If I'm being perfectly honest, Marc Guehi is a brilliant signing for City on a football basis. However, the explanation he gave for writing "I <3 Jesus" on the rainbow armband left a lot to be desired.
"The message was just a message of truth and love and incluvsivity to be honest," said Guehi without expanding on the point further to explain specifically what he meant. But he added: "I don't think the message was harmful in any way - that's all I can really say about that to be honest." "I believe 100% in the words that I wrote, even what I've just said now - it's a message of truth and love, and I hope people can understand that my faith is my faith, and I'll stand by it for the rest of my life," he said.

Marc Guehi is set to become Manchester City's second January signing after Antoine Semenyo, with Pep Guardiola determined not to be caught out at centre-back like he was last season.

Manchester derby preview pod! It absolutely can't be as chew-your-arm-off boring as last time. Can it?

In October, Dalton Smith was among the mourners at Ricky Hatton's funeral. Tonight, against the dangerous Subriel Matias in Brooklyn, he will attempt to become another British world champion at 10 stone.

Ideal scenario for City is Haaland being fit and scoring all season. But 14 out of 18 goals in the past six games have been scored by other players and Cherki-Foden false 9s tonight looked pretty saucy.

Erling Haaland came out for a chat after "a chaos game" at Craven Cottage.

"This period right now is about getting the points because it's a tough period. The league is not finished by Christmas, but you need to be there."

City are the top scorers in the Premier League with 20. Haaland has 13 of them. But Rayan Cherki showed today he can be a path to goals for Haaland, himself and others.
