Manchester City have always won in the last nine matches in the 2020-2021 Premier League. Not surprisingly, Man City currently sits at the top of the 2020-2021 Premier League standings with a collection of 47 points, two points ahead of Manchester United in second place.
The point distance from Man United can be far away because Man City has two matches to save, namely the matches against Liverpool and Everton. The match against Liverpool will take place at Anfield Stadium on Sunday (7/2/2021).
Apart from Sergio Aguero, Nathan Ake and Kevin De Bruyne who are injured, Man City coach Josep Guardiola can play all of his best players.
The latter is the captain of Man City. Slowly the Man City squad can escape from Kevin De Bruyne’s dependence. It is proven that in the last three matches without the Belgian passport midfielder, Man City always wins!
In succession, Man City won 5-0 over the WBA, overthrew Sheffield United 1-0 and beat Burnley 2-0. Kevin De Bruyne’s absence can be replaced by other players to the fullest.
Of the Man City midfielders, Ilkay Gundogan’s performance has stood out the most since De Bruyne was injured. In the last three matches, the Turkish midfielder has scored two goals and one assist.
Actually, before De Bruyne was injured, Gundogan had already shown off. Recorded in the 10 most recent matches in the 2020-2021 Premier League, Gundogan is Man City’s top scorer with a collection of seven goals!
Gundogan’s goal collection exceeds that of Man City forwards like Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus. So the conclusion is, does Man City no longer need De Bruyne’s services?
Its merit can be seen in the Liverpool vs Man City match. If the Man City squad loses creativity when brought together by a team at a level like Liverpool, it is a sign that they are not ready to leave De Bruyne.
However, if the opposite alias Man City is able to dominate and win the match, this is a sign that Manchester Blue is ready to be left by De Bruyne. Even so, there is little chance of seeing De Bruyne leave the Etihad Stadium any time soon. Because his contract with Man City still remains until June 30, 2023.
