As we start gearing up for the title run in and a relegation battle, we should remember that April is also the start of the Premier League award season. With that in mind, I thought I’d identify four players that have caught my eye this term and who could be in the mix when the Player […]

If you look at Raheem Sterling’s stats at Manchester City since Pep Guardiola took over at The Etihad in 2016, then you have to acknowledge just how consistently good the England forward’s been in the last three years. In that time, Sterling has played in ninety Premier League fixtures and he’s scored thirty-seven goals and […]

Lille OSC have had a terrific season thus far in Ligue 1. They currently sit in second place and have a four point lead over third placed Olympique Lyonnais. Not bad when you consider the fact that Lille finished in seventeenth position last term and just avoided relegation. A big part of the club’s success […]

English newspaper The Daily Mail have suggested that Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Tanguy Ndombele could on Manchester City’s wanted list when the summer transfer window opens. To be honest it would be a move that would make a lot of sense, in my opinion. The current Premier League champions often look weaker whenever midfield enforcer Fernandinho […]

Vincent Kompany will turn thirty-three years of age come April. The veteran defender has had various injury issues in recent seasons and he’s only made fourteen appearances so far this term. Yet for me, the Manchester City captain is still invaluable and tying him down to a new deal should be a priority for the […]

Manchester City thrashed Chelsea 6-0 in the Premier League yesterday and their main man was once again Sergio Aguero. The Argentine hitman bagged an excellent hat-trick (his eleventh in England’s top tier) as he helped down Maurizio Sarri’s side. Aguero might be heading into his vintage years but the thirty year old has that goalscoring instinct […]

The best teams prepare for the future and aren’t just content by dealing with the present. When Manchester City brought in Bernardo Silva from AS Monaco last season it was a deal that looked towards the future. That’s why Pep Guardiola didn’t regularly start the Portuguese internationalist in the Premier League in the player’s debut […]

Riyad Mahrez could be forgiven if he has already become disillusioned with life at Manchester City. The club’s record signing as been relegated to cup duties in recent weeks. He wasn’t in the match-day squad for City’s last Premier League game against Huddersfield Town. He was also an unused substitue for the games against league leaders […]

There are some games that just look like they’ll define a season and this week’s Premier League clash between champions Manchester City and league leaders Liverpool has that feel about it. I think City need to claim all three points if they really want to retain their crown. Now that might seem ridiculous as we […]

Manchester City haven’t had the greatest of times during this festive period. The Premier League champions have lost their last two league games and that’s seen Pep Guardiola’s men sink to third place in the table. They’re now six points behind leaders Liverpool. Tellingly, holding midfielder Fernandinho missed those two defeats to Crystal Palace and […]
