Lisandro Martínez will go up against Julián Álvarez in the Manchester derby on Sunday.
It’s going to be a battle of two of Argentina’s best young players on Sunday with the international break now over. Manchester City host eternal rivals Manchester United.
Both players featured for the Argentina national team in the most recent international break and will now play against each other. Of the two, Lisandro is the most likely to start.
Cristian Romero and Tottenham Hotspur visit their eternal rivals Arsenal in the first game of the weekend in the Premier League. Alexis Mac Allister, who is also part of the Argentina team, is away with Brighton vs. Liverpool.
Marcos Senesi and Bournemouth will hope to try and get some points as they host Brentford. Manuel Lanzini and West Ham host Wolves.
In the last game on Sunday, Emiliano Dibu Martínez and Emiliano Buendía are away to Leeds United.
Hopefully, Pep will give Julian a minute to play
Tough tough match for lisandro. Man city will probably win. Good test for lisandro. We will know how will he fare against tall physical strikers. Can he manage?? We will see
He’s already pocketed 6’4” Haaland so we already know he can handle it. Tomorrows game will be about the collective performance
On the spot it’s always hard to defender 1vs1 no matter how good the defender is , has to be collective especially Haaland.
That was against Dortmund. This will be different against a terrific man city team who will control the possession and would create numerous chances. On the other hand ajax was the dominant side in that tie and Dortmund created very few chances and strangely haaland had a off night.
Now you’re mixing up your concerns.
So you’re really questioning how Licha will fare against MANCHESTER CITY, and not how “he will fare against tall physical strikers”
All the English pundits waiting with gun pointing at Martinez for this game. They will put him under microscope since he put their GOLDEN boy in cofin lately. Hope he has solid game.
