Man City unveils Aguero statue on 10-year anniversary of ‘Agueroooo!’

One of the greatest moments in Premier League history has been memorialized outside of the Etihad Stadium

Manchester City unveiled a statue of Sergio Aguero on Friday, the 10-year anniversary of one of the most iconic moments in Premier League history.

Aguero’s goal deep into stoppage time against QPR saw City win the title in the most dramatic fashion possible, a moment that was enhanced by Martin Tyler’s famous “Aguerooo!” goal call.

Aguero’s goal secured City’s first league title in 44 years. The club has since gone on to win four more and sits two wins away from winning yet another title this season.

“Truthfully, it is a very beautiful thing for me, to see myself 10 years ago is very moving,” Aguero, who was forced to retire last year due to a heart condition, told City’s official website upon seeing the statue.

“In those 10 years I was able to win a lot of trophies and was able to help the club become one of the most important in the world.

“I am very grateful to the club for making this statue in recognition of my football career in Manchester. It is something very special.”

Prediction

Manchester City 2, Chelsea 1

Moneyline (ML)

MAN CITY (-125) has been on a mission since returning from the three-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The team has posted a pair of clean sheets against Burnley (5-0) and vs. Arsenal (3-0). Now, it will try to upend Chelsea (+310), which lurks fourth in the EPL table, but 12 points back of second-place Man City. It won’t be a blowout at Stamford Bridge in Fulham, but Man City will come away with three points on this business trip.

MAN CITY TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+210) is a value play. Man City is not going to keep rattling off clean sheets, and The Blues are easily the most potent offense it will have faced since returning.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 3.5 (-200) will cost you a pretty penny, but this one shouldn’t see more than three goals. Man City has been locking it down on defense, while Chelsea yielded just one goal to Aston Villa in its only game since the return. Plus, Chelsea has coughed up only one goal in the past three matches across all competitions. In addition, Man City lost striker and leading goal scorer Sergio Aguero (16 goals, 24 matches) to a knee injury Monday vs. Burnley – manager Pep Guardiola said after the game that it “doesn’t look good.” Unfortunately for Man City, Aguero is expected to miss the remainder of the EPL campaign.

Watch Manchester City vs. Manchester United Live Online.

The 179th Manchester derby takes place on Saturday when hosts City hopes to oust rivals United and cut the 11-point gap against Premier League leaders Liverpool. The Citizens have triumphed in each of their last two meetings with the Red Devils, but Pep Guardiola’s side has won just two of its last four league games heading into Week 16.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United 

When: Saturday, December 7

United lost 3-1 when it last traveled to Etihad Stadium in Nov. 2018, when Anthony Martial scored the visiting side’s only goal from the penalty spot. 

Martial missed Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur after he suffered an injury in the recent 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday that Martial could be involved in the derby, but wasn’t sure yet if he would start. 

Paul Pogba is still nursing an ankle injury and won’t return for United. Guardiola said in late November that it would be a miracle if Sergio Aguero regained fitness in time to be featured, while winger Leroy Sane and centre-back Aymeric Laporte remain long-term absentees for City.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is also a doubt, meaning Guardiola could retain Angelino at left-back after benching Benjamin Mendy in favor of the Spaniard during the recent 4-1 win over Burnley.

This will be Solskjaer’s first visit to Etihad as the United manager. He’s hoping to revive some of his side’s confidence in the backyard of its noisy neighbors. Prior to its loss at Etihad last November, United was unbeaten in three visits to this ground and won two of those.

Liverpool will relish the thought of third-place City dropping more points after the team recently drew 2-2 at Newcastle United, allowing Leicester City to establish breathing room in second place.

The mid-week win over the Spurs saw United climb up to sixth, going undefeated four league matches in a row for the first time this season. It also marked the team’s first run of more than two wins this term. That being said, the result against Jose Mourinho’s side was also its first win in four games. 

City has dropped just four Premier League points at home this season and is unbeaten in six at Etihad, but United hopes the derby occasion will give it the might to topple the hosts.

Frank Lampard has Chelsea fans in dreamland with how he’s turned the club’s fortunes around in such a short period of time since taking over as manager. Even more impressive is that he’s done it all while the club is under a transfer ban. Implementing young talents such as Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Christian Pulisic has done wonders for the team’s form and long-term sustainability. It could be argued that the transfer ban forced this infusion of youth that likely wouldn’t have happened if Chelsea could splash the cash on top transfers like they usually do. The Blues actually come into this big matchup in third place, one point above City. 

The international break has left Manchester City alone with its thoughts after a demoralizing 3-1 loss to Liverpool. With Liverpool now nine points ahead in the title race, Man City cannot afford another misstep or it may fall out of the chase altogether. Injuries to its backline have really hurt City. Aymeric Laporte’s long-term absence from the lineup has had a lasting effect on the entire team. Goals haven’t been an issue for City’s extremely talented squad, but conceding them at the wrong times certainly has. A loss to Chelsea would be the worst case scenario for this side. Can the team withstand the pressure and get the job done?
