of the match performance makes him our captain while Stones is the vice-captain.
