Manchester City will face Stoke City in the Premier League clash at the Etihad stadium on Saturday.
The Premier League is back after a brief hiatus from international football, and we have some cracking games to look forward to.
Premier League leaders Manchester City will be looking to consolidate their position at the top when they face Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
City are going through a great form under Pep Guardiola this season, and have won 10 of their last 11 matches in the Premier League.
Guardiola’s side are not only exciting to watch going forward, but they are also defending resolutely, having kept clean sheets in six of their last eight games.
Moreover, Stoke City’s away record does not boost enough confidence. They are yet to win a game away from home this season. In fact, they have failed to win 10 of their last 11 away matches in the Premier League.
Also, City have a strong record against Stoke City. They are undefeated in 18 of their last 20 games in all competitions against them.
Benjamin Mendy is a long-term absentee. Fabian Delph missed England’s qualifying games in the midweek through hamstring injury, and could miss the game.
Sergio Aguero has returned to training and the Argentine could be in contention to face Stoke. However, Vincent Kompany still isn’t fit enough to make his return to the side.
