Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji remains optimistic about the team’s prospects, despite their recent struggles continuing with a 1-1 draw against Everton on Thursday.
The result extended City’s poor run of form, with the reigning Premier League champions now managing just one victory in their last 13 games across all competitions since October.
The draw leaves Pep Guardiola’s side trailing 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool, who still have a game in hand.
Reflecting on the match, Akanji highlighted the team’s positive performance, emphasizing their efforts to play attacking football and dominate throughout the game.
Despite creating opportunities, City were unable to secure a win as Everton capitalized on a rare chance to equalize.
City’s next test comes on Sunday when they travel to face a struggling Leicester side. Akanji called for perseverance, expressing confidence that the team will soon rediscover their winning form.
He urged his teammates to stay focused, insisting that a turnaround is inevitable.
As City look to regain their rhythm, the upcoming fixture offers a chance to reignite their campaign and close the gap at the top of the table.
