Manchester City news

Sasha Attwood has ended 2025 by topping a rather unusual league table. The girlfriend of Everton star Jack Grealish has earned the dubious title of 'WAG queen of holidays' after jetting off around the globe and taking in 10 luxury trips over the last 12 months, beating off competition from Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy to finish on top of the pile.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed the key behind the Cityzens' revival as he sent out a Premier League title race warning to Arsenal. The Gunners were momentarily replaced at the summit following City’s late victory over Nottingham Forest last Saturday, before the north Londoners reclaimed top spot following their win over Brighton later in the day.

Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has labelled former club Arsenal as Premier League title “favourites” ahead of Tuesday’s crunch clash between the two teams. The Spaniard has taken the opportunity to add plenty of extra spice to a mouth-watering fixture which will see Mikel Arteta’s leaders play host to the high-flying Villans at the Emirates Stadium.

Kylian Mbappe’s ownership era at Caen has taken a bold new turn after the French club appointed former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Gael Clichy as head coach. The 40-year-old steps into his first senior managerial role amid supporter unrest, with the club banking on his elite pedigree to spark a revival as they struggle in the third tier of French football.

Everton are reportedly eyeing a double January swoop for out-of-favour Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee. While a move for the pair will be difficult and potentially expensive, the Toffees are hoping that Manchester City loanee Jack Grealish could be part of the club's sales pitch to bring them to Hill Dickinson Stadium next month.

Antoine Semenyo's agents are reportedly due in Manchester to finalise a potential move to Manchester City. The Bournemouth star's entourage are expected to move ahead with contract terms over his £65 million ($87.5m) release clause, which runs until January 10. The player himself is said to be keen to wrap up his future at the start of next month, but whether a deal gets done remains to be seen.

Manchester City made it six league wins on the spin when they travelled to Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon. City briefly went top as they claimed a 2-1 victory at the City Ground, with summer signing Rayan Cherki the star performer for Pep Guardiola's side. Cherki was directly involved in both City goals, scoring a sumptuous winner to spark jubilant scenes in the away end.

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney believes it was right to allow Rayan Cherki's Manchester City goal to stand despite Sean Dyche's protestations that Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White was fouled in the build-up. The France international scored a late winner in a 2-1 victory at City Ground but Forest boss Dyche felt his side were robbed of a point - something Rooney disagrees with.

Manchester City’s hopes of landing Antoine Semenyo in January may have taken a hit after Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola made his position crystal clear. With speculation intensifying around a release clause and elite interest growing, the Cherries head coach has stressed his desire to keep the in-form Ghanaian forward for as long as possible.

Maya Jama got a taste of a Manchester City away day as she watched boyfriend Ruben Dias take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Love Island presenter cheered on the Portugal international from the away section of City Ground as Pep Guardiola's men secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory in the Premier League. The 31-year-old clearly enjoyed her day out, describing it as a "whole different experience".

Pep Guardiola has offered a candid and comical glimpse into life with Rayan Cherki at Manchester City, admitting the Frenchman can leave him torn between frustration and affection. After a decisive display against Nottingham Forest, the City boss joked there are moments he wants to shout at Cherki and others where he wants to "kiss him" as the youngster continues to shine.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are ready to push Manchester City all the way for the Premier League title as both teams continue to slug it out at the top of the table. The Gunners were momentarily replaced at the summit following City’s late victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, before the north Londoners reclaimed top spot following their win over Brighton and Hove Albion later in the day.

Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on James McAtee ahead of the January transfer window, despite the midfielder having become an outcast at Nottingham Forest following his summer move from Manchester City. The former England Under-21 international is being monitored by Blues head coach Enzo Maresca, with the pair having worked together in the past.
