City is finally finding the success that the individual talent on its roster has long suggested it could. Manager Andrée Jeglertz arrived in the summer and has figured out how to make a cohesive group out of the team's array of super talents, which includes the likes of Bunny Shaw, Vivianne Miedema, Yui Hasegawa, Kerstin Casparij, and Kerolin. City sits atop the WSL table a little over halfway through the season,

Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento reportedly has his heart set on a transfer to Manchester City, which is expected to be his destination this summer. That's according to Keith Wyness, former Everton chief, as he spoke to Football Insider, with Newcastle expected to look to replace Livramento in the near future. The 23-year-old has performed well during his time at Newcastle, having long been regarded as a big prospect, dating back to his time in Chelsea's academy.

With John Stones, Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias all ruled out, Pep Guardiola may persist with his centre-back pairing of Abdokodir Khushanov and Max Alleyne, who were outstanding against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup last week but far less impressive against Manchester United on Saturday. Oscar Bobb, Mateo Kovacic, Nico Gonzalez, Savinho and Omar Marmoush are also unavailable due to injury, while Bernardo Silva is suspended and if selected, Phil Foden will play with a protective cast on a broken hand.

Pep Guardiola's side have suffered a real injury crisis of late, particularly at centre-back, and that has been a factor in their falling off the pace in the Premier League title race. City are now six points adrift of league leaders Arsenal at the top. They are without three key central defenders - Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and John Stones - with the trio all ruled out long-term.
