Manchester City advanced to the next round of the FA Cup on Saturday and will now shift their focus towards the Premier League. Let’s take a look at how they will be lined up against West Brom and what kind of changes Pep Guardiola might make to his team.

City left it late against Cheltenham, but came from being a goal down to get the win, and did so with a flurry in the final minutes. They have been on a great run recently and should keep that going against a team that is in the relegation zone.

Manchester City are rolling right now, pushing themselves to near the top of the table, after a very slow start to the season. Now we”ll see if they keep can keep it up, despite the loss of their best player, arguably, in midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

The big Belgian and midfield maestro has suffered a hamstring injury that could see him miss out on as many as the next nine matches. Even the most optimistic timeline would see De Bruyne out of commission for the next five Premier League matches, including two crunch clashes against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester City continue their journey in the FA Cup as they will be away to Cheltenham Town on Saturday for a 4th round clash. After their midweek win in the Premier League, can we expect to see many changes to the team for this game?

After watching the top of the table clash, the goalless draw between Manchester United and Liverpool this past Sunday, one could ask- who’s the real Premier League title front-runner? The correct answer is neither, Manchester City. With a nine game unbeaten streak, which includes seven wins, City has gone from 13th in table to 2nd, where they currently trail league leading United by two points.

They also have a game in hand on their intracity rivals. That nine game run has seen the Sky Blues concede only two goals. Indeed Aston Villa have their work cut out for them.

When Manchester City host Aston Villa tomorrow night, it will sadly be the de facto Covid Cup. No two Premier League teams have been as unfortuntate as this pair, when it comes to getting hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. City has had to play several games recently in which they were missing starters and key players due to covid.

The coronavirus pandemic has intensely struck Villa too. They had to temporarily close their facility for a few days, and this will now be their first league fixture since New Year’s Day. They now have three games in hand on most of the table.

Although he really didn’t get into specifics, nor should he really as that would be against his interests, Manchester City  manager Pep Guardiola discussed the next challenge ahead for him and his side. “A team like Palace knows exactly what they have to do. We have to be patient, find our rhythm,” the Spaniard said of his next opponent, Crystal Palace, on Sunday.

“They defend so well, we saw that against Arsenal hey were able to control much of the game. All the clubs have their ups and downs this season more than ever. Every team has four good results and then after one or two bad ones. Palace are not an exception.”

Here comes Manchester City- they’re going to be in the Premier League title race after all. In the eyes of many, they’re the current favorites. Currently, City sit third, but they have a game in hand on the two teams ahead of them and they’re just four points behind the league leading team they share Manchester with.

Most impressively, they’ve overcome a very slow start to the season and ascended the table in spite of a COVID-19 outbreak ravaging the team. Up next is a very winnable home game against south London side Crystal Palace.
