City’s Freebie Four Could Boost Title Dreams…

Manchester City are inching closer to their usual powerhouse squad after a season-long tango with injuries. Despite being a player or two short of a defensive dream team, City fans can take a breather. Pep’s latest pet, Abdukodir Khusanov, has swooped in and won hearts quicker than you can say ‘FA Cup finals’. Even though he’s only 21, City’s title hopes are sitting atop his young shoulders, along with Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol’s weary backs.

But fear not! The cavalry, namely John Stones and Manu Akanji, are limbering up to return. Their multi-talented feet could dance between right and left, giving Rico Lewis and Gvardiol some reprieve. This dynamic duo might soon reclaim their spots faster than you can spell ‘Etihad’, avoiding any more defensive disasters in City’s busy calendar.

Meanwhile, City’s goalkeeping fairy tale hopes return with Ederson’s foot recovery. Plus, Oscar Bobb and Claudio Echeverri are lurking like mischievous sprites, ready to sprinkle their magic on the squad. Haaland’s given Bobb a thumbs-up, and Echeverri’s awaiting his spotlight moment. Can Pep’s band of merry men bring home gold without a penny spent? Stay tuned, folks!
