Manchester City: Deploy Milner, Play Two Up Front And Be Patient Against Bayern Munich

Manchester City face the near-impossible task of beating Bayern Munich on their own patch tonight after the Bavarians won their last outing 7-0, away from home. They top the Bundesliga table without having lost a single game in their 15 and they have also won all five of their  European games conceding just twice. All teams have weaknesses though, so here are three things that I would do to beat the Germans.

Comparing The Statistics: Aguero vs Suarez

After 15 games into the Premier League season there are two South Americans leading the way in terms of goals. Luis Suarez has scored 14 goals in his 898 minutes and Sergio Aguero has netted 12 in his 1068, so I thought that I would compare the two in other areas of the pitch and see how similar they are.

Southampton: Smother Toure, Press High Up The Pitch And Get Balls Into The Box Against Manchester City

Southampton have lost four of their last five games. Manchester City have won four on the bounce. The two meet each other at St Mary's on Saturday afternoon and it seems as though it would be a nailed-on away victory.

A Closer Look At How Yaya Toure Was At The Heart Of Manchester City's Win At West Brom

Nasri Showing Massive Improvements Under Pellegrini - The Stats

Last season saw Manchester City hand the Premier League title back to Sir Alex Ferguson and back to Manchester United, thanks to some overall dismal performances. One man who left a sour taste in the mouths was Samir Nasri, as he failed to live up to the billing of the previous season, but that has changed considerably since the start of this campaign.

6 Centre-Backs Who Manchester City Should Be Looking At To Shore Up Their Defence

Although Manchester City aren't necessarily struggling at the back this season, you can't help but feel they'd be even stronger if they had another world class centre-back to stand in when Vincent Kompany isn't available and to partner him when he returns. City do have Martin Demichelis, Matija Nastasic and Joleon Lescott, but the latter is expected to leave in January.

AVB In Or Out? Questions Over Tottenham Manager After 6-0 Thrashing

I’m sure everyone felt the sting from Sunday’s match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, no matter what team you support. City won with an outrageous final score of 6-0, with goals both in the opening as well as final minutes. So what went wrong here? Did City play brilliantly or were Tottenham out of sorts, or maybe both? It’s tough to say what really went wrong here, but something definitely was not right.

Manchester City: Play Milner, Push Toure Up The Pitch And Buy A Centre-Half To Win The League

Manchester City have been rampant at home this season, scoring 26 goals and conceding just twice, but have been let down by their shoddy away record. They have lost four of their six ties away from the Etihad and won just once, and as a result they sit six points behind leaders Arsenal.
