A day surprisingly busy with the international break is just beginning.
We have the verdict of Sky Sports on the chances of Sergio Aguero to win the title of player of the PFA this season, plus "the secret weapon" of the Spurs for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League and why many clubs want the Blues to win the FA Cup.
Many things to do.
Let's start with Sky sports who use the break to look at the possible candidates of the year PFA player.
Fans of the city have made it a habit to see our players forgotten for this prize and, despite three titles in seven years, no Blue has ever won the prize.
LEGEND: What can Kun do more?
We saw Kun continuously ignored, David Silva was ignored and last season Kevin De Bruyne was left out.
The question is, why will this campaign be different?
Sky thinks Sergio is in the running – as he should be – as they say: "Aguero is one of the leading contenders at the PFA player year award. Would the Manchester City striker be a deserving winner?
"The genius of Aguero is somewhat taken for granted in the Premier League. Although he has reached the 30-goal mark in four separate seasons in Manchester City and is one of the top 10 scorers in the history of the Premier League, he has been named in the AFP year team only once and never won the title of player of the year. price.
"Could this be the changing year? Aguero seemed to face an uncertain future in City last season, but he transformed his game to fit Pep Guardiola's style and remains as clinical as ever before the goal.
"Argentina has led its title charge from the front. His controversial winner in City's FA Cup quarter-final victory over Swansea was his 28th goal of the campaign in all competitions. "
Tottenham is hoping the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 will be in their new stadium, giving them an edge over City.
The northern part of London must have a number of successful events before the match is confirmed and it will host Crystal Palace in early April. If all goes well, the Blues will be the first opposition of the Champions League a few days later.
Strong points
Football london quotes the Spurs boss saying that this could be a mbadive boost for his party.
They write: "Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino sent a strong warning to Manchester City ahead of the quarter-finals of the Champions League next month.
"The Lilywhites' award for a 4-0 aggregate victory over Bundesliga Borussia Dortmund in the eighth finals is a two-legged match against their Premier League rivals with a semifinal place to win.
"Argentina have also dreamed of a Champions League final, where they would love to play against a Barcelona team that, he said, would have too much to do for Manchester United in the quarter-finals.
"Any of the four English teams would have preferred not to face another Prime Minister, but the draw is what he is," he said (via Mundo Deportivo).
GOAL KINGS: the city tears at home (and elsewhere)
Fortress Etihad: Incredible City: City stats start the international breakthrough with the same ease as the country's most prolific scorers.
"The city is a team that has the obligation to win, but not only since the arrival of Pep with [Roberto] Mancini and with [Manuel] Pellegrini too.
And we will compete with the incentive to launch our new stadium against them and play against 62,000 people who will transmit a special energy.
'Play the final against Barça? Where do I sign ?, he added.
"He has players of the highest level, Leo Messi, who is a genius, the best in the world, and Valverde does a great job, although there are teams like City or Juventus who will also have options. because also built to win these types of competitions.
"It's a team that has been built in the last few years to win great things, but of course it has quality, although it seems to me that Barcelona is a step forward."
Now, why do the Blues have improbable fans for the FA Cup win?
Strong points
the Standard eveningtake over…
"The Premier League giants will face summer chaos if Manchester City does not win the FA Cup.
"City is already destined for the top four in the Premier League to secure its spot in the Champions League next season, and its victory in the EFL Cup means that a sixth place is also securing a place in the league Europa.
"If City does not win the FA Cup, the winners will come out of the top six. Wolves, Watford and Brighton will also remain in the draw.
"That would mean that whoever loses in the race for the top six and will rank sixth would enter the Europa League in the second qualifying round, rather than in the group stage.
"As a result, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea or Tottenham should start their season on July 25, when qualifying matches will be held.
"The only way to avoid that would be for the sixth-ranked team to win the Europa League or Champions League, which gives them a place in the group stage of the Champions League.
"Four big clubs have already been booked for pre-season summer tours, which could be seriously disrupted if they were to play a Europa League qualifying match.
"It would be a blow for the club affected because touring abroad has become a lucrative business for the big players of the Premier League in recent years."
I told you that there was a lot to do!
Even more like tomorrow …
