Walker reveals objectives this season
City right-back Kyle Walker has confirmed the focus at the club this season is firmly on regaining the Premier League title.
Walker was a key part of Pep Guardiola’s side as they won back-to-back titles in 2018 and 2019, before finishing a distant second behind Liverpool last term.
The 30-year-old, who netted a long-range match-winner in the 1-0 victory over Sheffield United on Saturday, believes regularly keeping clean sheets can be a building block to getting back to the top of the table.
“For this club and for us as a set of players in the Premier League, there is only one goal and that's winning the Premier League title," he said. "Liverpool did it last year, which was bitterly disappointing, but they really deserved that. They were on fire. So, for us, we need to bounce back from that and try to take that crown back.
"As a personal point, we helped Ederson, not just me, the rest of my teammates too, we helped him to get the golden glove last year which is a big step in the right direction for us as defenders because we just want clean sheets.

Stats back Guardiola's demand for more substitutions
Pep Guardiola has strongly criticised the Premier League’s decision to revert to a maximum of three substitutes amid the relentless fixture schedule in the 2020/21 season – and City’s stats so far this season reinforce his argument.
The final games of last season saw clubs allowed to make up to five changes, which has been adopted in most major European leagues and the Champions League this season.
But the City manager believes his players are being overloaded with too many minutes, resulting in fatigue and an increased risk of muscular injuries.
“The last 15, 20, 25, 30 minutes of games are when players who are playing every three days start to suffer,” Guardiola said.
That’s certainly been evident in City’s league outings so far this season, in which Guardiola’s men have outscored their opponents by six to two in the first half of games, but in the second half have been outscored by three to six.

6. Going to work
To help contain the virus, everyone who can work effectively from home must do so.
Where people cannot do so (for instance people who work in critical national infrastructure, construction or manufacturing) they should continue to travel to work/attend their workplace.
This is essential to keeping the country operating and supporting vital sectors and employers.
Public sector employees working in essential services, including education settings, should continue to go into work .
The risk of transmission can be substantially reduced if COVID-secure guidelines are followed closely.
Extra consideration should be given to those people at higher risk.
7. Going to school, college and university
The Government will continue to prioritise the wellbeing and long-term futures of our young people and will not be closing schools, colleges or universities.
It remains very important for children and young people to attend, to support their wellbeing and education and help working parents and guardians.
Senior clinicians still advise that school is the best place for children to be, and so they should continue to go to school.
Schools have implemented a range of protective measures to make them safe.
The Prime Minister and Education Secretary have been clear that exams will go ahead next summer, as they are the fairest and most accurate way to measure a pupil’s attainment.
We therefore need to keep schools and colleges open so that children are able to keep progressing towards exams and the next stage of education or employment.
Students now have more time to prepare for their exams next year, as most AS, A levels and GCSEs will be held 3 weeks later to help address the disruption caused by the pandemic.
Universities have welcomed students back and we have published guidance advising universities on reopening to ensure they have safety measures in place to minimise the spread of the virus.
Universities and adult education settings should consider moving to increased levels of online learning where possible.
There are further restrictions in place:
If you live at university, you must not move back and forward between your permanent home and student home during term time. You should only return home at the end of term for Christmas. We will publish further guidance on the end of term.
8. Childcare and children’s activities
Parents will still be able to access some registered childcare and other childcare activities (including wraparound care) where reasonably necessary to enable parents to work, or for the purposes of respite care.
Early years settings can remain open. Parents are able to form a childcare bubble with another household for the purposes of informal childcare, where the child is 13 or under.
As above, some households will also be able to benefit from being in a support bubble, which allows single adult households to join another household.
Some youth services may be able to continue, such as 1-1 youth work and support groups, but most youth clubs and groups will need to cease for this period.

9. Protecting people more at risk from coronavirus
If you are over 60 or clinically vulnerable, you could be at higher risk of severe illness from coronavirus. You:
should be especially careful to follow the rules and minimise your contacts with others
should continue to wash your hands carefully and more frequently than usual and maintain thorough cleaning of frequently touched areas in your home and/or workspace
Clinically vulnerable people are those who are:
aged 60 or over (regardless of medical conditions)

a weakened immune system as the result of certain conditions or medicines they are taking (such as steroid tablets)
being seriously overweight (a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above)
pregnant
There is a further group of people who are defined, also on medical grounds, as clinically extremely vulnerable to coronavirus – that is, people with specific serious health conditions.
Over this period, we are advising the CEV to work from home. If you cannot work from home, you are advised not to go to work and may be eligible for Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) or Employment Support Allowance (ESA).
You are encouraged to stay at home as much as possible, but are encouraged to go outside for exercise.
The full new guidance will be published on Monday 2 November and the Government will write to everybody who is clinically extremely vulnerable to set out detailed advice while the new restrictions are in place.
Current advice is in place at each local COVID alert level.
10. Visiting relatives in care homes
Guidance on care home visits will be published ahead of Thursday. For now, you should follow existing guidance

11. Travel
You should avoid travelling in or out of your local area, and you should look to reduce the number of journeys you make. However you can and should still travel for a number of reasons, including:
travelling to work where this cannot be done from home
travelling to education and for caring responsibilities
hospital GP and other medical appointments or visits where you have had an accident or are concerned about your health
visiting venues that are open, including essential retail
exercise, if you need to make a short journey to do so
If you need to travel we encourage you to walk or cycle where possible, and to plan ahead and avoid busy times and routes on public transport. This will allow you to practise social distancing while you travel.
Overnight stays and holidays away from primary residences will not be allowed.
This includes holidays abroad and in the UK. It also means you cannot stay in a second home, if you own one, or staying with anyone you do not live with or are in a support bubble with.
There are specific exceptions, for example if you need to stay away from home (including in a second home) for work purposes, but this means people cannot travel overseas or within the UK, unless for work, education or other legally permitted reasons.
You must not travel if you are experiencing any coronavirus symptoms, are self-isolating as a result of coronavirus symptoms, are sharing a household or support bubble with somebody with symptoms, or have been told to self-isolate after being contacted by NHS Test and Trace.
If you need to use public transport - to travel to work for example - you should follow the safer travel guidance.
This includes the rules on wearing face masks and advice on car sharing.
For those planning to travel into England, you should check the current travel corridor list to see whether you need to isolate for 14 days.
You will still be required to abide by the restrictions set out here even if you do not need to isolate.
If you do need to travel overseas from England before 2 December (and are legally permitted to do so, for example, because it is for work), even if you are returning to a place you’ve visited before, you should look at the rules in place at your destination, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice.
British nationals currently abroad do not need to return home immediately. However, you should check with your airline or travel operator on arrangements for returning.

12. Financial support
Workers in any part of the UK can retain their job, even if their employer cannot afford to pay them, and be paid at least 80% of their salary up to £2500 a month.
The flexibility of the current CJRS will be retained to allow employees to continue to work where they can.
Employers small or large, charitable or non-profit are eligible and because more businesses will need to close, they will now be asked to pay just National Insurance and Pensions contributions for their staff during the month of November – making this more generous than support currently on offer.
The Job Support Scheme will not be introduced until after Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ends Wherever you live, you may be able to get financial help through the:

themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-02--City-wide mass Covid test scheme to be rolled out in Liverpool

Liverpool will be the first place in the country to try out a mass city-wide coronavirus testing scheme .
Up to half a million people could be tested under the scheme , which also seeks to track down every case of the virus .
The Liverpool Echo is reporting that everyone living or working in the city will be offered regular covid-19 tests - with rapid turnaround tests available across the city from Friday .
Two thousand military personnel will arrive in the city later this week to roll-out a huge programme of hundreds of thousands of tests as Liverpool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new strategy to fight the virus .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has talked of rapid mass testing as offering a `` moonshot '' solution which could help bring the UK out of the coronavirus crisis - and the key plan will begin in Liverpool this week .
Local leaders have been working with government and put the city forward for the crucial pilot programme in the hope it will drive down infection levels and potentially mean an easing of restrictions before Christmas .
Liverpool residents and workers will be tested using a combination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as new lateral flow tests , which can rapidly turn around results within an hour without the need to be processed in a lab , as well as ‘ LAMP ’ technology due to be deployed in Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for NHS staff .
The pilot will help to inform a blueprint for how mass testing can be achieved and how fast and reliable Covid-19 testing can be delivered at scale .
If successful in Liverpool , the programme will be rolled out across the rest of the city region @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country .
It is hoped that the mass testing programme will give cities , like Liverpool in this first instance , a much clearer picture of the number of cases in any one area , enabling local leaders to make informed decisions to manage the spread of the virus and support local people .
The more people who get tested , the greater the accuracy of the local picture , which it is hoped will allow local decisions to be made about how to fight the virus and how to potentially allow people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to some normal activities .
Testing will be carried out in sites across the city , including a large number of new sites determined by local leaders .
There will be a variety of ways to book a test , including online , walk-up , or by invitation from the local authority .
Testing will be carried out in new and existing test sites , using home kits , in hospitals and care home settings , and schools , universities and workplaces .
Positive results from tests will be collected by NHS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the daily case numbers , including how many positive cases are detected with this new method of testing .
Results will be received from NHS Test and Trace via text and email .
Anyone who tests positive , using either a lateral flow test or an existing swab test , must self-isolate along with their household immediately and their contacts will be traced .
Read more of today 's stories here Those who test negative will need to continue to follow all national guidance .
These more advanced tests will help identify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and help identify far more positive cases so they can self-isolate and prevent the virus from spreading , in a first step towards rolling out mass testing more widely across the UK .
Those who test positive – and contacts who are required to self-isolate - will be entitled to the £500 Test and Trace Support Payment in the same way as a regular swab test ordered through NHS Test and Trace .
Around 2,000 military personnel supporting the huge testing programme will arrive in Liverpool from Thursday .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the civic leaders of Liverpool for volunteering to join the UK ’ s first city-wide population testing pilot and the people of Liverpool for taking part .
“ These tests will help identify the many thousands of people in the city who don ’ t have symptoms but can still infect others without knowing .
`` Dependent on their success in Liverpool , we will aim to distribute millions of these new rapid tests between now and Christmas and empower local communities to use them to drive down transmission in their areas .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ this kind of mass testing has the potential to be a powerful new weapon in our fight against COVID-19.
” Health Secretary Matt Hancock said : “ Last month we set out our ambition to use the latest mass testing technologies to bring this virus under control .
“ Mass testing will help us to control this virus , by finding it even before people get symptoms .
`` I ’ m delighted we can now roll out mass testing to whole cities - starting with the City of Liverpool .
`` Using @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rapid tests , this rollout can help suppress the virus and give residents and workers some peace of mind .
“ I want to thank local leaders , Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson and City Region Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram , and Liverpool ’ s Director of Public Health Matt Ashton , who will continue to work hand in hand with our dedicated Armed Forces to provide tests to anyone who wants one , fully supported by NHS Test and Trace .
“ Everyone in Liverpool can help play their part by getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including the critical basics of hands , space , face.
” Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said : “ During negotiations with central government , myself and Steve Rotheram have always highlighted the need for enhanced public health intervention measures in Liverpool and the wider city region , and we were keen that we should be considered for any new strategies to tackle the worrying rise in Covid-19 .
“ We are pleased that our numerous conversations have resulted in Liverpool becoming a pilot for mass testing , which will help to quickly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reduce transmission substantially .
“ We are seeing a slow reduction in figures in Liverpool which shows we are on the right path and residents and businesses are working together and following guidelines for the greater good .
“ We hope this new initiative boosts our efforts , and we will continue to see the numbers of positive cases drop across the city.
” Liverpool City Council will set out how residents and workers will be able to access the tests this week .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-02--Man City youngsters pass Pep Guardiola challenge to win FA Youth Cup

After losing four FA Youth Cup finals in the last five years - three of those to Chelsea - the Blues are champions again after goals from James McAtee , Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer gave them a 3-2 victory over their old nemesis in a brilliant game of football at a blustery St. George 's Park .

Fifth time deserved.

As much as it is stressed in the academy that performances - and getting players through to senior football, of course - outweigh results, City have always gone strong in this competition because it is seen as a prestigious trophy that showcases the best at Under-18 level.
It is an accurate snapshot of those youngsters closest to the first team too; Tammy Abraham, Reece James, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi have all played against City in finals, while Phil Foden, Tommy Doyle, Eric Garcia and Taylor Harwood-Bellis have all made their City debuts after featuring in this tournament.
Chelsea, aiming to match United's record of Youth Cup titles, started well at a St. George's Park where the wind rattled so fiercely around the pitch it nearly pulled the corner flag up. Winning the toss and choosing to play with the wind, the London side penned City in their half in the opening ten minutes. The pace of Valentino Livramento and Marcel Lewis and the physicality of Tynel Simeu up against Liam Delap signalled that this would be an almighty battle.

From the leadership and organising of the team to integral parts in the goals, Doyle, Harwood-Bellis, Delap and Palmer did not disappoint. Whenever the team wavered under Chelsea pressure, it was always at least one of those four that settled everyone.
It was City who started stronger after the break and quickly got themselves in front. Minutes after Rogers had slapped the crossbar, a powerful run from Delap was completed with a perfect square ball for the No.11 to fire past the keeper.

Jayden Braaf came on with 15 minutes to go for City's first change as Chelsea used their third but it was the sky Blues who were stronger; Braaf smacked the post from the edge of the box as they were denied by the woodwork again.
With both teams going back and forth, as the space opened up Braaf played an intelligent ball through to Delap. His shot was half-stopped but the momentum carried it to Palmer to smash in for a deserved lead.
Despite a late scare when a Chelsea header flashed wide of Slicker's post, City held on to spark wild celebrations.
Having been talked up by Guardiola in the last few days, these City youngsters showed regardless of the result that they are indeed a very promising generation.
And it was made all the sweeter, in front of the watching academy director, by claiming the club's first win in the competition since before the takeover in 2008.
After writing themselves into City's history books, these players are hungry to contribute more.

newsdesk@men-news.co.uk (Richard Fay, Marcus Banks)

Manchester United's winless home run in the Premier League was extended as they lost 1-0 to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.
United haven't won a home game in the top flight since July 4 and were thoroughly second best as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty secured all three points for Mikel Arteta's side.
Paul Pogba's foul on Hector Bellerin gave Aubameyang the chance to score from the spot and after the game the French midfielder admitted his mistake was the main reason why United lost. "Very disappointing. The team, the goal, everything. It was the opposite of the Champions League game, where we were good, aggressive and dangerous enough to win the game.
"Today, the mistake made us lose the game - my mistake. Like I said, my mistake. I shouldn't do that, I have to be better in the box."
