17/05/2023 Football – There is European football tonight. At 20:00, on BT Sport, is Manchester City v Real Madrid in the second leg of the tie.
17/05/2023 Football – Champions League – Manchester City v Real Madrid
In the upcoming second leg clash between Manchester City and Real Madrid, both teams have injury concerns and potential lineup changes. Let’s take a closer look at the latest updates:
Manchester City:
- Nathan Ake, the defender for Manchester City, remains a doubt for the match. His availability will be crucial for the home side’s defense.
- Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, decided to rest several key players during their 3-0 victory against Everton on Sunday. The quartet of Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, John Stones, and Bernardo Silva all started on the bench, but they are expected to return to the starting XI for the upcoming match. Their presence will undoubtedly bolster Manchester City’s attacking prowess.
- Guardiola might opt for the same lineup that started in the first leg at the Bernabeu last week. This strategy would maintain continuity and capitalize on the success they achieved in the previous encounter.
Real Madrid:
- Ferland Mendy, the left-back for Real Madrid, made his first appearance in almost two months during the weekend’s game. His return to action is a positive development for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
- However, Ancelotti is currently sweating over the fitness of three key players: Karim Benzema, David Alaba, and Rodrygo. All three players are doubts for the match after missing the 1-0 win over Getafe at the weekend. Their absence would be a significant blow to Real Madrid’s attacking options.
- Depending on the fitness of the trio, Ancelotti may choose to stick with the same starting lineup that played in Madrid. This decision would ensure stability and familiarity within the team, despite potential challenges.

17/05/2023 Football – Championship – Middlesbrough v Coventry
In the upcoming clash between Middlesbrough and Coventry City, both teams are dealing with team selection challenges and injury concerns. Let’s delve into the latest updates:
Middlesbrough:
- During the recent matchday, centre-back Dael Fry secured a place in the squad. However, key midfielder Jonny Howson was not included, raising questions about his availability for the upcoming game.
- With Howson’s absence, it is likely that Alex Mowatt will continue to occupy the central midfield position. However, if Boro’s captain passes his late fitness test, Howson is expected to be given the opportunity.
- While there may be continuity in the midfield, one change is anticipated in the starting lineup for Middlesbrough. Marcus Forss is pushing for a starting role, potentially replacing Isaiah Jones.
Coventry City:
- Coventry City’s manager, Mark Robins, has decided to maintain an unchanged starting lineup for the midweek clash against Middlesbrough. This decision highlights his confidence in the current team composition and performance.
- Unfortunately for Coventry, they will once again be without the services of Kasey Palmer, Fabio Tavares, and Callum O’Hare due to injuries. Their absence poses a challenge, but the team will look to adapt and find suitable alternatives.
