Match17 Oct 2026

No mercy from Manchester City

Everton will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Manchester City were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A day Phil Foden will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match17 Oct 2026

Manchester City cannot stop winning

5 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Manchester City

Phil Foden was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Teddie Lamb 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.

The terraces19 Oct 2026

Manchester City supporters have found a favourite in Nico O'Reilly

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Nico O'Reilly has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Savinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Phil Foden was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.34. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Peter Hall makes his debut at 16

At 16 years old, Peter Hall became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad14 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Yohann Obin

22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Manchester City lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Edward Pearson could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.21

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.21, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Market14 Sep 2026

Rotherham United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Manchester City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Phil Foden runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Sep 2026

Savinho among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Savinho on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Manchester City and Arsenal.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Manchester City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nico González 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Savinho

Marked 8.41 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match12 Sep 2026

Honours even between Manchester City and Arsenal

3‑3, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Gianluigi Donnarumma wants out of the spotlight

The ambition story running the other way, and the one nobody tells: a footballer asking for a smaller stage, fewer cameras and a crowd that does not turn. It is not weakness and it is very rarely reported as anything else.

Phil Foden runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market7 Sep 2026

Nico González 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Zachery White at Manchester City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Zachery White is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Nico González 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.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Savinho

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad7 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Marc Guéhi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marc Guéhi, and the manager let it.

Market7 Sep 2026

Eyes on Peter Hall again

The phone has started ringing about Peter Hall again, and this time the name on the line is Rotherham United. Manchester City are listening politely and promising nothing.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Savinho

Marked 8.26 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market7 Sep 2026

The Rico Lewis conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Derby County will make the call about Rico Lewis this week. Manchester City have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.
