It'll be yet another defeat when they face Sporting Lisbon away from home during the upcoming champions league fixtures between these sides. The incoming Manchester United coach will be having his last few games with Sporting Lisbon and its a chance to showcase himself against his future rivals. I'm looking up to that game to see how Pep Guardiola sets up his team. Injuries are big worries for them rn.
I don't really take injury as an excuse because even before the injuries they were not playing well since the beginning of this season. If you observe very well, they concede too much and quickly this season and always looking for a way to do come back. They are champions for God sake and should not be playing too bad using injuries as an excuse. Maintaining their standards at all odds is what make them to be champion.
I can't just imagine City playing against Liverpool like this because an heavy disgrace will awaits them. They could win or draw that game but they choose to romance the ball until they get perfect opportunity to score goals and that's not longer working again. None of the players is attempting to shoot the ball from outside box and Haaland seems to lost his usual finishing touch.
