Joleon Lescott talks about Manchester City’s new generation and what to expect from Pep Guardiola in the coming seasons.

Pep Guardiola delves into his high standards for his Man City players in training, when in possession and their decision making.

The FC crew delve into Man City’s evolution during Pep Guardiola’s second season in charge and debate whether winning the Premier League put his critics to bed.

ESPN’s Mark Ogden and Jonathan Smith discuss whether Pep Guardiola can break even more league records after Manchester City won the Premier League.
Ederson said he has had “almost a perfect year” after Manchester City clinched the Premier League title.
The City goalkeeper joined in the summer and has been part of a record-breaking season that also saw the club win the Carabao Cup.
Ederson made his debut for Brazil in October, while the 24-year-old has been nominated for the Young Player of the Year award.
City have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League and the former Benfica player is one clean sheet behind Manchester United’s David…

Ederson, formerly of Lazio and now with Flamengo, has returned to training after battling testicular cancer.
One-time Brazil international Ederson has told L’Equipe he has beaten cancer and expects to return to the pitch within weeks.
Ederson was diagnosed with testicular cancer eight months ago, but the 32-year-old, who returned to his native country after a career in Europe with Nice, Lyon and Lazio, has been given cleared and has resumed training with his current club, Flamengo.
“I can say today that I’m cured,” Ederson said. “I have faced many battles, but that was the most difficult. Beating that…

Germany boss Joachim Low believes Brazil had an extra motivation as they beat World Cup winners 1-0 in a friendly on Tuesday – four years after their 7-1 defeat at the World Cup.

A year or so back, there were whispers that goalkeeper might be a problem position for Brazil as they build towards the World Cup. It is not a point that anyone is making now, as Wednesday’s Champions League clashes make clear.

First up, there is Ederson, in action for Manchester City against Liverpool. He began his debut Premier League season under pressure — coach Pep Guardiola could not afford another Claudio Bravo-like flop. And the young Brazilian, still only 23, has more than lived up to…

Pep Guardiola plays down talks of lifting the EPL trophy at Manchester United after Manchester City beat Stoke 2-0 on Monday night.
STOKE-ON-TRENT — Ederson has told ESPN Brasil there will be no title celebrations at Manchester City’s warm weather training break in Abu Dhabi this week.
City travelled to the United Arab Emirates immediately after Monday’s 2-0 victory at Stoke City re-established their 16-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola’s side need nine more points to be certain of winning the title but would do it in two if they won their next games against Everton and second-placed Manchester United.
They…

Four goals from Sergio Aguero and a trio of assists from Kevin De Bruyne paved the way for Man City in a comfy win over Leicester.

ESPN FC’s Craig Burley breaks down Sergio Aguero’s four-goal outing against Leicester and ponders what Pep Guardiola’s long-term plans are for him.

Manchester City continue to break the bank on defensive reinforcements, but are they spending too much on defensive options?

Benjamin Mendy met Alexis Nunes in Manhattan to reveal some of the less talented attributes of his Manchester City colleagues. It was in Nashville, last July, when Pep Guardiola excitingly revealed that Manchester City’s capture of Benfica goalkeeper Ederson had ended a two-year wait to work with the Brazilian.
Ederson had endured a bumpy start to his City career following his £37.4 million transfer, with the 24-year-old making a high-profile mistake in his first game, the International Champions Cup clash against Manchester United in Houston, when he raced out of his penalty area and missed the ball in a challenge…

Alexis Nunes met Benjamin Mendy at the top of the Rockefeller Center in New York City to quiz him on how much he really knows about sharks.
A key factor in Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Burnley, aside from the away side’s inability to finish off their chances, was that their goalkeeper was able to stand up to the Claret’s late pressure. A big component of any No. 1 at a club aiming to dominate possession and play attractive, attacking football is the ability to concentrate throughout the 90 minutes and be alert even when only called upon once or twice.
When Ederson reacted with a strong hand to push Ben Mee’s acrobatic volley behind…

Berg Gudmundsson’s 82nd minute goal stopped a dominant Man City side going 18 points clear in the Premier League.

Berg Gudmundsson’s 82nd minute goal stopped a dominant Man City side going 18 points clear in the Premier League.
A game that Manchester City were cantering through took a turn for the worst in the 71st minute when Raheem Sterling missed his second gilt-edged chance of the match, from Kyle Walker’s pinpoint low cross.
With the home side sensing that City were labouring, they stepped up the pressure and eventually found a way through to equalise. In a season of constantly breaking records, this was the first time since Manuel Pellegrini’s tenure that three consecutive away league games failed to deliver a win.

Pep Guardiola says he is very pleased with the performances of Ederson and reinforces his view that every top team needs two very good goalkeepers.
“Tite has a big problem,” Alisson joked. In truth, it’s a problem all coaches would like to have. With less than six months to go until the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Brazil’s manager has to choose between two of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Together with Alisson’s former Roma teammate Mohamed Salah, who has wowed at Liverpool, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has been the most influential signing in the Premier League this season. In awe of his performances, it’s understandable that many…

Manchester City ensure a first place finish in Group F after beating Feyenoord 1-0.

Yaya Toure and Raheem Sterling are proud of their narrow win vs. Feyenoord and have high expectations for the UCL campaign.
With qualification assured unusually early and the most supine member of the group as opponents, City still made heavy weather of an ordinary Feyenoord side. The side that likes to pass and pass and pass again finally found a meaningful one in the 89th minute, when Raheem Sterling was put through by Ilkay Gundogan’s wonderful pass to net the winner. Winning ugly can also be of use from time to time, Pep Guardiola will have noted

Sergio Aguero broke Man City’s all-time goal record to help defeat Napoli and advance from Group F to the round of 16.

Sergio Aguero broke Man City’s all-time goal record to help defeat Napoli and advance from Group F to the round of 16.

Steve Nicol believes Manchester City are currently the team to beat in the UEFA Champions League and are his favourite to win it all.

This was a historic performance from Manchester City and not just because of Sergio Aguero breaking the club’s all-time scoring record. This may well go down in the future as the night City confirmed their status as proper contenders for football’s greatest title. Pushed and tested to the limit by a Napoli side that had plenty of guile, City came through the test with flying colours in an exemplary performance.
