Manchester City face Stoke at the Etihad Stadium on March 8. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Pep Guardiola’s team have won four in a row in the Premier League and are on good form overall. The Citizens are up to third in the league. They’re still eight points of leaders Chelsea but playing arguably their best soccer since the opening months of the season. Sergio Aguero has been playing well since his return to the starting XI, while youngsters Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling continue to go from strength to strength under Guardiola.
City face an FA Cup quarterfinal tie against Middlesbrough on the weekend and the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie against Monaco next Wednesday. The fixture pileup could lead Guardiola to rotate his starting XI. Kevin De Bruyne, one of City’s most influential players this season, was dropped from the lineup against Sunderland last Sunday, so don’t be surprised if there are more changes.
As Stoke venture into Manchester they’re coming off of a solid performance against Middlesbrough. They’ll look to continue taking advantage of the good form of Marko Arnautovic. The attacker finished like a world class striker twice in Stoke’s 2-0 win over Boro. The performance highlighted the quality Stoke have on the ball when everything clicks in attack.
