Manchester City have a left-back decision to make – Nico O’Reilly is the answer

From the source
After back-to-back Premier League defeats, it seems that a host of factors have conspired against Manchester City. Poor finishing, defensive errors and a lack of synergy on the pitch have seen Enzo Maresca’s side lose their past two Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Brighton.
Several City players have also dropped off in terms of their performance. Josko Gvardiol at left-back is one of those players. Like Marc Guehi, it does seem that Gvardiol could do with a rest and now it should be time for Nico O’Reilly to step in at left-back.
Manchester City haven’t been at their best in their past two Premier League matches. Although Enzo Maresca’s side did enough to potentially win against Aston Villa and Brighton it wasn’t to be.
