Manchester City can win the Premier League title with or without Keven De Bruyne. Liverpool, on the other hand, has excellent attackers who can produce; they can play effectively and score goals even without Salah. As a result, they may win the league. However, since Arsenal defeated both Manchester City and Liverpool this season, I will also include them in the title race. They have an impressive squad that can win the league.

Manchester City still has Erling Haaland, who is one of the best players in the English league, so I think when Kevin De Bruyne is injured and can't contribute fully on the pitch, there are still some great players who provide good passes for the attackers to execute, even though Erling Haaland has just scored a goal. in the final minutes, but at least Manchester City managed to win this match.
For Liverpool, I see that luck is on their side because the opponent they are facing is a team with not very good strength, so it is normal for Liverpool to score a lot of goals.

Manchester City still has other great players even though they cannot be strengthened by De Bruyne, but they are not able to contribute like De Bruyne, who always consistently maintains his performance. Some time ago, Manchester City performance experienced a decline due to the absence of De Bruyne name in their line-up. After he returned to strengthen the team, Manchester City performance immediately improved. Manchester City's steps will be slightly hampered in the title race if De Bruyne cannot strengthen the team, Guardiola must anticipate the worst possibility by immediately addressing the shortcomings in his team while De Bruyne is still in the recovery process.

This is very true, De Bruyne is one of the key players for the City, I have always thought that there are players who are key, like Haaland, because they are players who can solve a game at any time, but thinking about it, no one can give him the chance. victory for a Haaland to score the goals if he does not have a good point guard like De Bruyne, because practically it is as you have said, when De Bruyne was ABSENT the team did not have the best performance, and given this the things went very badly, In fact, when he returned and they are already 1 point behind Liveprool, which does not give in, I think that Pepe has been presented with many challenges and this is something normal in football, as far as I have been able to analyze this team and suqe They have many strategies, and if they continue doing well they have to follow everything just as Pep does. Until now the only coach who has been able to read all of Pep's strategies has been Mourinho, he knows him well and knows all his tricks. that Pep Guardiola applies.

This means that at any time we can see that Pep puts out a lineup that is strong enough to follow the games that come and turn out well, but it is difficult because De Bruyne is one of the midfield players. Totti's style, and that at any moment he can go down and score goals, and when we see that he is defending because that is what these types of players do.

Man City XI vs Luton: Kevin De Bruyne injury latest, predicted lineup, confirmed team news for FA Cup

Quote

Phil Foden, the goalscorer at the weekend, would most likely drop out after playing so much in recent weeks. Julian Alvarez was last time out dropped for the first time in the Premier League this season, so could come back in. Jeremy Doku and Kyle Walker joined him on the bench and will be pushing to return to the starting lineup.

Erling Haaland should keep his place while, at the back, Stefan Ortega should replace Ederson between the sticks as the cup goalkeeper.

This is something that impacts, the fact that De Bruyne is injured, it does move things in different ways for a Pep who had everything very well under control, this is something that we will always see as the best of things, in In this sense, we will see a different dynamic of plays than what we have been seeing from City. Could this affect the work they had done and achieved? It is really a problem, I see it as a problem because it moves many things, they are no longer the same ways of attacking, nor the same ways of defending, now Pepe has to resort to a much more moderate game where he has to be very careful. to do things, this is what I see with great measure every move they make, because they are about to leave the first place, and this can change everything, Liverpool for their part are doing things very well, concentrated and want come out champions, they know that they cannot give up for anything in the world and that is what has them on edge, therefore it is very exciting.

Although in my personal opinion I would strongly bet on a liveprool because I see them as more than motivated, I see them motivated and that is something that I like, not any team has so much strength, and also they are giving everything because their coach is one of The best in the world, in this aspect things can happen this way because the possible alignment shown in the article is not bad at all, so it is up to the master to decide what is happening, of course this is what we can see so far This is speculating.

With Liverpool in League Cup final action on Sunday, the tightest of title races was squeezed further as City edged to a 1-0 victory at Bournemouth to cut the gap to one point.

Arsenal showed again they are a force to be reckoned with as they outclassed Newcastle United 4-1 -- taking their goal tally from the last three leagues games to 15.

Liverpool have 60 points with champions City on 59 and Arsenal on 58, all three teams having played 26 games. It is the closest three-horse title race in the Premier League for 10 years when Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea’s battle went to the wire.

The gap between the leading three to United was evident again as Fulham won at Old Trafford for the first time in more than 20 years after Alex Iwobi’s stoppage-time goal earned them a surprise 2-1 victory.
