Manchester City started the new year with a bang as they continued their terrific form this season throughout January. The month started off with a 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion which saw Sergio Aguero score both goals.

After a draw in the first leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final against Derby County, Paul Pogba made his debut with Manchester City coming away victorious over Crystal Palace 2-0 in the FA Cup 3rd Round, defeating them for the third time in four weeks.

A 60th minute goal from Theo Walcott gave Arsenal the three points against Manchester City 1-0, only their second defeat in the Premier League this season. After a 3-0 win over Liverpool, Manchester City progressed to the final of the Capital One Cup by winning the second leg against Derby County and then progressed further in the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory over West Ham.


Despite only playing in three games across the month due to the high number of cup fixtures, Sergio Aguero has won the player of the month award for January. If he is able to stay fit for the entire season, it is likely that he could beat the record of most goals in a Premier League season.

Real Madrid have shown great interest in Aguero but it will take a considerable bid for Manchester City to even consider selling the striker.


Manchester City hold a seven point lead over second placed Tottenham with the top half of the table beginning to separate itself from the pack. Surprise packets Norwich find themselves in sixth place with Nathan Redmond being a key figure in the recent success.

In the relegation battle, Sunderland and Bournemouth look the most likely candidates to go down but a few results going different ways could change everything.


After a perfect performance in the group stage, Manchester City are set to face Atletico Madrid in the first knockout round.

In February, Manchester City face some easier fixtures in the Premier League but will still need to maintain their current form in order to keep their lead at the top of the table. They face two big fixtures in the first leg of their Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid as well as the Capital One Cup final against Chelsea.

Nice win over Derby to get you in the Final.
And another grest month, staying well on top, doing brilliantly.
Good luck for those hard fixtures next month, with Atlético and the final against Chelsea.

Very important late goal, I wouldn't fancy having to go to Madrid without a lead, you're in for a scrappy and tough game

Nice win against a though side. Bony is showing himself well, some nice matches and important goals.

Manchester City put together an incredible month of results, with manager Manuel Pellegrini being awarded the Premier League Manager of the Month award for the third time this season. Putting together thirteen goals in three games, Manchester City managed to make short work of Sunderland, Stoke and Watford in their Premier League fixtures at the start of the month. Sergio Aguero reached a landmark this month when he scored his 100th league goal for Manchester City during the fixture against Stoke.

The only low point of the month was the draw against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup with a poor defensive performance, Manchester City will get a chance to square the ledger when they face off again in a replay next month.

City finished the month with two tremendous performances in their 1-0 victory in Spain against Atletico Madrid and their 5-0 demolition of Chelsea in the Capital One Cup final.


In his first full month as a Manchester City player, Paul Pogba has won the Player Of The Month award. Fans were concerned after Manchester City broke the record transfer fee to get Pogba to Manchester but if he is able to produce performances like this consistently it will be considered money well spent.

Across the month, Pogba managed to score two goals and provide four assists all while playing in a more defensive position than his usual role while playing alongside Yaya Toure.


Manchester City have managed to maintain their seven point lead on top of the Premier League table with the rest of the top of the table remaining similar. Leicester City have fell down the table after starting the season amongst the Champions League places, their loss of form has mainly been due to the loss of Jamie Vardy due to a broken ankle.

The relegation candidates have gotten closer to each other but those above them have managed to distance themselves.

The winner of the match up will go on to face Leicester City in the next round.


Manchester City have now won the Capital One Cup four times with their previous victories occurring in 1969-70, 1975-76 and 2013-14.


Aleksander Kolarov suffered a calf injury during the fixture against Watford and is expected to miss two to three weeks. Gael Clichy will take his place in the line-up but will be covered by Bacary Sagna when required.


Manchester City face a much easier month of fixtures due to the international break, their month starts with a match against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup. Next up, the Manchester derby will be held at the City of Manchester Stadium.
