A clash of the titans is expected over the weekend as neighboring rivals Man United Face off with Manchester City in an entertaining EPL clash. Man United are hoping to continue with their winning form after they managed to go 8 matches without a lose under new manager Eric Ten Hag.
City who are position two with five points behind league leaders Arsenal are hoping for a win so that they can reduce the gap between them and Arsenal by two points. United on the other hand are looking to move to position three with a win over city so that they can also bridge the gap between them and city to one point as they prepare to take on Arsenal in the following match in yet another clash under Ten Hag.
If Manchester City wins at Old Trafford, where Guardiola has six victories in nine trips, they will be two points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Three years ago, the City manager used two midfielders as false nines during a convincing Carabao Cup victory at United. Kevin De Bruyne stated that it only took the players 15 minutes to perfect the move during practice.
Guardiola is not afraid to change things up; this season, he started Joao Cancelo as a right winger for away games against Liverpool and Chelsea. He also might have another surprise in store.
‘I would like to arrive against United with the average of minutes in the legs of the players being quite similar because I have a few ideas, some thoughts, ridiculous ones against United,’ Guardiola said.
