As if Manchester City’s on-field issues, which have plagued them all season, were not bad enough, they now have problems off the pitch.Ahead of the Cityzens’ next Premier League challenge at Brentford on Tuesday night, the British media is full of rumours, speculations, and news regarding the personal lives of City’s boss, Pep Guardiola and team captain, Kyle Walker.As things stand, Guardiola is apparently separating from his wife Cristina Serra after 30 years of marriage, while Walker’s wife Annie Kilner is thought to be considering a return to the England international despite previous reports of their divorce.##NAJAVA_MECA_8633323##Those non-football issues have surely affected the Manchester City duo before the clash against the Bees, which could be one of the most crucial games of the season for the defending champions.If they win, they could potentially return to those Champions League spots. A draw or a loss would extinguish all the positives registered in the past two weeks, which saw them record two consecutive EPL victories after such a long time.Interestingly, Walker and Guardiola have been under the spotlight for one more reason on the eve of the trip to Brentford. According to Manchester Evening News, the Spaniard believes his squad has enough depth to cover Walker’s soon departure in case of a lucrative offer.𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 🎥🗣️ Pep Guardiola – Kyle Walker remains in contention for #ManCity clash with Brentford#MCFC #CTID #BREMCI #PremierLeague pic.twitter.com/CnzbZacXfx— City Mad! ⚽️ 🇧🇼 (@CityMadUK) January 14, 2025 The 34-year-old defender has asked to leave the club this month as he is looking to move abroad for the final years of his career (probably to Saudi Arabia), and City is open to departure as long as they get a fair deal.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 21Tuesday 22.30: (4.85) Brentford (4.60) Man.City (1.65)22.30: (1.50) Chelsea (4.40) Bournemouth (6.50)22.30: (3.05) West Ham (3.50) Fulham (2.45)23.00: (5.40) Nott.Forest (4.00) Liverpool (1.70)Wednesday 22.30: (3.20) Everton (3.40) Aston Villa (2.40)22.30: (3.90) Leicester (3.50) Crystal Palace (1.95)22.30: (1.37) Newcastle (5.10) Wolverhampton (7.75)23.00: (1.45) Arsenal (5.10) Tottenham (7.00)Thursday 22.30: (4.00) Ipswich (3.60) Brighton (2.00)23.00: (1.30) Man.Utd.
