The “Citizens” continue to struggle in the Premier League, having squandered a lead in their 2-2 away draw against Crystal Palace last weekend. This result marks yet another disappointment for Pep Guardiola’s side, who have managed just one win in their last six league matches — against Nottingham Forest. Over this stretch, the team has suffered four defeats and drawn once.
Particularly concerning is their defensive instability: City has conceded at least two goals in five of their last six matches. This slump has dropped them to fourth place in the table, with an eight-point gap behind league leaders Liverpool, who also have a game in hand. Additionally, in the Champions League, City suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Juventus earlier this week.
Meanwhile, the “Red Devils” are also facing turbulent times, having suffered back-to-back Premier League losses. First, Manchester United were beaten 2-0 away by Arsenal, followed by a painful 3-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. This marked only the second instance in Ruben Amorim’s managerial career where his team lost consecutive league matches.
United’s current form is far from ideal: the team has failed to win eight of their last 11 league matches, earning just four draws and suffering four defeats. As a result, United have dropped to 13th place in the table, trailing the European qualification spots by six points. On the bright side, their European campaign is going well. On Thursday, United secured a 2-1 away victory against Viktoria Plzeň.
