Man City’s February Challenge:
February is shaping up to be a gruelling month for City, with key fixtures against Arsenal and Liverpool sandwiching a packed schedule. Pep Guardiola’s squad, plagued by injuries, needs to find form fast.
Currently, the Cityzens trail league leaders Liverpool by eight points, with the Merseyside club still holding a game in hand. A string of poor results, including just one win in their last nine matches across all competitions, has left Guardiola’s men scrambling.
As City aim to become the first team to win five successive Premier League titles, February could very well determine their fate in the title race. Will Pep’s side rise to the challenge, or will their rivals gain the upper hand?
KNOW THIS:
February could be a pivotal month for City as they aim to close the gap on Liverpool, who currently lead the Premier League by eight points with a game in hand. City’s form has been shaky, with one win in their last nine games across all competitions, compounded by a significant injury crisis.
The champions are eyeing a historic fifth consecutive Premier League title but will need to navigate a challenging set of fixtures to remain in contention.
