Manchester City Starting Lineup Prediction at Palermo F.C.
The last time we were all paying attention to Manchester City, they were getting eliminated from the Club World Cup, in the round of 16, at the hands of Al-Hilal. The Saudi club knocked City out in what was an utterly epic upset. Nobody saw that coming! City basically then had the month of July off, but they're back to work now. The preseason is here, with a trip to Palermo … [Read more...] about Manchester City Starting Lineup Prediction at Palermo F.C.
Manchester City Team News vs Palermo F.C: Jack Grealish, Rodri, John Stones
As last season concluded, it was made clear that Jack Grealish is no longer part of the plan at Manchester City. Manager Pep Guardiola made it clear- Grealish can, and should, find another club. No progress was made in terms of finding a new destination, although Everton FC, Newcastle United and (a return to) Aston Villa had all been linked as a potential suitors. Grealish … [Read more...] about Manchester City Team News vs Palermo F.C: Jack Grealish, Rodri, John Stones
Manchester City Team News vs Al-Hilal: Claudio Echeverri, Rico Lewis
Claudio Echeverri scored his first ever goal for Manchester City, against Al Ain, but unfortunately, it will be the only goal that the young Argentine scores at this tournament.

Manchester City Starting Lineup Prediction vs Al-Hilal
While opinions on the Club World Cup are mixed, just appreciate that it's there on days when the summer transfer window is slow. Manchester City versus Al-Hilal may not jump out at you as a can't miss match, by any means, but this summer's transfer window has often been lacking at times. It has been good to have the CWC around on days like that; and there have been a few. … [Read more...] about Manchester City Starting Lineup Prediction vs Al-Hilal
Manchester City Transfer Talk: Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker
Manchester City are really going to have issues moving on Jack Grealish this summer. While Everton and Newcastle United are both said to be interested, there doesn't seem to be much interest beyond that. It's not the talent or potential that's the problem here with Grealish, it's the price tag. The English winger still has two years left to run on his £15 million-a-year … [Read more...] about Manchester City Transfer Talk: Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker
Manchester City Starting XI Prediction vs Juventus (Club World Cup)
Thursday night's match between Manchester City and Juventus would certainly draw a lot more attention if it were in a different competition. Instead it's the final Club World Cup group stage clash for two sides that have already advanced through to the knockout round. Even if Man City versus Juve was a standalone friendly, staged in late July or early August it might get more … [Read more...] about Manchester City Starting XI Prediction vs Juventus (Club World Cup)
Manchester City Team News vs Juventus: Rico Lewis Update
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side look like a team on a mission right now. With eight goals scored and none conceded through the first two Club World Cup fixtures, the Sky Blues are obviously playing to win this tournament (of let's say "debatable" meaning and significance). Heading into the next clash, there is only one fresh selection concern- fullback Rico Lewis has seen … [Read more...] about Manchester City Team News vs Juventus: Rico Lewis Update
Manchester City Starting Lineup Prediction vs Al Ain FC (Club World Cup)
Manchester City face a very quick turnaround, as does every other side in the FIFA Club World Cup, for the next group stage clash. While no one will actually say it officially, it is clear that the bigger clubs in the competition are treating some of these fixtures as glorified friendlies, at least to a point. I mean how can you not when you're facing an obscure club, from a … [Read more...] about Manchester City Starting Lineup Prediction vs Al Ain FC (Club World Cup)
Manchester City Team News vs Al Ain: Rico Lewis, Jack Grealish
Manchester City fullback Rico Lewis was sent off in the later stages of his side's 2-0 win over Wydad AC yesterday.
