There have been times this season, feeling like the luck of Man City will never return. No matter how hard Pep Guardiola and the players tried, the Green Man still could not stop himself from falling down – a cliff that they had built for the past 8 years.
However, when the time of cockroaches gradually passed, Man City started to light. Since the FIFA Days in March, the Green Man has collected 7 victories and 1 draw in all competitions. Calculating the draw with Brighton right before, this is their most impressive series since the beginning of the season – when beliefs and expectations are still high.
Of course, not all matches in this chain are easy, especially against Crystal Palace at home to Etihad. Man City was led by the opponent 2-0 and seemed unable to get up. However, the excellence of Kevin de Bruyne helped the home team reverse the flag. Since then, Man City is definitely Man City.
In recent weeks, coach Guardiola is very satisfied with the new tactical system, where his team is gradually rediscovering the familiar image without reaching the peak form. Recent victories helped Man City win tickets to the FA Cup final, and approached a position in the top 5 – eligible to attend the Champions League next season. For the first time after weeks, the Green Man could look forward instead of anxiety.
And thanks to that form, this weekend schedule offers a better opportunity for Man City. The results from competitors created the situation where the two teams right above the Green Man will face directly on Sunday, and the two teams right behind them.
If Arsenal lost points at Anfield before the Tan Vuong Liverpool, Man City could balance the score with the Gunners himself (second) if he won. And as an arrangement of fate, they will be guests against Southampton – the team is sure to relegate – on 10/5.
Even if Mikel Arteta’s army could cause Liverpool to lose the second match in a row, at least one of the two teams right behind Man City will lose points. Newcastle and Chelsea – are only 1 point behind Man City when the season is 3 rounds, will face directly at St James’ Park. If they draw, Man City can create a distance of 3 points for both. If a team lost, the distance will be 4 points for the defeat.
Nottingham Forest had an easy match at home to meet Leicester and expect to return to the victory circuit, but Aston Villa must be a guest against Bournemouth – the team is competing in the European Cup. If we have to choose a easy -to -breathe match this weekend, we will choose Forest or Man City’s schedule.
If the right to arrange an ideal round to promote hope to win tickets to the Champions League, Man City is also difficult to choose the better scenario. Although the Green Man fans will love if the home team can surpass Arsenal to win the runner -up position, the more actually, the more it will overcome many teams, the higher the chance to win tickets to the Champions League next season.
Regardless of what the above teams do, the most important thing for Man City is to win Southampton. If there are three points, they almost only need one more victory in the other two matches. A victory and a draw even guarantee the 2025/26 Champions League ticket.
After a challenging season, Man City was finally in a position that could influence the race, instead of waiting for what opponents would do. A great improvement and return of teachers and students Guardiola?
