Man City injury update
Man City boss Pep acknowledged that Kevin De Bruyne with a disturbing ankle injury as their battle for the Premier League title with the Reds is going on and soon any one team will be declared the champions of England.
I have 14/15 players fit and the last few games Kevin and Aymer [Laporte] play a lot of minutes. Kevin, it doesn’t look like it, but he is playing with some disturbing niggles in his ankles for the kicks he got in the last games.
Pep said in his post-match conference
Moreover, the injury of Kyle Walker and John Stones is also something that is agonizing for the defending champions as they both missed their win over Watford.
Title race between Man City and Liverpool
Earlier, Man City thumped Watford 5-1, and later on, the Reds battled to a 2-0 win in the Merseyside derby with Everton.
Furthermore, as the season is coming to an end, both the teams need their best 11 to be on the pitch and perform very well to win the titles.
Therefore, Man City and Liverpool need to push more and more every day to get what they want as both the teams are very close.
