Before that midweek game, City recorded a superb six official matches in a row scoring at least three goals.It is important to highlight that the Citizens have also achieved this in eight of its 11 home matches in 2023, including an impressive 6-0 victory over second division leaders Burnley to secure their place in this semi-finals.

Betting on Sheffield United
While a far cry from what Manchester City has done, Sheffield United’s season has been excellent, as they are on track to complete its return to the English Premier League, sitting second in the Championship. What’s more, now they have the opportunity to seal an historic qualification to the FA Cup final.
Sheffield heads into this match after winning an incredible match in which a goal by Thomas Doyle in the 90+1 minute gave earned them a ticket to this stage. It was a crazy 3-2 victory and although it was against another second division side, they had previously eliminated Tottenham by a score of 1-0, so facing Manchester City here may not scare them.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Adam Davies; Anel Ahmedhodzic, John Egan, Jack Robinson; George Baldock, Sander Berge, Tommy Doyle, John Fleck, Max Lowe; Iliman Ndiaye, Oliver McBurnie.
JefeBet Prediction
Manchester City are coming off a demanding midweek game, so it is likely that Pep Guardiola will rest some players, considering the few days they have had to recover.
However, their line-up would still be one of high quality and capable of dominating at will a Sheffield United side who have already beaten Tottenham in this tournament but are still a far inferior side to City.
Therefore, on this occasion at JefeBet we expect City to show their superiority and take a resounding victory in this match, just like in the quarterfinals.
Prediction: Manchester City Asian Handicap (MAN 3 – 0 SHE).
