MCI vs MUN Match Preview
Manchester City’s recent slump shocked the football world as they had a rare seven-match winless streak, including four consecutive defeats in the Premier League. After spending November month without winning any game, the Sky Blues won a PL game and drew another PL game before losing their latest UEFA Champions League match away game against the Italian Serie A club Juventus.
Manchester United are still having a hard time. Initially, the Red Devils handled very well after the managerial changes, as they had an undefeated streak in the PL for four matches (with two wins and two draws). However, they lost their last two PL fixtures against the hosts Arsenal and the visitors Nottingham Forest.
