In the next match, the most challenging is Man City, because they will face Tottenham who last lost to Tottenham. This is not too good for Man City's reputation and also their position in the standings. However, Pep has said that they have evaluated it and will show a very strong Man City again. Will this really happen? I'm pretty sure with current situation and after international break, Man City will come back again, pep Guardiolla will let the club lost 5time consecutively.
Facing Tottenham again won't be a problem to Pep Guardiola because he has already played them before and he lost but this time I believe he'll get something out of this encounter when the time comes. Losing 4 in a row is like becoming a big failure to Pep and he's going to re-write his mistake, I have that feeling that after the international break Manchester City won't be as slow as they have been and they will make the EPL a bit difficult for their opponents, their midfield won't be as weak as it were with the return of KDB it will be much better after the break.
I also agree with you about Man City's revival after this international break because some of their players have returned to strengthen Man City and Pep Guardiola must have also corrected his previous mistakes so I think Man City will not continue their bad trend, against Tottenham is indeed a challenge for Man City because this club cannot be underestimated but because this match will be held at home it will be an advantage for Man City to get 3 full points.
