It's been a mixed bag for Manchester City so far this season, with an unusually high number of injuries preventing Pep Guardiola from managing his squad's fitness as much as he would have liked.
Still, City have a 100 per cent record in the cup competitions, and are just six games from the Premier League leaders with a game in hand. In a season where every side has shown they are capable of dropping points unexpectedly, City won't be too disappointed with where they stand going into the second international break.
As Guardiola and his squad have a chance to get some much-needed rest from the hectic Premier League schedule, it offers a chance to look back on a breathless start to the season, where some players have already outperformed initial expectations, while others will be hoping to come back after the international break with a point to prove.
Here we look at the winners and losers from the first two months of the season:
Losers
Benjamin Mendy
The Frenchman started the season as first choice at left-back, and looked to be heading back to his best with early promise against Wolves and Bournemouth. But he never really recovered from a disaster against Leicester, and picked up yet another injury two games later. Since then, Nathan Ake, Joao Cancelo and Aleks Zinchenko have all put in solid performances at left-back, with Cancelo in particular showing he might be a better all-round option in the problem position. Mendy will find it hard to win his place back when he returns.
John Stones
The defender has played well when called upon, but is now firmly behind Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte at centre-back. If he wants to win his place back, he will have to put in some above-average performances in the limited chances he does get, if he wants to show Guardiola he is capable of challenging Dias and Laporte's already solid partnership.
Sergio Aguero
His return was more than welcome after the untimely injury to Gabriel Jesus, but he might not have thanked Guardiola for three starts in a week. That quick turnaround of action after a few months out recovering from surgery can't have been ideal, so it was hardly a surprise when he picked up a new injury in the first half of the draw at West Ham. His absence left City without a recognised striker for more games, and Aguero will be hoping he is managed better when he is expected to return after the international break.
Winners
Aymeric Laporte
Back fit, and finally with a solid, reliable partner alongside him. In Ruben Dias, Laporte finally has a leader to partner in defence, who complements his defending perfectly. In four games together, the pair have already kept two clean sheets, conceding just twice. Not to mention, aside from a couple of hairy moments in the first half, they managed to keep Liverpool quiet this weekend. Dias could easily be on this list himself, but it already looks like Laporte who could benefit as much as anyone.
Phil Foden
Before the tactical battle that was the Liverpool draw, Foden looked to have cemented his place as Guardiola's go-to link between the midfield and attack. If there were any doubts over his ability to succeed David Silva, then Foden's performances at the start of the campaign put that to rest, as he scored and assisted to scrape past Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup, and later came off the bench to rescue a point at West Ham. Guardiola trusts him to be the creative spark either from a central position or on the wings, and he's showing he is more than capable of providing it.
Ferran Torres
Four goals and two assists in 10 games for Torres, who's not only given a new option on the wings but also shown his potential in attack. When City paid a ridiculously low £20m for the Spaniard, they couldn't have imagined him to start life in the form of a player worth at least double. Torres' versatility has given City two things - the ability to rest and rotate in Europe, with Torres scoring three goals in three Champions League appearances. And also the ability to change formation within games, as Raheem Sterling, Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden are all capable of rotating with Torres across the front line.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-10--Manchester United handed Marcus Rashford injury update

Marcus Rashford looks to have shaken off a shoulder injury sustained in Manchester United 's 3-1 win over Everton .
The United forward went down clutching his shoulder in the second half of United 's victory at Goodison Park , which was marked by a Bruno Fernandes brace and Edinson Cavani 's first goal in a red shirt .
But the 23-year-old has linked up with Gareth Southgate 's England squad for upcoming internationals against Republic of Ireland , Belgium and Iceland .
Liverpool 's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse have withdrawn through injury , with former United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call-up , though Rashford has not pulled out .
United are awaiting an update on Luke Shaw , who was forced off in the Everton game and replaced by Axel Tuanzebe .
The injuries prompted a furious response from United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the win .
He took aim at the Premier League fixture schedulers for organising a Saturday lunchtime kick-off for United after they had returned from Champions League duty in Turkey at 4am on Thursday .
“ I can ’ t say enough how hard these times are for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we want to see football with quality , '' said Solskjaer .
`` I pushed my club to really fight the kick-off time on this one to give us at least half-a-chance , but it was quashed .
“ Hopefully the injuries are not too serious but they [ Shaw and Rashford ] looked in a bad way towards the end .
United entered the international break by winning what was arguably their most important match of the season at Everton on Saturday .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was under pressure following dire performances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Basaksehir , and in the lower half of the Premier League table .
But , as has happened so often , the Reds responded by coming from behind to beat the Toffees thanks to Bruno Fernandes ' double and Edinson Cavani 's first goal for United .
United have a two-week break with many of their stars heading off on international duty - we 'll be keeping tabs on how they all perform , and on preparations for their next Premier League match against West Brom .

“ I don ’ t really want to lighten the mood .
It is such a serious issue .
Players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beings , and the authorities need to take a step back and think twice about the times we are living in .

Part of Chorley New Road Primary School built over a culverted section of Nellies Clough River flooded when the manhole in the school car park blew its cover.
In a report to the executive cabinet member for highways and transport on capital expenditure, John Kelly, assistant director, gave an update on the progress of the scheme.
He said: ”The preliminary work was completed in March 2020. To seek continued Environment Agency support, an outline business case was submitted to them in June 2020.
“The Environment Agency are now prepared to support the scheme to a value of £2.2M and the project will be developed further.”
The agency has previously outlined plans to lower the risk of flooding in Horwich in its River Douglas Catchment Flood Management Plan.
That report states: “There is a risk of flooding in the town from the River Douglas and its tributaries, Pearl Brook and Nellies Clough.”
The agency said ‘essential actions’ to achieve their policy included to ‘produce a prioritised list of structures for redesign or replacement’ and to work with the council and United Utilities over sewer and local surface water flooding.
They also resolved to complete a river model outline for Horwich (River Douglas, Pearl Brook and Jepson’s Clough) to reduce uncertainty of the current risk information from flood zones.
The report, said: “Our vision for this area is that we will continue with our existing flood risk management actions and we will monitor change in flood risk and take action as it is needed.
“This will involve targeted actions and may include extending the flood warning area to include properties at risk from Pearl Brook and Nellies Clough, improvements to drainage and sewer networks and additional or improved defences.”
Horwich previously experienced localised flooding from Pearl Brook in 1992.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-10--Manchester United and Marcus Rashford example shows how things have to change

The proverb 'money is power ' is an old English saying dating back three centuries , but it does n't seem to apply to English footballers , who are paid handsomely but are expected to be pushed beyond their limits as a reward , given no say in their own welfare or the game they make so popular .
The 2020/21 season always promised to be like no other , but for the sheer mind-bending madness of this campaign the next two weeks are a perfect example of how the welfare of players is coming a distant second to keeping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the road .
After a weekend when Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer let rip at TV companies and the Premier League for their scheduling of teams in Europe , and Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola reignited the fight for five substitutes when the English top-flight remains the only major league on the continent happy to sacrifice the health of its players so the smaller clubs have a better chance of an upset , we now head into an international break that is beginning to beggar belief .
Not only have many nations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a week when players are already at breaking point , but footballers are flying off all over the world in the middle of a second wave of a pandemic that has forced many countries into major lockdowns and already caused the loss of more than one million lives worldwide .
Now there is the preposterous possibility of England 's Nations League finale with Iceland next Wednesday , due to be played at Wembley , being moved overseas as a result of new travel restrictions that would prevent Iceland 's squad from entering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weekend .
One venue put forward as a possibility is Albania , a turn of events that even 2020 would say is too much .
As if international football in the current climate was n't bad enough , England 's players could be forced into a three-hour return flight to Tirana on Wednesday night , before returning to their clubs on Thursday .

Just like nobody knows whether England will play at Wembley next Wednesday , or in Tirana , or maybe in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

United entered the international break by winning what was arguably their most important match of the season at Everton on Saturday .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was under pressure following dire performances in the defeats to Arsenal and Istanbul Basaksehir , and in the lower half of the Premier League table .

Carrie, 45, from Missouri, said signing up was a “civic duty” and she was “very proud” of the results.
She said. “There are so many people who have had it and suffered.
“The thought that we could do something to stop people from suffering from this, from losing family members, that we could get rid of it and get back to some sort of normal in our lives – that’s a driving factor for this for me.
“I don’t want anyone else to be sick.”
Carrie, who works in publishing, received her first shot back in September and her second last month.
She believed she was given the vaccine after suffering mild side effects – a headache, fever and aches over her body – similar to the flu jab.

Bryan, an engineer from Rome, Georgia, felt “a little bit of pride” on hearing the news.
The 42-year-old said: “It was the least I could do to help out.”
Bryan believes he was given the placebo – he felt no immune response and, having received his two shots, came down with Covid shortly after his daughter caught it last month.
His whole family ultimately caught it but all have recovered.
The UK has bought 40 million doses of the Pfizer/Biontech jab.
Clinics are expected to operate seven days a week.
Mr Hancock told the Commons: “The deployment of the vaccine will involve working long days and weekends, and it comes on top of all the NHS has already done for us this year, and I want to thank in advance my NHS colleagues for the work that this will entail.
“I know that they will rise to this challenge of being ready when the science comes good to inject hope into millions of arms this winter.”
Confirming the military maybe involved in the vaccine rollout, he added:
“The logistics are complex, the uncertainties are real and the scale of the job is vast, but I know that the NHS, brilliantly assisted by the Armed Services, will be up to the task.”
Experts have warned of technical difficulties delivering the jab, which must be stored at minus 70C until a few hours before it is injected.
Temperature limits “will only add to the complexity around transportation and storage logistics with specialist storage needed”, warned Cranfield University’s professor of supply chain strategy, Richard Wilding.
He said: “The specialist infrastructure and storage equipment will become a supply chain in its own right with its own manufacturing and distribution processes attached to it.
“Stresses on this supply chain will then impact on how much vaccine you can move.”
The rollout of the programme is “likely to be one of the biggest logistical challenges we have faced this century”, he believed.

United handed Rashford injury boost, but Shaw out
Marcus Rashford appears to have shaken off the shoulder injury suffered in Manchester United’s 3-1 away win over Everton on Saturday.
The 23-year-old went down holding his shoulder in the second half at Goodison Park prompting fears he could be set for a spell on the sidelines, adding to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s growing injury list.
However, Rashford’s inclusion in the England squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League games against Belgium and Iceland, and the friendly against the Republic of Ireland, hints at a quicker than anticipated recovery.

United academy named Premier League’s most productive
Manchester United have been named the Premier League’s “most productive training club” when it comes to producing players for Europe’s top leagues.
A study published by the CIES Football Observatory proves the work being done by the United academy, with the Old Trafford club producing more players for the top 31 leagues in Europe than any other club.
The list is topped by Real Madrid (43), Barcelona (32) and Lyon (31), but Manchester United (24) are the highest-ranked of the Premier League clubs, producing 24 players between the ages of 15 and 21 over the last three seasons.
Arsenal are ranked close behind United on 23, with Chelsea next in the list on 20. The overall table showed Manchester United have produced 35 players in total in Europe’s top 31 leagues.
Neville sends Mourinho warning
Gary Neville has sent a warning to United’s fanbase over a potential Jose Mourinho title challenge as Tottenham Hotspur manager.
While United have struggled for form over the early part of the season, Spurs sit second in the Premier League table, raising the prospect of a title charge Neville believes would send shockwaves through the Reds.
“I said a couple weeks ago on Monday Night Football that Spurs couldn't win the league, and I still don't think they can,” he said on The Gary Neville Podcast .
“But I do agree with Jamie Carragher that it would be the most outstanding story to see Jose Mourinho win the Premier League with Tottenham.
"It would be something that would alarm Chelsea fans, Manchester United fans and Arsenal fans. It would be one of the great stories, because Tottenham don't win leagues.
"He’s got the forward players to do it. You think of the strike force and the goal - it's incredible.”
