I already got tired running for 30 minutes today.

Manchester City have set their sights on one of Germany's most promising young defenders, with Bild reporting that Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown has been added to the club's shortlist. The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the Bundesliga's best full-backs this season, continuing his rapid rise since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from FC Nurnberg in 2024. Brown's combination of talent, defensive quality and technical ability has not only solidified his place in Frankfurt's starting XI,

When Alyssa Thompson fired in a superb ninth-minute opener, Chelsea looked on course for another routine win. However, Liverpool's defence held firm and the Reds levelled in the 33rd minute and held out until half-time. The Chelsea manager, Sonia Bompastor, introduced further attacking options in the second half, including Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones, but a solid defensive display from Liverpool ensured Chelsea were unable to find a winner as the hosts earned their second point of the season.

Hemp scored a brilliant third goal for Andree Jeglertz's team in first-half stoppage time, firing home from range after Rebecca Knaak and Khadija Shaw had got on the scoresheet. The England international was back in City's starting lineup after missing around a month and a half with an ankle injury, and she laid on three chances for her team-mates. Only Viviane Miedema (four) created more, with the Netherlands international also the only player to contest more duels than Hemp's 11, with 13.

Tijjani Reijnders has admitted that he was 'surprised' to learn how much Manchester City paid to sign him from AC Milan. Reijnders was the big sale that Milan made in the summer as he joined Manchester City for an initial fee of €57m which can rise to over €70m with bonuses. He has amassed 18 appearances already this season and has racked up six goal contributions under Pep Guardiola.

Manchester City defender Nathan Ake is said to be 'bothered' by his situation at the Etihad Stadium. The Netherlands international has started just one Premier League game so far this season, with manager Pep Guardiola choosing to often partner Ruben Dias with Josko Gvardiol at the heart of his defence. Ake has since been called up to represent the Netherlands during the November international break, but has made it clear he is not best pleased with his situation under Guardiola at Manchester City.

They gave me another chance, and I was grateful for that, he tells FourFourTwo. The first three months were hard, I wasn't getting on the pitch, but I felt ready to help the team. Then I made a few appearances and started scoring some goals.

They probably have two or three contenders once Pep Guardiola leaves. I'd be very surprised if Vincent Kompany wasn't one of them. At the moment, it's probably the most likely scenario that when Pep does leave, Kompany takes over, depending on when that is," Hamann told ESportsBets.com. "Obviously, it's always a matter of timing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does end up there.
