Following the international break, a huge Premier League encounter pits Manchester City against Liverpool.
Everything appears to be going well for Manchester City all of a sudden.
In the Premier League, they’re enjoying themselves. since they normally are at the top of the pile. Not to add that, with two games remaining, qualification for the Champions League knockout stages has already been guaranteed. You couldn’t ask for a much better start to a season, considering City hasn’t even approached their brilliant peak.
However, this season’s weakness has been exposed with a loss to Arsenal and a tie with Chelsea. Pep Guardiola’s team is defeatable. Liverpool has been unmatched in their ability to defeat City in recent years, with the possible exception of Tottenham. That’s the person who will be next, not a slow, steady return to duty.
Ahead of the crucial game, City has a long injury list, which exacerbates the situation. In addition to John Stones, who has been out for a while, Kevin De Bruyne, Mateo Kovacic, Mathues Nunes, Nathan Ake, Ederson, and Sergio Gomez have all lately been added to the list of casualties.
Although the exact number of significant injuries and players who will be sidelined are still unknown, it is unsettling to think about so many unanswered questions and the possibility of them all being sidelined. Guardiola intentionally prefers a small group, yet in these exceptional circumstances, a team’s weaknesses may surface.
You can only imagine how terrified everyone was last week when Rodri pulled out of a Spain game due to “discomfort.” All over Manchester’s blue side, hearts must have been in mouths.
