Manchester City travel to London on Sunday, aiming to keep the pressure on league leaders Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola’s side are flying high after a historic Champions League victory over Real Madrid. That win was only their second-ever triumph at the Bernabeu. Now, they turn their attention back to domestic matters.
City have been prolific in the Premier League recently. They have scored at least three goals in each of their last three matches. Furthermore, a win here would see Guardiola reach a significant milestone of 150 high-scoring victories.
Pep Guardiola is expected to stick with the core of the winning team from Madrid. However, he remains without key midfielders. Rodri, Mateo Kovačić, and John Stones are all sidelined. This leaves a gap in the engine room. Consequently, Tijjani Reijnders is pushing for a start to freshen things up.
In attack, Rayan Cherki is undroppable at the moment. He is creating chances at a record-breaking rate of one assist every 80 minutes. Therefore, he is expected to retain his place. He will likely support Erling Haaland, who scored the winner in Madrid. Jérémy Doku and Phil Foden will provide the width and creativity on the flanks.
Manchester City predicted XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; González; Cherki, Reijnders, Foden, Doku; Haaland
