Manchester City will look to extend their perfect start to the Premier League season when they face newly-promoted Sheffield United on Tuesday. The game will not be televised by CCTV5 due to broadcasting rights issues.

City are the only team in the league with two wins out of two, having beaten Burnley and Newcastle in their opening games. They also won the European Super Cup on penalties against Sevilla, adding to their trophy collection.

However, City have also faced some setbacks, as manager Pep Guardiola is recovering from back surgery and will miss the next two weeks. Assistant coach Juanma Lillo will take charge of the team in his absence.

City's star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is also out for the rest of the year after undergoing surgery on his hamstring. The Belgian playmaker was instrumental in City's title defense last season, scoring 13 goals and providing 18 assists.

City have tried to cope with the losses by signing some reinforcements, such as winger Doku from Rennes and midfielder Kovacic from Real Madrid. They are also interested in Wolves' Nuno, but the deal is not done yet.

City will face a Sheffield United side that is struggling to adapt to the top flight. The Blades finished second in the Championship last season and returned to the Premier League after a two-year absence.

They have made some changes to their squad, bringing in players like Traore, Tom Davies, Hamer, Sosa and Ahmedhodzic. However, they have also suffered a lot of injuries, with 10 players unavailable for Tuesday's game.

Sheffield United have lost their first two games against Crystal Palace and Leicester, conceding five goals and scoring none. They will need a miracle to stop City's firepower, which includes Haaland, Grealish, Alvarez, Foden and Rodri.

City have a dominant record against Sheffield United, having won six and drawn two of their eight Premier League meetings. The last time they faced each other was in January 2020, when City won 1-0 at Bramall Lane.

City will be without De Bruyne, Stones and B Silva for Tuesday's game, while Sheffield United will miss McBurnie, Brewster, Jebbison, Fleck and six others. City's new signing Doku could make his debut for the club.

City are the favorites to win the game and stay on top of the table, while Sheffield United are hoping to avoid another defeat and stay out of the relegation zone.
