It looks like Manchester City for this season only have targets for the Premiere League and the Champions League, considering that Manchester City's previous match in the EFL Cup match did not play its key players until they were eliminated in the event. It looks like Manchester City will only focus on the two highest tournaments, so for this match in the Champions League, of course Manchester City has better preparation and of course has more priority.
Because after all, Leipzig is also not a weak team, so it's only natural that Manchester City must have even better preparations. Because if we consider that Manchester City's performance at this moment is also not entirely good, but hopefully with a great squad and getting good rest and recovery it will give a good final result for Manchester City in the Champions League.
This is the right strategy, because it is very difficult to win in all tournaments, so you need to set priorities and, of course, Guardiola will focus on the most prestigious tournaments. In the Premier League, so far, the prospects are not very good, Arsenal are confidently leading, gradually increasing the lead. And if City lose points again today against Manchester United, it will almost certainly mean that they will not be able to win the Premier League. Leipzig will not be a difficult opponent for City in the Champions League.
The Premier League is always a very uncertain and difficult competition until the very end, and even if Manchester City loses to Manchester United, it would be too early to declare the champions.
This is actually a big handicap for all English clubs in European competitions, because their players have much more difficult and tiring matches than, for example, Bayern, Real or Barcelona players.
Manchester City does not have the luxury of being able to rest its players during the season, like some other clubs, and maybe this is the reason why they fail to achieve the desired results and finally win the Champions League at the end of the season.
Of course, the Champions League is the strongest competition in the world, and for the final victory you need a bit of luck as well as mental strength and self-confidence.
