Manchester City regains color with its 4-1 success against West Ham on Saturday and is 3 points from the podium. But despite their victory, Pep Guardiola’s men conceded their 27th goal of the season in the Premier League, a defensive fragility linked to a defense which makes a series of errors and a goalkeeper duo far from being at the top level. While Ederson suffered a series of injuries but also problems, Stefan Ortega stole his place but is no more reassuring than the Brazilian. The Citizen leaders could recruit an 18-year-old nugget to solve this defensive problem.
1 goal conceded in 8 matches
According to information from the Sun, the SkyBlues are monitoring Matthew Young, Sunderland goalkeeper and loaned this season to Salford City in League Two (English D4). Trained with the Black Cats, he has shined for his club since his debut on November 30 against Cheltenham in the 64th final of the FA Cup. The young English goalkeeper has conceded only one goal in eight appearances and has achieved an astonishing run of six consecutive clean sheets. Salford have, with AFC Wimbledon, the second best defense in the championship since his arrival and are second in the standings. He will be able to show all his qualities since he will face City on Saturday evening in the 32nd final of the FA Cup.
