Manchester City remain perfect in the Premier League after seven matches, but they’re in need of a response in Europe after falling to Paris Saint-Germain on Matchday 2 of the league phase.
Fortunately, the Cityzens have been blessed with a ‘get-right‘ fixture against Greek outfit AEK Athens. Back fighting with Europe’s elite for the first time since 2018–19, AEK followed their slender victory over LASK with a 3–1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk’s samba stars at Stamford Bridge.
The 14-time Greek champions are unbeaten domestically after six games, but are down in fourth having drawn twice. They had their clash at the weekend with Athens rivals Atromitos postponed due to their European commitments, and it will take an almighty effort for Marko Nikolić’s side to snatch a result in Manchester this week.
Much of the soccer world is willing them on, however, given the guilty verdict that hangs over Man City’s head. The Cityzens have brought the sport into disrepute, and we remain in flux until sanctions are laid out and their appeal is heard.
Enzo Maresca will continue to operate with ignorance, focusing on the tasks at hand on the field. This is a good opportunity for the City boss to rotate after Saturday’s 3–2 win at Ipswich Town, with a trip to an improving Aston Villa looming.
