COME ON, CITY!

Welcome to the Etihad!

Manchester City continue their Premier League campaign today, and while it's hard to forget about the win over Barcelona, we just have to. Middlesbrough are in town, they are a dangerous team with a very good coach, and City have to pick up a good victory to stay on top of the table and not worry about Liverpool and Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola will certainly look to encourage his men to prove that the Barça win wasn't a one-time thing, that City are good enough to compete with the best in the world, and because of that are good enough to beat teams like Boro, who are tough to play against, but are no Barcelona.

Can City head to the international break with three wins in a row and a lot of confidence? We will find out.
