Manchester City travel to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United without their head coach, Pep Guardiola
Paul Heckingbottom has insisted facing Manchester City is not a free hit for Sheffield United and believes a positive result could kickstart their season.
Despite the obvious gulf in squads, the Sheffield United boss is refusing to treat the game as a bonus. He wants his side to be competitive and try to make Bramall Lane a difficult place to go. Guardiola will be absent from the dugout and watching on from afar though he will be active in the match at Bramall Lane. Heckingbottom has missed matches through his own touchline bans and believes the City boss will be gutted he's absent."It's worse for the manager missing than the players performing. He won't enjoy it. I will guarantee that and he will be wishing he was there.
"We know what that feels like. The difference is this is the norm now and what we have to get used to."
