Manchester City midfielder Elliot Anderson has revealed that the intense scrutiny and recent financial guilty verdict against the club have served to strengthen the bond within the first-team squad. The summer signing believes the hostile atmosphere currently facing the Etihad giants is only providing them with more motivation to succeed.

Steven Gerrard has insisted he has no desire to be retroactively awarded a Premier League winner's medal if Manchester City are found guilty of their financial charges and stripped of their titles. Gerrard stated that he has made peace with his past, but he powerfully questioned the incredible footballing memories that were potentially stolen from everyone else.

Florian Wirtz struggled again for Liverpool when in direct competition with Manchester City playmaker Rayan Cherki, while Bradley Barcola is still waiting on his first goal contribution for the Reds. Michael Owen has told GOAL that “Mo Salah numbers” will forever haunt big-money additions at Anfield, with transfers worth more than £100 million ($132m) piling on pressure.

Liverpool are reportedly exploring the transfer market for a new right-back as doubts grow over Jeremie Frimpong's long-term suitability in defence. The Anfield hierarchy have identified Barcelona star Jules Kounde as a primary target following a string of inconsistent performances from their recent summer signing.
