Prediction: 0-3
Man City
Buoyed by a Boxing Day win over Leicester City, Manchester City will look to retain top position when they take on Brentford on Wednesday evening. Kevin De Bruyne impressed in the crushing of Brendan Rodgers’ troops, and, no doubt, he is going to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Gabriel Jesus is pushing for a start, while Kyle Walker is back after recovering from coronavirus. Rodrigo should be fit for the match, while Ferran Torres remains in the recovery room.
The Bees, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Brighton, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Wednesday’s clash. David faces Goliath in London; therefore, anything but a routine away win would be a major surprise. All Fosu, Dasilva, Ajer, Zanka, and Goode are sidelined with injuries, while Norgaard is out of contention through suspension. Bryan Mbeumo should be fit for the match despite limping off with injury in the Boxing Day defeat.
Highlighted Player (Pontus Jansson):
Sweden international defender Pontus Jansson started his career at a local club Arlovs Bl before moving to Swedish giants Malmo in 2006. Three years later the talented centre-back was given his first-team debut, off the back of a highly successful season which saw his pick up a prestigious Academy Player of the Year award.
During his five-year stay with Malmo Jansson went on to play 98 league matches, score 6 goals and impose himself as a commanding presence for his club. A ball-playing central defender who likes to keep things clean and simple, Jansson boasts impressive composure and never backs under pressure. The Swedish defender was plucked by the Serie A side Torino in 2014 where he failed to make his big international break.
Three years into his stay in Italy – and a season-long loan at Leeds United after – Pontus Jansson moved to Elland Road on permanent basis. His work-rate, great positioning and impressive physicall ability made him one of the hottest properties in the summer of 2018 with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and other Premier League sides expressing interest in high services, but Jansson opted to remain at Leeds and work under Marcelo Bielsa.
Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
