Why you should back Manchester City
City enter Sunday’s match on a roll. The Citizens are unbeaten in their last 30 matches across all competitions, which is a club record. They also are unbeaten in their last 18 Premier League matches. The club has not lost since a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Dec. 6.
In addition, Phil Foden is a world class midfielder who is in the midst of the best season of his career. The 23-year-old ranks second on the team and seventh in the Premier League in goals, a career-best 20. He also has seven assists, which also is a career-high and is tied for second on the team. In Thursday’s 4-0 victory against Brighton, he scored twice. See which team to pick here.
