Manchester City simply must win today at the King Power Stadium | OneFootball

Manchester City take on Leicester City later today at the King Power Stadium. The Premier League fixture is another crucial game for Pep Guardiola’s side. They will be eager to pick up all three points today against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side. But it doesn’t matter how they do it City simply must win today. Their battle to keep in touch with the battle for a top-four finish could do with the jolt that a win would provide.

As Manchester City’s poor run has extended to one win in thirteen games it has felt like you just don’t know where Manchester City’s next win is coming from. The more City play, the more the poor results have continued. What began as a blip has now morphed into something else entirely. It is now a consistent run of results that has become a pattern. Manchester City must find a victory from somewhere and today’s match at the King Power Stadium would be the ideal setting for it.

Based on City’s recent form no game is a foregone conclusion. Typically a game against a team at the bottom of the Premier League table would be seen as a formality for the Premier League champions. But that isn’t the case today. Each game is a test for Pep Guardiola’s ageing side. Today’s match will be no exception. But it’s time for City to step up today.

It could be a dogged defensive display that helps Manchester City pick up all three points. Or an inspirational performance from Erling Haaland, Phil Foden or Kevin De Bruyne could light the fuse. Perhaps the fact that it is Pep Guardiola’s 500th game as City manager may inspire his team. It doesn’t matter how Manchester simply must win today. They simply have to it’s as simple as that.
