Losing a lot of energy this season is not an obstacle for them to continue playing consistently. At least the chemistry must be maintained by all the Manchester City players, even though they have not dominated all the matches this season, at least they can get a trophy this season for the title race this season, it looks like Manchester City still have the opportunity to achieve it, even though sometimes they lose consistency in every match or the players experience fatigue in some of their important matches, as defending champions this season.

It may take a few weeks more for him to recover from his injury. Nkuku has also got the same injury like de bruyne and he has been making an announcement about his comeback in the training but the club needs to make sure he was on his best condition.
De bruyne needs to be observed even longer and it may take a few weeks or months depending on how good his condition. I hope he will be coming back again as soon as possible. I really miss him to see his gameplay in the field.
Having de bruyne will make manchester city to get its best performance again. No doubt that if many players in city were waiting for his comeback. The comeback of de bruyne will have become a key for city to get UCL again.

You are correct about Manchester City; prior to DE Druyne's absence, we stated that his absence was making the team's performance seem a little off. Now that Haaland is the second player, we can be confident that every player on the pitch has an advantage of their own, especially the midfield player and the striker position. Without the midfield player, the striker will not enjoy his position, and without the stricker, the front position will not be good, making it harder to score goals. Many claim that Alvarez is superior to Haaland, but I don't think that's the case because Haaland and Alvarez perform differently. Haaland is a very quick goal scorer, but he struggles to move with the ball, whereas Alvarez is not as skilled as Haaland and can move with the ball. For this reason, I don't think it's necessary to compare the two strikers for Manchester City.

I've heard that De Bruyne has recovered from his injury and is playing with the team. I believe that Manchester City's performance will improve with the return of Haaland, but I'm not sure that Manchester City will win the league title this season because there are a lot of teams ahead of them that will not let Manchester City pass them, especially Liverpool, who will find it extremely difficult to lose their current position in the league.

Given their endless budget, it seems strange to me to suggest that they are "saving energy" in order to do a rebuild. Guardiola always carried out endless restructuring in all the clubs where he was the head coach (despite the fact that in all three clubs he initially had a golden champion squad) and became the first coach to spend 2 billion on transfers. His strategy is quite simple: I have a top team, what should I do next? Buy stars: Ibrahimovic, Villa, Haaland, an endless list of defenders (they always cost less than strikers, but in fact these were top transfers). Then, if the purchase turned out to be successful, then we leave it in the team, if it is unsuccessful, then we sell and buy the next star.
Moreover, even FFP does not greatly interfere with this strategy, because if we already have a billion “in circulation,” then in order to make a large purchase we only sell “something unnecessary” and the balance of purchases and sales converges.

City's problems this season revolve around the injury of KDB, a key player who was never hyped like other tops and was not close to the Ballon d'Or, but seemed to be the key to City's success. There are rumors that at the end of this season KDB may leave for Saudi Arabia and I would fully support such a decision - he has already won everything he could at the club level, it’s time to earn "over" money, after all, in Saudi Arabia there may be a saturation of the necessary ones them players in a couple of years and contracts will no longer be so unreasonably fat.

As for this season, I don’t agree about concentrating on the Champions League - it’s irrational, since the playoffs are random and even Villarreal can knock out Bayern. Guardiola will try, as always, first of all to win the Premier League, and if there is failure in the Champions League, he will, as always, say that it was “bad luck.”

This reminds me of Kante when Chelsea were had one of the most difficult season of the year, that's was last year by the way. They fault what is available, changes Graham Potter to Lampard and the hope Kanye return but man was not having it in a great shape and that was when I learnt that when you are inactive for long period of time, it's affect your productivity. Club sold him and are still nothing has change ever since then and KDB might just be another example but the difference is that Manchester City are not in their worse phase right now.

I think Manchester City must have missed that great guy, KDB was a game changer, no way Haaland will have most of those goals without his assist and that's why he was included among the top selected players to win the Balon D'or, he was top 4 among the list. But I believe his return is going to have an effect on what is going on the ground with the situation of Manchester City, Haaland can't not progress without him on the midfield.

Looking at the mid-season for Manchester City this season and last season, it doesn't look much different because it was like that before, but it's a little strange to see the situation of Manchester City, which cannot win full points and performance is not too stable in the last few matches because usually they can always get back in good condition despite the defeat or draw that was previously obtained.
But even so I think this is still normal in the conditions that Manhchester City are currently in several competitions so they must also think about priorities first and still think that the EPL is still quite far away because we are still in the middle of the season.

KDB has indeed been said to be recovered and has started training with some of his colleagues but for Haaland I still can't say he is as fit as before especially Pep has also said that they still won't be played for the Club Word Cup final in 3 days which indicates that KDB and Haaland are still kept so that the situation doesn't get too bad for them and will be played when they are 100 percent ready but by looking at the situation now then we know that sooner or later good news will come to Manchester City especially with the return of the maestro in their midfield who has been absent for about 3 months.

It's still not easy to predict matches in tournaments like this because after all, for matches in this EFL CUP sometimes teams also not play the same as in the Premier League game play. Therefore, although Liverpool remains the favorite in this match but yes, I personally am not entirely sure Liverpool will win, whether it will only end in normal time or through extra time or a penalty shootout.

In addition, that in fact this weekend Liverpool will play against Arsenal in next match in the Premier League. With a schedule like that then yes, I personally don't believe Liverpool will mobilize all their best abilities players in the match against West Ham in this EFL CUP match. Because yes, of course Liverpool will prioritize being able to play well against Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend and if the scenario is like that, then the possibility West Ham has a chance to win.

This is a development for Nottingham Forest. Am really happy about this appointment of Nuno Espirito as their head coach. The man has good knowledge about the Premier league and he knows how competitive the league is. He has good players at his disposal that can really turn things around for the club.

Liverpool have become more confident of winning the EPL title this season. There's nothing wrong on this path because the Reds are in formidable form and winning is important for them to continue topping the EPL table. There are important matches to watch out for. I'm not going to missed out of these important matches this weekend, going to bet on the club's I'm confident about winning so easily. Liverpool will hosts the Hammers on Anfield ground this weekend. Jurgen Klopp prepared himself and his team ready to take on the big clubs while David Moyes will plan for solid formations to use against the Reds.

I think it is very appropriate to choose Nuno Espirito because he has previous coaching experience in the EPL with teams like Spurs and Wolves. This experience can be a valuable asset in facing challenges at the highest level of English football.
In my opinion, Nuno Espirito has the ability to adapt his playing style to the strengths and weaknesses of his team,
and I am confident that with his experience, Nuno Espirito can overcome the challenges and demonstrate his abilities as a coach at Nottingham. Time will be the determining factor, and the results will provide a clearer picture of whether this decision can be considered the right one or not.

Nottingham has just appointed a new coach to navigate the remainder of this season's competition and he is Nuno Espirito who replaced Steve Cooper who was fired some time ago. Nuno Esperito was previously the former coach of a Saudi league team, namely Al-Ittihad, and since being fired he has now started coaching again at an EPL team. Nuno Espirito doesn't have much experience, but he has previously managed other EPL teams such as Spurs and Wolves. This is a comeback for him to be in the EPL competition and his task is of course to save Nottingham from reaching the relegation zone this season.

As we know, Nottingham is slumped in 16th position and is closer to the relegation zone and it is hoped that the arrival of Nuno Espirito can bring Nottingham to victory to finish in a safe position this season. Despite the fact that it is very difficult considering the competitive level of the teams in the EPL is extraordinary, Nottingham must be able to survive and start something new in the EPL next season. Do you think this is the right decision to appoint Nuno Espirito as the new coach of Nottingham?

Manchester City has a shot this season, in my opinion. Haaland and De Bruyne's absence has been detrimental, but they're allegedly back on the field, which is encouraging. I dont underestimate De Bruyne's injury. Yes, hamstring injuries are hard to heal, and it may take time for him to go back to full strength. However, I believe in top players' tenacity and City's adaptation under Guardiola.

Haaland should be back on track soon, running on all cylinders. Liverpool and Arsenal are hot, but City is still in the title race. They have a tendency for comebacks, and with important players returning, the standings could change during the season.

The English have one game after another, and many teams have a busy schedule. Players can not withstand such a pace, which means that the game will be mostly slow and with a minimum of chances near the goal. I assume that the teams will score no more than one goal. The main time may end in a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. The outcome of the match will be decided in a penalty shootout.

I think part of Man City problem this season is partly due to bad transfer policy and poor new signings, they let off some of their key players like Mahrez, Gundogan, Laporte, even palmer while Kevin DeBruyne injury also affected the team while their new signings hasn't live up to expectations the likes of Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes are just average players except Doku who had so far been impressive, I doubt if they would be able to retain the three trophies they won last season with this average performance, so far they had lost 3 EPL matches this season and drew as some of the matches thus allowing Liverpool and Arsenal to extend their points above them.on the table.

Injury at some point posed some challenges at Manchester city and I think they are currently fixing it and will soon be back with their form just like they were at the beginning of the season, guardiola isn't a coach that will allow any of the present situations to deprive him of winning, he's a very ambitious person and will definitely stop at almost nothing to get something out of this season.

Recently there have been news of Kevin de bruyne retuning from injury so I think that will also be a big boost to Manchester city too because his presence means a lot to the team. Manchester city is currently 4th on the table and five points away from the table top which I feel they can possibly cover up in little time. Arsenal and Liverpool appears to be in a serious marathon to the top and if they are able to continually maintain the form, they are definitely going to be the best contenders for the league title this season.

Why comparing Ten Hang and Guardiola, I don't even see any point comparing both, Guardiola is not too perfect same as Ten Hang concerning the Manchester city performance it's not too late but the problem here is we don't expect Liverpool and Arsenal to be sleeping while Manchester city top the table, like Arsenal is on fire same as Liverpool but they could not win their previous match against united but that doesn't mean it's over, the issue with Haaland and his team Haaland is not that special in my opinion, if you're really pointing Haaland in this situation then you're trying to say the full city boys can't do anything without Haaland. I don't really know what's wrong with city boys but they should sit up, the chances of Manchester city winning the next round in champion league is very high cause their opponent is not even a strong team so they're winning.

But I think this club's performance will improve again in the second half of the season. Because currently even De Bruyne has been training last Monday and today. But Haaland still doesn't seem to be able to participate in training based on the news I read. Currently Man City is in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. And is preparing to compete in the Club World Cup Final. (Sourch)  But in the final match, Bruyne and Haaland will still be absent. But because they are going there, it is an important signal that they are being prepared to compete in the Premier League next week. Because for the current week it looks like Man City will postpone the match first. But I'm sure that in the match against Everton De Bruyne and Haaland will definitely be ready to play.

Kevin De Bruyne's post on X.com he has started training with his squad, so it is certain that the recovery will be so fast even though there is no confirmation from Pep Guardiola.

If he misses the whole season I don't think so, maybe he will be back soon and maybe in the second half of the season we will see Kevin De Bruyne perform again. Hopefully.

De Bruyne's position has been filled by Alvarez who performed quite nicely, he has done his midfield duties but when Haaland was injured he was positioned as a striker but after Haaland returned he would return to the midfield position.

I don't know for sure if Manchester City will be a player in the upcoming transfer market, there are still no concrete rumors, of course Pep Guardiola seems to be preparing for it.

So far even if Manchester City fails to win the Premier League trophy, Pep Guardiola position will still not be shaken  and will be replaced so quickly. Manchester City gave Pep complete freedom to manage this team. Unless Pep himself resigns. But returning to the current  season there are still many opportunities open for the Citizen. If we  look at some time ago KDB has also started training again which is certainly good news  because his return to the main squad will definitely be full of great ambition to restore the club's ideal performance. It cannot  be denied that  Manchester City has experienced setbacks Haaland does not appear to play much of a role there is no sharp supply, it can be concluded that Manchester City is not as strong as when Gundogan and Mahrez were there.

Manchester City have won the EPL, the Champions League and the FA Cup. The team spent a lot of effort to make this treble. So this season, they will most likely save their energy for rebuilding. And City will most likely focus on winning the Champions League. I expect Manchester City to recover for next season and they will once again fight for the championship in the EPL.
