Lilywhites boss Ange Postecoglou produced some scathing comments after the defeat to the Citizens, which in turn hurt Tottenham’s rivals Arsenal and their chances of winning the Premier League title this weekend.
Postecoglou will demand a response from his players on Sunday to see who should be in his plans beyond the summer transfer window.
Tottenham have a good chance to secure a comprehensive win, against a Sheffield United side who found the step up to the top flight simply too great this season.
Sheffield United vs Tottenham
Spurs left it incredibly late, but they did eventually secure a 2-1 win over the Blades in north London earlier this season.
The South Yorkshire outfit looked like they were heading back to the Steel City with the three points, before quickfire goals in stoppage time from Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski secured a memorable comeback win in north London.
Seven of the last nine Premier League games between these sides have ended with both teams getting on the scoresheet and that trend may well continue this weekend.
Tottenham need a response after that defeat to Man City and against a United defence that have conceded 101 goals in the league this season, Spurs should run out winners at Bramall Lane even if a clean sheet proves to be beyond them.
With plenty of goals expected in the Steel City, Heung-min Son is worth looking out for in the multi-scorer market on Sunday.
While the season has ended in frustration for Tottenham after what was such a positive start to the season under Postecoglou, the forward has still had a positive individual campaign.
Tasked with playing the central attacking role after the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich over the summer, Son has scored 17 Premier League goals this term.
Those are not quite the numbers Kane produced during his time with Spurs, but it is still a strong return from the South Korea international.
Having played Sheffield United five times previously in the Premier League, Son has scored twice in his matches against the Blades.
The South Korean forward has scored two or more goals in a game twice this season and both of those matches were away from home at Burnley and bitter rivals Arsenal.
Having squandered a great chance one-on-one to net against City in midweek, Son will be determined to get back on the scoresheet on Sunday and finish this season on a positive note.
The former Bayer Leverkusen star is good value at 10/3 to score two or more goals, in a game that is likely to see Sheffield United’s season end fittingly - with a whimper.
