Manchester City

Leeds have confirmed that star Stuart Dallas suffered a broken leg in their 4-0 defeat to Manchester City, with the Northern Ireland international facing a ...

I have a special sympathy for the fact Marcelo was here and hopefully they can stay. All our minds with him and his family." He will be missed, but you have to think about the person and hope he's going to be okay. Our hearts and minds with him and his family. It is impossible to put into words just how important Stuart is to Leeds United on and off the field. Post-match, manager Marsch admitted to reporters: "I don't think it's good with his knee and obviously with way we are, we will miss him very much because he is in many ways the heart and soul as a leader.

Liverpool and Man City both have four fixtures left in the Premier League. There is one slight edge that Pep Guardiola was asked about that the Reds can ...

Strictly speaking, of course, Guardiola is right: nothing changes in terms of what Manchester City (or Liverpool) have to do. The smart money is on both sides winning all of their four remaining fixtures. "We have been in this position many times in the past and now in the present, so it is not new," Guardiola added. Liverpool have Tottenham (H), Aston Villa, Southampton (both away) and Wolves (H) left still to play. They have the better squad, but with four games left, that will likely only have a minimal impact, unless a key man like Kevin de Bruyne was to sustain an injury. That means that the two teams have roughly equally difficult remaining fixtures.

Manchester City have a few transfer issues this summer, but signing a central midfielder must become an absolute priority.

But Gundogan is part of a host of City players whose contracts expire next summer and there have been no reports of an extension yet. Very rarely has someone come into City and hit the ground running in attacking areas during his reign. Maybe the most efficient part of Pep Guardiola’s marvellous City machine is the midfield trio.

PEP GUARDIOLA is supposedly ready to commit his future to Manchester City, just days after Jurgen Klopp did the same at Liverpool.

There is still a hint of mystery about his prospects given that City have played without an orthodox striker, to great effect, for most of the last two seasons. Meanwhile, Klopp claimed: "[Man City] are the best team in the world, but they are only one point ahead of us. Guardiola's agreement will keep him at the Etihad until 2025, with the option to extend for a further year. Manchester City and Real Madrid are the last two standing in pursuit of the Norwegian, and Los Blancos appear to be falling behind. The legendary coach has already won three Premier League titles and four domestic cups since taking the reins in 2016. But fierce rival Jurgen Klopp signed an extension with Liverpool earlier this week, which seems to have spurred the Sky Blues boss into action.

Manchester City moved back to the Premier League table with a 4-0 win over Leeds United on Saturday.

They're going to need to find someone to do a good job for Fernandinho, just because he's been pivotal in City's success." Rodri is Guardiola's first choice defensive-midfielder, but Fernandinho, certainly in recent years, has acted as the perfect back-up option. Despite starting last Saturday's 5-1 triumph over Watford, it was just Fenrnainho's second appearance in City's last nine Premier League games.

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League with a crucial 4-0 victory against Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday evening.

Whilst there was a stark contrast in the quality possessed by the two sides at Elland Road, City took their chances and were efficient from set-pieces, and with De Bruyne and Mahrez set to come back into the side against Madrid on Wednesday, City could benefit from a different goalscoring avenue. Whether it will see City decide against sanctioning a sale for Jesus and instead offer him a new contract or not, Jesus is hitting form at just the right time to finish the season on a high to get his desired move in the summer and stake a serious claim for the Brazil National Team for the World Cup in Qatar. Pep Guardiola's men made it four wins on the trot with a convincing win against tough opposition as goals from Rodri, Nathan Ake, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho took the Premier League champions back to the top of the pile after Liverpool secured a narrow win away at Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League standings after thumping Leeds United 4-0 at Elland Road on Saturday, a match in which the ...

It was City`s 17th goal from a set piece this term – more than any other Premier League side. Liverpool had regained top spot earlier in the day with a 1-0 win at Newcastle United, putting pressure on City to respond against a Leeds side battling to avoid relegation this season. Liverpool had regained top spot earlier in the day with a 1-0 win at Newcastle United, putting pressure on City to respond against a Leeds side battling to avoid relegation this season.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola provided for his take on the Premier League title race against Liverpool.

Both Manchester City and Liverpool took care of business on Premier League matchday 35. As Guardiola touched on, Manchester City is set to meet Newcastle United, while the Reds will clash with Tottenham for what can be tabbed as the most arduous match of its remaining schedule. In the big picture, the Premier League title race is slated to come down to the final matchday of the season, and the two powerhouse clubs could also then face off in this season’s Champions League final.

Manchester City are still on course for a double under Pep Guardiola this season, though Liverpool stand in their way.

Just 34.2 per cent of supporters said they’d prefer to see the reverse. Overall, 63.1 per cent of voters said they mostly want to see him win Europe’s elite competition this time around. City are going for their fourth title in five seasons and also wish to make amends for their Champions League final loss last May.

JACK GAUGHAN: A thud. Another thud. And again. The walls of the temporary away dressing room in Elland Road's car park took a thumping.

To stop and watch the runners, to know when to speed it up. ‘I always talk about David Silva; sometimes he slowed the rhythm to increase the rhythm and Phil’s rhythm is always high. ‘But it’s good for Phil. He is so young, hopefully he can be here for the rest of his life.’ That surprised the manager. Leeds were good for much of the evening, but especially during that period. The bass became heavier, the structure shaking.

Pep Guardiola will agree a new contract at Manchester City this summer to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium until 2025.

Negotiations to sign Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland are also rumoured to be a centre of Guardiola’s own talks with a deal for the Norwegian goal machine edging closer. According to reports from the Daily Mirror, talks are ongoing with Guardiola over a renewal to his current deal, which expires at the end of next season. Pep Guardiola will agree a new contract at Manchester City this summer to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium until 2025.

Manchester City manager hands the 21-year-old the Kevin De Bruyne role in 4-0 win over Leeds but says there is work to be done.

“I always talk about David Silva, sometimes he slowed the rhythm to increase the rhythm and Phil's rhythm is always high. Put the ball in the positions where it can be dangerous.” The “pausa” is a Spanish term for the ability of slowing down or stopping the game to draw an opponent before instantly speeding it up again, a skill of which Silva was the master. “I think he can play in all five positions up front - wingers on both sides, striker and attacking midfielder in the pockets. Now he has the energy of youth and maybe winger suits him better a little bit right now.” Foden then conjured a slick pass to free Gabriel Jesus for goal number three to end any doubts about the result, another glimpse of a future where he orchestrates play from a central role.

Neville picked Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne from the two teams as the best players. He added that Virgil van Dijk is the only ...

To come through those games without their two star players, the rest of the squad will feel a million dollars, and you have rested your two best players.” “So those Liverpool players come off today [Newcastle vs Liverpool] getting through without him, and City have got through without De Bruyne, and I think that is the two best players – I think Van Dijk competes with Salah in terms of importance – but those are the two star players. He added that Virgil van Dijk is the only one to compete with Salah in terms of importance and star factor.

A gruelling April — which has included three Champions League matches and an FA Cup semi-final — concluded with City's ninth game of the month at Elland Road, ...

We have scored a lot of goals since our FA Cup defeat to Liverpool - three goals, five goals, four goals, four goals again — it is a lot and it is the only chance that we have to go through. But the sight of Jack Grealish winning headers in his own box, and Raheem Sterling scampering back to win possession, typified the collective effort. John Stones and Kyle Walker are doubts for the Real Madrid second leg after missing the Leeds game, while Guardiola said that Nathan Ake felt discomfort in his ankle at the weekend but played through it.
