Man City moved back into the top four on Wednesday evening with a comfortable 2-0 win over Leicester City.
Despite the absence of Erling Haaland through injury, goals from Jack Grealish and Omar Marmoush were enough to secure a vital win in their bid to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Pep Guardiola will hope it will provide the perfect springboard for this Sunday’s Manchester derby when they make the short trip to Old Trafford to take on cross-city rivals Manchester United.
We will have all of the build-up to the derby right here at the Manchester Evening News, where will have every angle covered ahead of the big game.
Meanwhile, off the field, City are expecting an imminent verdict on the 115 charges for alleged financial breaches, with the club set to discover whether they have successfully defended themselves against the Premier League’s allegations.
City were charged back in February 2023, and a 10-week trial at the back end of 2024 gave the club a chance to present their case in front of an independent panel.
The Premier League have alleged serious financial wrongdoing over multiple years, which would be met with a major punishment if they have been able to prove City’s guilt before the tribunal.
The club have always maintained their innocence and will hope the trial would have vindicated that stance.
There will, of course, be plenty of attention over the verdict – including much hyperbole and hysteria. So you can cut through the noise and discover the facts on the Manchester Evening News before the verdict drops, as soon as it happens, and then we will take you through the next steps with expert, impartial analysis.
