MANCHESTER City were Premier League top dogs once again in 2020/21.

The Blues regained their status as league champions, and also won a fourth successive Carabao Cup.

But the season was tinged with disappoint­ment when, after reaching the Champions League final for their first time in their history, City fell at the final hurdle by losing to Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola will be determined to finally win the European Cup during his time at City while retaining the domestic title, and the club’s hierarchy have signalled their intention to help him by strengthen­ing the squad with world-class talent.

As such, the summer transfer market has seen City heavily linked to Harry Kane and Jack Grealish. No matter which new stars turn out in sky blue, it looks like being a tumultuous season at the Etihad.

To look forward to the 2021/22 season, our City writers have teamed up to produce a comprehens­ive guide to the new campaign.

They’ll be bringing you all their insight to offer unique, personal perspectiv­es on what Blues supporters should look out for over the next nine months.

It’s one of 41 special edition club annuals being produced by Reach PLC to mark the return of fans to stadiums across the Premier League, Championsh­ip, League One and the Scottish Premiershi­p.

Fans can order these one-off titles in print to arrive at their doorstep before the campaign kicks off with all the details on the new season, new signings and how their club has been preparing to go after glory again. Every annual includes a full club-by-club breakdown of the competitio­n, key stats and the latest informatio­n around the grounds as football puts fans back at the heart of the action.

IT promises to be a huge season for Manchester United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side showed improvemen­ts to finish second in the Premier League behind Manchester City.

But the last campaign ended trophyless once again - a big disappoint­ment after reaching the latter stages of the FA Cup and EFL Cup, and the final of the Europa League.

It means Solskjaer will be determined to finally get his hands on silverware next season and this summer’s transfer window is expected to see him strengthen his squad.

Jadon Sancho will join the Reds after Euro 2020, while the likes of Raphael Varane, Kieran Trippier and Eduardo Camavinga are among the names that United are also interested in bringing to Old Trafford.
