Manchester City, seeking to win the Premier League for the eighth time in a row, hope to further extend their golden spell when they meet Leicester City on Boxing Day.
Although after an impressive winning streak since the beginning of November, the champion team is now a popular candidate for the defending champions, their unstable visitors arrived at the Etihad Stadium and lost in the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
After a suspicious penalty kick, they defeated the weaker Newcastle United 4-0. Last weekend they did not concede a goal for the third consecutive time, maintaining the best defensive record in the division, conceding only 9 goals. .
The four different shooters at St. James’s Park plus the six names on the scoring list in the 7-0 victory over Z United a few days ago demonstrated Guardiola’s rich offensive talent, and he also saw that his team is eligible for a place in the Champions League round of 16.
Although the record-setting striker Sergio Aguero left in the summer and Ferran Torres is also about to transfer to the same destination, Guardiola insists that no signings are required during the winter window. Recent events undoubtedly support it. Up his point of view.
Since the last time they failed to win in the league in late October, Manchester City has scored 24 goals and was only among the top of the Premier League for the third time during the Christmas season-they have won the championship twice before.
Guardiola’s team also won their 34th league victory in 2021 by defeating Newcastle, setting a new record for the most wins of any team in the top league in the past year, so they are able to cope with the second in 2021. The team that recovered from a cup of heartbreak a month.
After beating Leeds United and scoring 4 points against Leeds United in the game against Newcastle United, there is no reason to expect Manchester City to slow down before 2022. Even if they are not in their free time, the home team can be among the opponents on the run. Get three points-the flow is the best.
Leicester City’s troubles will continue, because even if James Maddison’s recent performance has improved tremendously, it will not help them to compete with a versatile team at their best-especially considering their defensive difficulties.
