Sheffield United have not beaten Manchester City since the 3-1 win at home in 1993 Premier League. In 11 matches between both these teams since then, City have won six and four have ended in draws.

They were knocked out in the fourth round last year and haven’t gone past the fifth round stage since 1997. Their opponents, City will be further boosted by the fitness of striker Sergio Aguero, who limped off in the Carabao Cup 2019-20 final against Aston Villa.
