What you need to know:

  • Pep Guardiola's men had won just two of their opening five league games of the season and are yet to hit top gear ahead of Liverpool's visit to the Etihad next weekend.
  • The visitors dominated the game, but had just Walker's speculative shot to show for it as they again lacked a ruthless streak without a natural striker.

Sheffield, United Kingdom

Manchester City moved two points off the top of the Premier League as Kyle Walker's long-range strike was enough to see off winless Sheffield United 1-0 at Bramall Lane.
