Can Manchester City fix what’s broken with the help of Club World Cup?

The reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City, are in Saudi Arabia looking to add the FIFA Club World Cup to their collection of trophies. However, their grip on the domestic crown is under threat, as they have shown signs of vulnerability in the first half of the season. Despite their struggles, City remain heavy favorites in Jeddah, but their recent form raises questions about their chances in the Club World Cup.

Manchester City arrived in Saudi Arabia in search of adding the FIFA Club World Cup to their list of achievements, but their dominance in England is now being challenged. As they prepare to face Urawa Red Diamonds in the semi-final, City find themselves behind Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa in the Premier League standings. Their vulnerabilities have been exposed in the league, with late goals and a reduced possession percentage. Despite their struggles, City are still considered favorites in the Club World Cup, with history favoring European teams. The question remains whether their competition in Saudi Arabia will be able to capitalize on City’s current form.
