Manchester City in recent weeks have had lots of injury troubles especially in the striking department with both Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus out.
The Citizens had played draws against Leeds and West Ham, with some questioning whether City still has what it takes as Guardiola seems to be making the worst start to a season in his coaching career.
However, City are actually unbeaten in all competitions since losing 5-2 to Leicester in the second Premier League game of the season.
All thanks to the solitary strike from full-back Kyle Walker against his boyhood club, Sheffield United, on Saturday, Manchester City grabbed yet another clean sheet and all three points in the bag.
They also kept Sheffield United at bay as the home side could only manage just one shot on target and three overall during the match.
With their unbeaten run, City seems to be building some momentum quietly and cannot be written off for another title-challenge this season.
