Is this season a failure for both clubs, after their disappointing, to be delicate, performances in the Champions League? Not yet, not with the Premier League title still in sight. Manchester City are a different beast in England, while Chelsea are in a more fragile state, with a new manager joining in without a lot of time to test out the murky waters. More
Rumors are one thing, reality is another. While news of Manchester City hoping to get their hands on Luis Suarez of Liverpool to improve their striker situation, both clubs and the Uruguayan striker are denying anything is progressing in that direction. More
It’s not that Manchester City don’t have enough strikers as it stands right now, but they think adding Luis Suarez from Liverpool, pretty much the only think working for the broken down former giants, will be the right piece in the puzzle in their title defense campaign. More
Contrary to popular belief, the most clutch club in the Premier League this season is not Manchester United, with “only” six goals scored during the final 15 minutes of the match but Manchester City, with 8 goals of their 20 netted in during the final stage of the 90 minutes. More
It’s been going on for quite some time, but it just won’t stop.

The best scorer on the Manchester City team that’s four points behind Chelsea in the Premier League title race is Edin Dzeko, someone who has started only once this season while coming six more times off the bench, and in all scoring five goals; most of them equalizers or winners. More
Remember this? For some reason, Edin Dzeko is still a bench player for Manchester City. Once again he saved them from a loss, coming on as a substitute and scoring two goals in the last 10 minutes to give the champions another dramatic win, this time a 2-1 away win against West Bromwich Albion.

It looks like even a big and successful club like Barcelona has problems when it comes to keeping some of their players, as the rumors of Manchester City trying to approach Sergio Busquets haven’t gone smoothly with the Catalan side. More
Right now, Manchester City have one point out of their first two matches in the Champions League group of death.
