Man City predicted lineup vs Arsenal - Premier League

Manchester City will host the biggest Game of the 2022/23 Premier League season when title rivals Arsenal head to the Etihad on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola's in-form side are in control of their own destiny in the title race and a victory here would almost guarantee they'll get their hands on a trophy that most fans had given up on just a few months ago.

Here's how the boss could set up to secure that win.

Man City predicted lineup vs Arsenal (3-2-4-1)

GK: Ederson - The stopper will be keen to stop his countryman, Gabriel Martinelli, from grabbing the goal he needs to break the record for most goals from a Brazilian in a Premier League season.

CB: Manuel Akanji - It'll be Akanji who lines up directly against Martinelli. His agility could be key.

CB: Ruben Dias - Dias is enjoying this unconventional formation and the added protection around him has led to a return of his best form.

CB: Aymeric Laporte - Nathan Ake is a doubt with a hamstring injury so expect Guardiola to turn back to Laporte.

DM: John Stones - Midfield physicality could be key in this one and Stones' inclusion will help City win that battle.

DM: Rodri - Rodri netted in both Premier League meetings with Arsenal last season but drew a blank in February's 3-1 victory.

RM: Riyad Mahrez - After a famous hat-trick in the FA Cup semi-final, it'll be hard for Guardiola to leave Mahrez out of this one.

CM: Ilkay Gundogan - Gundogan's brilliance is starting to generate plenty of praise as City fans grow increasingly concerned that he could be on his way out this summer.

CM: Kevin De Bruyne - No club has conceded more goals to De Bruyne during his career than Arsenal, who have watched the Belgian wheel off in celebration no fewer than six times.

LM: Jack Grealish - Grealish is flying these days, boasting the kind of confidence players need for these big occasions.

ST: Erling Haaland - One goal for the 38-Game season record and three for the all-time honour. You wouldn't put it past him.

The other Suzuki signing that could transform Honda's MotoGP form

Honda was the only brand that failed to win a MotoGP race in 2022, finishing last in the world constructors' standings. The factory team, traditionally considered the paddock's biggest superpower, finished no higher than ninth out of 12 places in the teams' rankings. Meanwhile, the best-placed Honda rider in the championship was Marc Marquez in 13th, and he only scored in 10 of the 20 grands prix. Injuries that continued to plague him meant he missed eight races. Honda's negative performance last year triggered a profound restructuring for 2023 both in its rider ranks, with the arrival of Joan Mir to the factory squad and Alex Rins to the satellite LCR structure, and at its technical level. Arguably the most interesting development is the hiring of Ken Kawauchi as the new technical manager. He replaces Takeo Yokoyama, who will now be in charge of supervising the engineering staff that Honda has in Japan. Source: https://thefoxposts.com/the-othe...
