Man City to give Liverpool guard of honour
Manchester City will almost definitely provide Liverpool with a guard of honour next week, after Jurgen Klopp’s side were crowned Premier League champions last night.

Ahead of the fixture next Thursday, where City host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium, the club will consult league officials to gauge what will be acceptable in terms of showing a gesture to Klopp’s team as they walk out on the pitch.
Guardiola outlines key reasons why City could not match Liverpool
Guardiola came up with five reasons why his side failed to match Liverpool’s performance levels this season.
The Spanish manager admitted that he knew the title chase was over months ago and so had considerable time to get to the root of how Liverpool managed to move so far clear of the chasing pack.
Liverpool’s title triumph comes as their first English title in 30 years and Guardiola conceded that City may not have had the same passion as Klopp’s squad.
“We knew it for a long time,” he said. “In general we did good things but unfortunately lost the game for some details. We have to learn, we have to be consistent like we were in the previous seasons. This season we could not maintain the same level.

newsdesk@men-news.co.uk (Dominic Booth, Marcus Banks)

Manchester United will likely recall midfield pair Fred and Scott McTominay to their side to face Norwich City, while Odion Ighalo could make his first start since the restart.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should make changes to the United side that cruised beyond Sheffield United 3-0 in midweek, with Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial among those who could be rested.
Sergio Romero has been United's cup goalkeeper for a number of years and will surely come in for David Gea, while Brandon Williams could step in for Luke Shaw at left back. Solskjaer will then make a decision on whether first team regulars Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford should all start — as they did against the Blades at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Elsewhere on the transfer front, United have been linked with Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.

A close friendship appears to be forming between Alina Pop and Emma Brooker on Coronation Street in the most unlikely of circumstances.
The two girls could be at loggerheads after they both dated Seb Franklin, but they now appear to be getting along well while he's the one being sidelined.
Emma ended her romance with Seb after she clocked he still had feelings for his ex Alina.
Seb is now pursuing Alina again while she seems wary, but there's talk this could be a sign she's secretly developed feelings for Emma.

"Alina has a fling with Emma!" predicted one viewer on Twitter.
Asked if Corrie looks set to spring a surprise romance on us, soap watchers on the Manchester Evening News Corrie fan Facebook page pushed the thumbs-up.
"Yeeeesssss!!!" cheered one.
Another viewer was more sceptical, even though they like the idea.
"As cute as they would be together, Emma's a bit too much of a 'Some Day My Prince Will Come' type for it to be in character," they said.
Back in February, actress Ruxandra Porojnicu warned Alina's return to Weatherfield was going to be complicated.
"Seb is too protective, Emma is too kind and Alina is too confused," she said on Twitter.
"Yaaaayks."

Alina was at the centre of the drama last year as nail technician Alina in a hard-hitting slavery storyline.
Alina first appeared on the soap in April 2019 as the victim of a slavery ring which made her work at a nail bar against her will.
She dated Seb, who was carrying out a building job at the salon where she worked, but after the truth about her enslavement came to light the character returned to Romania in August.
She came back to Weatherfield earlier this year to find her ex loved-up with bubbly new girlfriend Emma, played by Alexandra Mardell.
Asked by the Manchester Evening News if there could be a love triangle ahead Ruxandra said previously: "I can't say, but they all do care about each other."

Soft Tissue Therapist

Tattoo Parlour

When Emma took Pepper to the vets on Thursday morning, she had to be placed on an emergency drip and was said to be suffering from kidney failure.

Pepper's future isn't looking good, as vets advised Emma that there is little they can do, and that she may need to be put down.
The news prompted to Emma to film a poignant video, warning future dog owners, to think before they buy a pooch during the current climate.
"Since the beginning of lockdown I have been inundated with requests for puppies," Emma said, speaking to the M.E.N.

Manchester United will likely recall midfield pair Fred and Scott McTominay to their side to face Norwich City, while Odion Ighalo could make his first start since the restart.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should make changes to the United side that cruised beyond Sheffield United 3-0 in midweek, with Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial among those who could be rested.
Sergio Romero has been United's cup goalkeeper for a number of years and will surely come in for David Gea, while Brandon Williams could step in for Luke Shaw at left back. Solskjaer will then make a decision on whether first team regulars Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford should all start — as they did against the Blades at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Elsewhere on the transfer front, United have been linked with Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.
