At 20:00 Tashkent time, several matches from the 23rd round of the English Premier League will kick off. However, one of the most discussed clashes in today's program is Manchester City hosting Wolverhampton at their home ground.
Currently, the 'Citizens' (43 points, 2nd place) are going through a period where results are not as desired: instead of a series of victories, winless matches have increased. Therefore, this match is an opportunity for them not only to gain 3 points but also to regain morale and confidence. The opponent, Wolverhampton (8 points, 20th place), holds the status of an underdog.
There is another point of interest for fans: Uzbekistan national team defender Abduqodir Husanov has been included in the starting lineup for City. This means our player will be on the field from the first minutes, with significant responsibility in defense. Another intrigue is the club's new acquisition, Marc Guehi, also starting, making his debut in this very match. The biggest surprise is top scorer Erling Haaland being left on the bench: Guardiola's decision could create interesting scenarios during the game.
EPL. 23rd Round. January 24
Manchester City vs Wolverhampton
Manchester City: Donnarumma, Guehi, Husanov, Nunes, O’Riley, Rodri, Reijnders, Silva, Cherki, Semenyo, Marmoush.
Wolverhampton: Sa, Gomes, Mane, Andre, Arias, S. Bueno, Krejci, U. Bueno, Chachtua, Mosquera, Hwang.
In short, today's match offers plenty of 'content' for goals, debuts, and tactical surprises. The question now is whether City can manage the pressure at home correctly and if Husanov can justify this trust once again.
