Manchester City Team News
In the previous match of the Premier League, the players of Manchester City defeated Everton away from home 0:3. They scored the first goal in the 37th minute when Riyad Mahrez played past Ilkay Gundogan, and he put the ball into the net. They doubled their lead just two minutes later with Erling Haaland’s goal. The final result was set by Ilkay Gundogan with the second goal of this game in the 51st minute.
They are currently in the first position in the table with 85 points won, four more than Arsenal, but also one game less, and only one positive result in the league until the end of the season separates them from the title in the Premier League. In the FA Cup, they qualified for the final by defeating Sheffield United 3:0, and their next opponent in the cup will be Manchester United. In the previous 22 games in all competitions, they did not record a single defeat, with four draws and as many as 18 victories.
The only player who is questionable for the next match due to a hamstring injury is Nathan Ake, but Pep Guardiola said that the Dutch representative is much better and that he may be in the competition for the squad. All other players will be available to the Spanish expert and are ready to welcome the duel against Real Madrid.
After starting on the bench in the previous game against Everton, De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva, and John Stones are fully ready to return to the starting 11. Also, the Citizens’ attack should be led by Erling Haaland, but it remains to be seen.
Real Madrid Team News
In the last round of LaLiga, Real Madrid defeated Getafe at home 1:0. The only goal of the game was scored by Marco Asensio assisted by Lucas Vasquez. According to all statistical parameters, the home team was the better rival and deservedly celebrated in this match.
They are currently second in the league with 71 points, 14 more than fifth-placed Villarreal, and have secured their place in next season’s Champions League. In the cup final, they defeated Osasuna 2:1 and won the second trophy this season. In the last six matches in all competitions, they recorded three wins, one draw, and two losses.
The only concern for Carlo Ancelotti before the next match with Manchester City is Eduardo Camavinga, who limped at the very end of the last game against Getafe. However, he should be ready and available to the Italian specialist.
David Alaba and Karim Benzema are also fit and likely to be in the starting line-up, while Eder Militao and Daniel Carvajal are also expected to be on the pitch from the first minute. But the only dilemma is whether Rodrygo will be in the starting 11, and that remains to be seen.
