Premier League: Manchester Derby Headlines Weekend Of Drama In England
UEFA Champions League: A derby clash between Manchester City and Manchester United at Etihad Stadium will make for a dramatic moment, with City manager Pep Guardiola facing his biggest crisis and United's new coach, Ruben Amorim, grappling with challenges. Last weekend's 3-2 home defeat to Nottingham Forest highlighted the steep road ahead for Amorim.
Man City suffered a 2-0 defeat to Juventus in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, plagued by the same sluggish attacks and defensive errors that have defined their poor form over the last six weeks, reports Xinhua. Injuries to defenders Nathan Ake, John Stones, and Manuel Akanji, along with the suspension of Rico Lewis, have left City's back line stretched thin. Meanwhile, Kyle Walker appears to be showing signs of decline.
United's struggles in defending set pieces in their loss to Forest underscore the defensive issues Amorim must address. Backroom instability isn't helping the coach settle in, but Guardiola arguably faces more pressure heading into this clash.
