Manchester City kicked off the new year with a great spell in January. The Sky Blues won their two vital matches in the English Premier League against Newcastle United and Burnley, and as a result, they found themselves in second place in the table. They are five points below current league leaders Liverpool, although City have a game in hand. Meanwhile, in the FA Cup, the Cityzens won their matches in the competition’s third and fourth rounds. It’s been a good campaign thus far as they aim to retain the FA Cup crown.

This month, the Sky Blues will have a tight schedule. Over the course of 29 days, they will have seven matches in three separate competitions. It will be a critical month in this season. Manchester City have already earned two victories this month, beating Brentford and Everton.

With these two EPL matches done, Manchester City will now travel to Copenhagen for the UEFA Champions League’s Round of 16. The first tie will be held in Denmark. City are the favorites, and history supports this fact, given the recent encounters between these two sides. Nonetheless, City cannot be complacent as they attempt to retain the Champions League championship.

Following this European fixture, the Mancunians will return to domestic duty. They will host Chelsea on Saturday, February 17. Earlier this season, the two clubs battled one other to a dramatic 4-4 draw. But as City aims to retain the EPL championship, they will need to earn maximum points from this encounter.

Three days later, Manchester City will play the opposite fixture against Brentford on Tuesday, February 20. The short succession of games between the Sky Blues and the Bees could be troublesome as it will not allow for much leisure or preparation time.

Then, on Saturday, February 24, City will travel to Bournemouth. The Cherries have tormented multiple clubs this season on the pitch, and they will want to make things difficult for the Sky Blues in their EPL encounter. Only a victory will satisfy the tourists.

Finally, Manchester City will end this rigorous run of fixtures when they travel to Luton Town on Wednesday, February 28, for the FA Cup’s fifth round. The Hatters already troubled the Sky Blues earlier this season in an EPL meeting, and after some grit and effort, the Mancunians squeezed by to win the contest. Manchester City will seek to emulate another triumph in this match.

Overall, this month will be a challenging period for the Sky Blues. City should be favored to win all seven of these matches, but football is unpredictable, and these matches will be coming thick and fast. To retain the EPL, Champions League, and FA Cup championships, the Sky Blues will likely have to win all these matches this month. Otherwise, they may bow out of more silverware this season.

How would Manchester City fare in their matches in February 2024? While they are favored to win all seven games, time will tell.
