THE FIRST WOMAN TO MANAGE A PREMIER LEAGUE GAME
Rebecca Welch made history by becoming the first woman to referee a Premier League game. This feat took place during the clash between Fulham and Burnley in the eighteenth round of the English competition, held at the Craven Cottage stadium in London.
NEW OWNER AT MANCHESTER UNITED
it has been officially confirmed: Manchester United has announced the signing of an agreement in which INEOS Chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe will acquire 25% of Manchester United's Class B shares and up to 25% of Manchester United's Class A shares.
THE RECORD CONTINUES
Chelsea, coached by José Mourinho in the 2004-05 season, is remembered as one of the greatest teams in history. During that Premier League season, they won the title with an impressive defensive record, conceding just 15 goals, setting an all-time record. With the recent 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal, this impressive record stands for another year, highlighting the exceptional defensive solidity that characterized Mourinho's Chelsea that season.
CHAMPION, TO THE PREMIERSHIP?
Premier League club Fulham and Serie A club Napoli appear to be interested in signing 24-year-old Uruguayan defender Sebastian Caceres. Caceres has previously been linked with a possible move to European soccer, and the rumors have resurfaced again. Should any of these transfers materialize, it would mark the end of his four years as a Club América player. The situation suggests a possible move for the Uruguayan player to European soccer, which could represent a new chapter in his career.
LEAVING CHELSEA IN THIS MARKET
The farewell signs are in. Trevoh Chalobah, who has starred in a season without opportunities at Chelsea, could be living his last weeks defending the colors of the London team. This information has been highlighted in the pages of the Daily Express. The possible farewell suggests that Chalobah could seek new opportunities and challenges at another club in search of more playing time and development in his soccer career.
THE WAIT IS OVER
The wait for the Premier League is over, all the action, the best goals, the best plays, the hottest controversies and the best players return to the lawns of England with the best games in the world.

Watch out for this Sheffield United player:
For this match, the player to watch will be Sheffield United's iconic center forward Cameron Archer. The British attacker is always a latent danger inside the box, whether he has the ball under his control or not, so the rival defenses must always be alert as Cameron Archer knows how to sneak between the defensive lines to get unmarked and score a goal in favor of Sheffield United.
Sheffield United's final roster:
W. Foderingham; A. Trusty, J. Robinson, G. Baldock; Y. Larouci, O. Norwood, V. Costa, J. Bogle; A. Brooks, A. Ben Slimane; C. Archer.
Watch out for this Manchester City player:
For this match, the player to watch will be midfielder Jack Grealish. The English player of the Citizens is very loved by the fans of the team and he has been in charge of giving them a couple of joys, making magic with the ball when it enters the domain of his feet, evading the rivals until reaching the small area to put a brilliant cross or a cross shot to give Manchester City the advantage in the match.
Last Manchester City line-up:
Ederson; K. Walker, J. Stones, R. Dias, N. Aké; R. Lewis, Rodri; B. Silva, P. Foden, J. Grealish; J. Alvarez.
Background:
Manchester City and Sheffield United have met on a total of 123 occasions (52 Manchester City wins, 34 draws, 37 Sheffield United wins) where the scales are tipped in favor of the Manchester City side. In terms of goals, 203 goals have fallen in favor of Manchester City, while 179 have been in favor of Sheffield United. Their last meeting dates back to the 23/24 season in Premier League matchday 3 where Manchester City beat Sheffield United 1-2.
About the Stadium
The Etihad Stadium is the home stadium of Manchester City Football Club and is located in Manchester, England. The stadium was inaugurated in 2003 under the name "City of Manchester Stadium". Originally, it was built to host the Commonwealth Games in 2002. After the games, the stadium was adapted for soccer and became the home of Manchester City. The Etihad Stadium has a capacity of around 53,000 spectators, making it one of the largest soccer stadiums in England. In 2011, the stadium was renamed Etihad Stadium due to a sponsorship deal with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates. Such sponsorship deals are common in soccer and contribute significantly to club revenues.
They are in contention for relegation
On the other side of the coin, Sheffield United have different obligations and a more complicated outlook unlike City. To begin with, Sheffield United arrives to this match obliged, in need or perhaps in urgent need of points as they are currently in the red zone of the general table, also, there is no improvement in the collective soccer of the Blades, so the hopes of getting out of the relegation zone and that the teams close to the last three places in the table have a setback are reduced as the matchdays go by. The mission is clear at the moment, win as many games as possible and hope for a miracle to save them at the end of the campaign.
A climb back up the table
Manchester City returns to the Premier League as the reigning world champions after winning the FIFA Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia against Fluminense, so now Pep Guardiola's side will have to focus on taking three points in every Premier League matchday as Arsenal and Liverpool have tightened up the pace and have seriously entered the race to lift the coveted trophy of the best soccer league in the world at the end of the campaign, However, should they fail to take advantage of these early/late season commitments, Manchester City could be saying goodbye to their monarchy in England as the excessive fixture load in the final part of the season could take its toll on them.
The adventure continues
The beginning of the 2023-24 campaign in the Premier League has already passed and now with a stretch of the road already traveled, the teams are preparing to close the year in the best way with the objective of resuming a convenient rhythm that allows them to dream with great objectives and illusions in the face of the final part of the season in the first six months of next year. Likewise, little by little, it is beginning to become clear which teams will fight for the Premier League crown, which teams will seek a place in the European competitions and which teams will experience the drama of not being relegated at the end of the campaign.
Kick-off time
The Manchester City vs Sheffield United match will be played at Etihad Stadium, in Manchester, England. The kick-off is scheduled at 10:00 am ET.
