Although Manchester City may have had their hearts broken in the Champions League by losing to Real Madrid, they will not be able to defend their title. But they still have a strong run in the Premier League.
The Blues still have one game in hand over rivals Arsenal and know they have an increasing chance of winning their fourth consecutive Premier League title this season.
Defeated Chelsea to reach the FA Cup final last weekend. As a result, Guardiola’s side have not lost at home even once in any competition since the start of December.
Scoring has also been one of their strengths since the start of the new era, with Manchester City now scoring 17 goals from their last four Premier League games.

While Erling Haaland is the favorite to win the Golden Boot in the Premier League again this season, Phil Foden is also playing a key role in helping Manchester City take the lead at the moment.
Once again, the 23-year-old star showed excellent form. He created chaos for the Brighton defence, scoring two goals in the game, taking Foden to 16 Premier League goals this season. Including being directly involved in a further 34 goals in all competitions.
It would come as no surprise that Foden will play a key role for Gareth Southgate’s England side at Euro 2024 in Germany, but even more so he should be one of the first names to receive the PFA Player of the Year award. to see if the club will finally win the Premier League.

The main referee on the field for the game will be Jarred Gillett, with the Australian being criticized for some questionable decisions this season.
He had another moment of doubt this time when giving Man City a free-kick in a dangerous position, although Phil Foden did not appear to have fouled him. Furthermore, it caused Brighton fans to be extremely displeased when Joao Pedro was poked by Yosco Guardiol and fell in the penalty area, but he did not receive a penalty.
Another thing to be frowned upon is Gillette, who is believed to be a Liverpool supporter. He also served as a VAR room supervisor at the North London derby match, although he was cheering for a rival club competing for the championship.
The decisions of the Premier League referees this season have been heavily criticized by many. Due to lack of consistency

Roberto de Zerbi has been linked with the Liverpool manager’s job to replace Jurgen Klopp, while Pep Guardiola has praised the Italian coach. Among the possible future replacements
De Zerbi did an outstanding job with Brighton, particularly in his first year leading the club into European competition for the first time in their history, finishing 6th in the league and 11th in the table
The 44-year-old has been criticized for his tactical flexibility. Back-to-back defeats against Fulham, Arsenal and, most recently, Man City have raised many questions about whether De Zerbi has what it takes to manage a top club.
