A dress rehearsal before the big thrill. This Sunday, Manchester City travels to Ipswich for the 22nd day of the Premier League. Three days before a decisive match in the Champions League at the Parc des Princes on PSG’s pitch, Pep Guardiola’s men must first raise the bar in the Championship.
Snagged by Brentford on January 14 (2-2), the Mancuniens are only seventh in the Premier League, a place well below the club’s standings. However, a success would propel City into fourth position – qualifying for the C1 – to the detriment of Newcastle. They will be able to count on their star striker Erling Haaland, who extended this week until… 2034.
In the Champions League, the Citizens are ranked 22nd and could be in great difficulty in the event of a defeat against PSG on Tuesday. But before planning for next week’s deadlines, City must ensure the essentials and regain ground in the Championship.
The meeting between Ipswich and City can be followed this Sunday from 5:30 p.m. It will be broadcast on Canal +.
