After blowing away Manchester United, Manchester City’s March madness set to continue with huge upcoming fixtures

As Manchester City celebrated their victory under the lights against Manchester United in a derby which continues to lose its competitive edge by the season, the Pep Guardiola side will be wary that much greater challenges lie in front of the defending champions as the month progresses.

While a victory over United is a big deal in the local scheme of things, it’s now just another match in the grander context. Beating United nowadays is not something that’s a rarity with even Fulham having done it last week, something that they hadn’t done at Old Trafford since 2003. City, though, have bigger fish to fry.

Just like Julius Caesar was told to beware the Ides of March, City’s entire aforementioned month is littered with fixtures that have the potential to stab holes through their title defence and to a certain extent, their season. They have a Champions League clash against Copenhagen on March 7, huge Premier League matches with Liverpool and Arsenal on March 10 and March 31 respectively and a potentially draining FA Cup tie with Newcastle on March 16.

A spectacular way to score your 10th goal of the season!
