Over recent matches, Manchester City have begun to resemble themselves at their best. They haven’t been the free-flowing side that we’ve been accustomed to seeing, but they have regained control of matches in recent weeks. The second half of their 5-2 win over Crystal Palace showed this. During their 2-nil win over Everton at Goodison Park, Pep Guardiola’s side were determined to control proceedings. They did that to a degree and picked up a vital three points against Everton.
How Pep Guardiola sets his team up for tonight’s match will be something to watch for before kickoff.
