Manchester City's recent plight has become a hot topic of discussion in the soccer world. However, I'm not surprised that they lost against Aston Villa.
They have won just one of their last 12 games, and in their last eight Premier League matches, the winning percentage has been equally dismal. Having already lost more games this season than in any previous season, the dream of a fifth consecutive title seems to be drifting away. The gap between them and Liverpool is now 12 points.
Of City's many problems, the situation with keeper Edinson is the most problematic. Despite rumors of his desire to leave the team, the team has not given clear information about his injury, so it is clear that his position in the team is in jeopardy. Coupled with the injuries of Rubin Dyas, Stones and other backline players, City's backline is becoming more and more fragile, and the stability of the defense is being tested. So far this season, City have conceded 23 goals, while in the past four seasons, they conceded 34, 33, 26 and 32 goals in a full season respectively.
Meanwhile, Ewarton are in good form and ready for the challenge. They have lost just two of their last 12 Premier League matches, including crucial six-pointer victories over Wolves, Yeovil and Leicester City.
The story of this Merseyside team is quite dramatic. They have one of the best defenses in the Premier League and the fourth highest number of pitches in the Premier League. Leader Dyche has led the team to climb to 15th place in the league based on a solid defense. However, the offense is severely lacking, with six of their last seven league games going scoreless and only scoring three more goals than Southampton.
Although City are undefeated in their last 16 matches against EWT, with 14 wins and 2 draws, the reference value of these results has been greatly reduced given City's current sluggish form. However, City's problems in defense are exactly the weakness of EWT's offensive ability. I think this will be the key for City to win the game. As the famous soccer saying goes, goals make the difference, I predict Man City will beat EWT with their better attacking power.
