Guardiola’s use of Silva and De Bruyne is revolutionising English football

It may have taken two penalty shootouts en route the Carabao Cup final but Pep Guardiola is on the brink of his first trophy in English football.

They win so frequently it’s almost become dull, and yet the manner of their football is anything but. Manchester City will win the Premier League this season,…

The ESPN FC crew debate whether Manchester City’s 4-0 victory was the result of brilliant team play or a poor opponent.

The Manchester City juggernaut was eased into cruise control for large spells of their Champions League tie with FC Basel and with four away goals to their name and a clean sheet, you’d have to think the heavy lifting from Pep Guardiola’s side has all been done in the first leg. This was far from City’s best display of the season, but they made it look easy against the Swiss champions.
