Extending on their EFL Cup charge earlier in the week as they secured a routine 2-0 win at home against Brentford, the former Barcelona boss finds his superstar squad sat just two points adrift of climbing to the top of the Premier League standings. Last seen in top-flight action securing an eye-catching 3-0 romp away at Crystal Palace, City have won all of their previous six appearances across all competitions.

I already played a lot on the wing, although I drifted centrally, and he put me in the middle. That position suited me perfectly. Working with him was on another level, because he already knew everything the other team was going to do, he had everything prepared, and things just fell into place during the match. It's another level.

No-one has played more games under Pep Guardiola than Bernardo Silva. Silva has been picked more than 400 times by Manchester City manager Guardiola, who signed the Portugal midfielder in 2017. They have won six Premier League titles together, while Silva has also won the Nations League title twice. Silva sat down with Kelly Somers to talk about what it is like to play under Guardiola, his standout matches, and his dream of winning the World Cup.

JP ... needs to rest. He came back with a minor injury from the French national team, and we had to manage his knee the whole time.

The 17-year-old forward has become one of the hottest prospects in South America after a breakout year with Bahia, a club under the City Football Group (CFG) umbrella. His rapid rise, both domestically and on the international stage, has caught the attention of several European giants, but City's strategic ownership advantage may give them the inside track.

Manchester City are preparing a high-profile summer move for Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento, according to TEAMtalk. Pep Guardiola is reportedly a huge admirer of the 23-year-old, who he views as a complete modern defender capable of seamlessly fitting into City's tactical blueprint, particularly in the inverted full-back role that has become a hallmark of the club's play under the Catalan boss. Guardiola has long been searching for a long-term successor to Kyle Walker.

Next summer will mark ten years since Pep Guardiola took over at Manchester City. And while City have lost their aura of invincibility that the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach had installed in his side during their run of four consecutive Premier League titles and their 2023 treble, how to replace him will be never be far from the forefront of the City hierarchy's thoughts.

There are raindrops depicted on Manchester City's third kit, with a deliberate nod to the often unsettled weather. Seeing the strip, what catches the eye first, though, is the fluorescent, neon green socks. You cannot fail to notice them, and that is now also true of Manchester City in this season's Women's Super League title race; a team that quietly went under the radar initially, scarcely being spoken about as contenders, are now unmissable

Manchester City are reportedly ready to make Nottingham Forest midfielder and Manchester United transfer target Elliot Anderson one of their priorities for 2026. The 100m-rated England international could even be on the move this January if Forest's high asking price is met, according to the Daily Mail. Information we received recently was that Man Utd were confident over signing Anderson for considerably below that 100m fee, possibly for as little as 60m.

"Well, look, nobody knows because even the parties themselves expected to have been told by now, Borson said. All the lawyers are surprised there is no decision at this stage, and that's on both sides. I'll tell you who's holding it up - the panel making the decision. They hold the pen. They are the people who everybody waits for to deliver the decision."
