Manchester City badge

Manchester City are the reigning Premier League Champions. City finished 5 points clear of second-placed Arsenal in 2022/23 and with players such as Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish the Manchester team are among the favourites to win the title again.

 

  • Stadium: The City of Manchester Stadium 
  • Stadium Capacity: 55,097
  • Location: Manchester
  • Founded: 1880
  • Nickname: City
  • Manager: Pep Guardiola
  • Kit: Sky blue shirts and shorts with white socks 

Manchester City was formed in 1880 but had different names until they became Manchester City in 1894. City have played in the top division for most of their history but they did fall down to the third level as recently as 1999. City’s most successful periods have been in the late 1960s and the last ten years when they have won both League and Cup titles. Here are the highlights:

  • League Champions: 9 times
  • FA Cup Winners: 7 times
  • League Cup Winners: 8 times
  • European Cup Winners’ Cup: Winners 1969/70

 

The Manager

Josep 'Pep' Guardiola, had lots of success managing Bayern Munich in Germany and Barcelona in Spain before he moved to Manchester City in 2016. Since his arrival, he has taken City to the Premier League trophy and transformed the club into one of the best in Europe. Guardiola is regarded as one of the best managers in the game. 

Pep Guardiola is City's manager.

Three to Watch

Here are three Manchester City players to keep an eye on in the Premier League this season:

Erling Haaland

Haaland holds the record for the most goals scored by a player in a single Premier League season, with 36

Jack Grealish

City’s biggest summer transfer has been Jack Grealish’s £100 million move from Aston Villa. The English winger will add skill and pace to either side of the pitch. If Grealish can perform in the same way as he did for Villa in recent seasons, City will be very difficult to stop. 

Kevin De Bruyne

De Bruyne was many people’s Player of the Season as he helped City cruise to the title. The midfielder’s ability to unlock a defence is second to none and he also can hit a wonderful free--kick. De Bruyne set up plenty of Premier League goals last season and will no doubt be amongst the goals again this season.

Kevin De Bruyne is a key player for City.

The era of Manchester CIty

Manchester City won the Premier League last season for the fifth time and have broken many Premier League records along the way. Some of the records they have broken include: most points, most goals, most wins, most consecutive wins, most points ahead of second place and best goal difference. Manchester City’s top scorer was Ilkay Gundogan.

Manchester City celebrate winning the Premier League.

My brother is a city fan but I'm a Chelsea fan.
I do not like their team
But they might win Fa cup and PL this year (The Double), and that is pretty good regarding 8-1 middlesborough.

I'm not a City fan, but in the PL they are the favorite team for me. I know the most of players, my favorite is Julian Alvarez. My opinion is, they will win the PL in this year as well.

I am not a City fan. However, some years ago, I had the opportunity to watch Manchester City playing against my hometown's team, Atalanta, when they faced each other in the 2019/2020 Champions League group stage. That match was full of emotions and ended up in a pretty strange way: since Guardiola had no more goalkeepers (one was subbed off due to injury and the other one was sent off due to a red-card foul on Iličić), he had to put Kyle Walker in the goal as goalkeeper. If I hadn't been there, watching this scene live, I wouldn't have believed it!

Therefore, I know a lot of their players (even some former ones): Phil Foden (who, according to my father, is the best English player. He was surprised when he didn't see him in England's Starting XI during some World Cup matches), Raheem Sterling (who now plays for Chelsea), the legendary Aguero, Jack Grealish, John Stones, Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Julian Alvarez (who played for Argentina during this last World Cup).

This season City is one of the greatest contenders (with Arsenal) to the Premier League title. So, if they continue playing well, they could easily finish 1st or 2nd.

Man City is at the top of my lists every weekend. I love to see their attacking football and the quality of their top players. Pep Guardiola had succesfully managed to adapt "Tik Taka" to english football, playing with higher speed and intensity, searching for the back of the nets every single minute. And as a brazilian, I'm always looking for Gabriel Jesus's performances. I think he will replace Sergio Aguero brilliantly.

Nowadays City is one of the best teams in the world. That because does great contracts. All city's players are world-class and also the manager is good. This season, they haven't had a big start. I think they will reach third or fourth place, I don't believe that they can win the premier league cup.

This is T-Goromaru writing from Japan. It has been a pleasure to be a City fan in recent years. For me, a very beginning of being a City supporter was the moment I was fascinated by a brilliant build-up and the combination goal from City players in 2011-12 season. It was "Wow!" moment, then I was like "I'll support this team." I liked Samir Nasri at that time.
It has been a little bit difficult so far this 2019-20 season, but I'll keep my eye on the current circumstances because sometimes you've got to accept to experience a tough time. Perhaps you are laughing if I say "this is the tough time" because even CIty will be in still Top 4 in Premier League. I still don't know the real tough time when your team is in a situation like relegated or bankrupted or sucking a manager in an early stage, something like that. Basically, I'm so lucky enough to support this strong team which has shown me great success almost every season, since  I started supporting. I hope that we'll enjoy this era for many years to come. Come on City.

City are the favourites to win 2018-19 title even though there are neck to neck with Liverpool.I think Liverpool will drop points in some of the remaining fixtures because it is not playing consistent football.

City will finish not lower than the second place. Better if the second, YNWA!
