Manchester United and rivals Manchester City could play out a two-horse race for a Chelsea star following the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, reports talkSPORT.
Trying to find a chink in Manchester City's armour is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If it does exist, it's barely detectable. Andree Jeglertz's impact has been profound in that sense.
To consider Chelsea as underdogs in domestic competition feels alien. To a club so endowed with silverware and success over such a long period, it's like a dirty word. Something reserved for opponents, not them.
The on-loan Man City star has missed the club's last three games over a disciplinary issue, but he returned to action for the first time on Thursday, featuring in Everton's behind-closed-doors win over Derby County

Midfielder’s old-school attributes came to the fore during Nottingham Forest’s win against Manchester City Modern football is more systematised and data-driven than ever but some things never change. Winning the first ball is important but the second ball – the Holy Grail for Sunday league footballers – is often more so. Nottingham Forest’s 3-1 win against Manchester City last weekend featured a classic example. Forest led 2-1 inside the last 20 minutes but City, lifted by Rayan Cherki’s swee...
Over a third of the league is now up for sale, writes Miguel Delaney, but despite the Man City case, this major shift could bring a solve one of English football’s major problems
Football fans have been told to be patient for the result of Manchester City's appeal after the club was found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules over a nine-season period on September 29. An independent commission found City intended to breach the rules by inflating revenues or cutting costs by more than £900million. The club strongly denied the allegations against the 114 charges and lodged an appeal on October 1 , saying their "firm position is that, on multiple grounds, th...
While No 9s still score the most goals and No 1s try to stop them, trends have changed since the introduction of squad numbers in the early 1990s How much is a shirt number worth? It costs £8 if you want two digits added to the back of Arsenal’s 2026-27 home shirt, whereas Manchester City add on £16 for customisation, whether you want a name as well as a number or not. That is cheap compared to what baseball players decide among themselves. Juan Soto bought Brett Baty a $92,000 (£69,000) car...

Manchester City were found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules in September but have since lodged an appeal
On a very satisfying night for Manchester City, perhaps the most pleasing element was that they did not even need to call on Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw. While giving their talismanic striker some precious rest, Manchester City’s European campaign finally came roaring into life as they put four goals past Inter to record their first Women’s Champions League victory of the season and greatly improve their prospects of reaching the knockout stages.

Xaver Schlager has been quietly impressive for Nottingham Forest this season but what was missing was that big moment. It came in the 3-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday when he dispossessed Elliot Anderson for Liam Delap's first goal.
Dutch full-back on relief of winning the Double and needing a ‘sense of normality’ while in the spotlight Kerstin Casparij loves football, especially Champions League nights under the lights, but perspective is important too. “I would say football is my most important secondary thing in life, and I’ve found that such a refreshing way of looking at it,” she says before Manchester City’s trip to Milan to face Inter on Tuesday. “It is so important to me and I love it so much and if I lose I’m go...
After three straight defeats, City’s manager says he will use the international break to reassess. Their problems may go beyond tactics Sign up for our free newsletter here Enzo Maresca seemed, if not quite baffled by his side’s Saturday defeat to Nottingham Forest, then at least a little put out. After seven straight wins from the start of the season, that’s now three straight defeats, a pattern so unusual that it’s been recorded only once before in top-flight English history, by Sheffield W...
Delap’s talents resurface in style, Gómez delights Brighton with more fireworks, and hair-pulling confusion at Everton It would have been very easy for Oliver Glasner to lose patience with Liam Delap. The forward is still only 23, yet the days when he was rattling in 12 in a Premier League season for Ipswich have come to seem a very long time ago (and his six games for Manchester City even longer). A season at Chelsea had left him bereft of confidence, an odd mix of diffidence and overaggress...
Match of the Day's Danny Murphy breaks down Nottingham Forest's impressive 3-1 win over Manchester City, a victory that he believes could be "a turning point" in Forest's first season under Oliver Glasner.
‘You need desire and intensity … we didn’t match them’ City have now lost three successive league matches Enzo Maresca blamed his side’s lack of desire and the way they were outgunned in duels for a third successive Premier League defeat. After winning their first seven games of the season, Manchester City’s 3-1 loss at Nottingham Forest extended their poor run. Jair Cunha dispossessed Josko Gvardiol to score the opener, then Liam Delap struck twice with muscular surges on the break as Forest...

Liam Delap scores a superb double as Nottingham Forest stun Manchester City 3-1 for their first Premier League win at the City Ground this season.
Liam Delap's emphatic brace earned Nottingham Forest a first home win of the season and piled the misery on Manchester City with a 3-1 victory.
Wait long enough and results will come to reflect performances. Manchester City may have won their first seven league games of the season but they always looked vulnerable, and now have lost three in a row. Nottingham Forest may have been second bottom but, other than the twin curses of missing chances and giving away daft goals, they seemed to be playing reasonably well. Put the two together and the outcome was a dramatic regression to the mean. It turns out the stats were right, after all....
Khadija Shaw fired a hat-trick as Manchester City moved back to the top of the Women's Super League table with an emphatic 5-0 win over West Ham at the Joie Stadium.
It is almost one year to the day when the Leeds manager, Daniel Farke, produced the tactical overhaul many observers believe saved his job. That day, Farke abandoned his trusted 4-3-3 when Leeds were 2-0 down at Manchester City and although they lost the game, the 3-5-2 he reverted to was the bedrock for the success that followed. To suggest Farke was under similar pressure going into this game would be a stretch, but without a win in five Premier League games it was not unreasonable to sugge...

Brighton pick up their first away league victory at Manchester City, winning 1-0 to condemn City to a second successive Premier League defeat.
Club’s predicament raises interesting questions about principles, both for individuals and the Premier League I felt unbelievably ponderous. My head was made of Aztec stone. I realised I didn’t want to be with all these people. Somebody came at me, a huge individual in silver and blue. I fell at his feet and grabbed one shoe. I started untying the lace. He kicked away from me. I got up and walked off. I was exceedingly hungry. Not my words. Also not the words of the Manchester City centre-bac...
