Manchester City FC VAVELWith an ageing squad and persistent injury woes, Guardiola is urging for signings over the upcoming transfer windows. A connection can surely be made between the amount of injuries Man City have had this season and their ageing squad. With players such as Kyle Walker, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva far into their thirties, concern can certainly be made with the average squad age of Man City.

Saturday's FA Cup encounter between Man City and Salford City is fascinating - not due to the scale of the game for the visitors, but rather their well-known ownership. If you have escaped the gauntlet of content that has been produced by the club and their 'Class of 92' owners, this game has a subsidised rivalry attached to it.

It is unchartered territory, a time where it looks as if the team who have dominated the last decade of the division cannot buy a win.
