I think that we are at the stage of the season were almost all teams area hoping for everyone in their squad to be fit because almost all competition are being decided by the result of this few matches coming up, and to be frank, no team in the world will lose someone as good as kelvin de bruyne and wouldn't feel the impact of his absence, because he is a very high quality player.
And for the Luton vs Manchester city game, though Manchester city will definitely be the clear favourite to win this one here, but if they are wise, they would actually knows that their is no easy game in the premier league, so any room for complacency will cost them dearly, especially in their quest for the premier league glory, so they have to take this kind of game very serious, for their title aspiration not to go down the drain due to complacency.
Lastly, the game against real madrid is really going to be a fascinating encounter no doubt, but for Manchester city to win that game, they have to be very watchful of counter attacks from this real madrid side, because I believe that even real madrid knows that they can't match Manchester city toe too toe at the Etihad, so they will like play more of counter attacks, considering how good they actually are in doing that.
it’s imperative for teams to have a very fit squad especially now that the race to get a league winner is this tough towards the end the season. Teams needs to keep their players up and healthy because at this point all teams wants to make sure their team is getting maximum point in matches rather than struggling with draw or probably losing matches.
For a team like Man City who are seriously in a bid for the EPL, you’ll know how important a player like KDB is in te squad especially in their race for the EPL and the UCL also. The match between Luton has been rounded and we saw a class performance from KDB though he wasn’t able to get a goal nor assist in the match.
In that match we can see how effective he was in the midfield and attack as he was able to get about 3 shots on target to his name. Now unto the next which is probably the UCL match between major contenders, Real Madrid. In the first leg, KDB was absent and now I think he’ll be able to feature in the return leg.
I think KDB will feature which is one big reason why he was rested towards the end of the match against Luton. I think having the players fit is a bog factor to win but another major factor is making use of the right tactics as that is what will help the team win matches.
