Match22 May 2027

31 unbeaten for Manchester City

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 31 matches without defeat is a foundation Manchester City did not have in the autumn.

Squad24 May 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Phil Foden

38 goals and a season average of 7.92 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match22 May 2027

Manchester City make home a hard place to visit

17 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match24 May 2027

The season ends: position 1 for Manchester City

The last league game has been played and the table has stopped moving: 102 points. The summer begins on Monday, and so does the argument about what it all meant.

Player ratings24 May 2027

Both of them Phil Foden's — 8.70

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.70, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Loan watch24 May 2027

Nobody is scoring past Jack Wint at Salford City

22 shut-outs in 39 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Jack Wint has been having a lot of them.

Squad24 May 2027

Words at Manchester City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enzo Fernández is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad24 May 2027

Ben Vickery is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match22 May 2027

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Manchester City and Fulham in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Erling Haaland is carrying Manchester City

37 goals and a season average of 8.02. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match3 Apr 2027

23 unbeaten for Manchester City

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 23 matches without defeat is a foundation Manchester City did not have in the autumn.

Boardroom5 Apr 2027

A new era at Manchester City

The sale is done and the money came with it. New owners arrive promising patience; the promise has a shelf life, and everybody in the building knows roughly what it is.

Match3 Apr 2027

No mercy from Manchester City

Brighton will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Manchester City were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad5 Apr 2027

33 days out for Charlie Courtman after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Manchester City will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad5 Apr 2027

3 goals for Erling Haaland

The match ball belongs to Erling Haaland, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match3 Apr 2027

Manchester City make home a hard place to visit

13 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Loan watch5 Apr 2027

19 clean sheets on loan for Jack Wint

35 appearances at Salford City and the goals have stopped going in. Manchester City lent out a goalkeeper and are watching somebody else’s season get better every week.

Market5 Apr 2027

Elliot Anderson wants more than Manchester City are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

In brief

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match6 Mar 2027

Manchester City cannot stop winning

20 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Erling Haaland is carrying Manchester City

32 goals and a season average of 7.96. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match6 Mar 2027

Manchester City through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Leeds United, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match3 Mar 2027

Manchester City march on in the cup

Leeds United are out and Manchester City go through, 4‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match6 Mar 2027

Another one collected away from home

9 on the bounce on the road for Manchester City. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Player ratings8 Mar 2027

Josh King, 20, steals the show — 7.98

Marked 7.98 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad8 Mar 2027

10 seasons of Phil Foden

253 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Manchester City know what they have.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Erling Haaland in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Manchester City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match6 Mar 2027

The run at home goes on for Manchester City

11 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

In brief
