Manchester City’s updated Premier League squad after January transfer window | OneFootball

Manchester City have added Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi to their first-team squad in the January transfer window as they go head to head with Arsenal for the Premier League title.

The Blues have struggled for form in 2026 and having amassed just one win in their last six Premier League outings, Sunday evening’s trip to Liverpool presents a must-win fixture for Pep Guardiola and co, who are six points adrift of league leaders Arsenal.

Guardiola’s side squandered a two goal lead to be held to a draw by Tottenham last week as they lost further ground in the title race, with the jury out on whether City will even stay in the title race by the closing stages of the season.

Executives at the Etihad Stadium armed Guardiola with the signings of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi in January, with the Blues struggling with injuries across the board as they compete for silverware on several fronts.

Semenyo and Guehi have made a fast start to life at the Etihad Stadium, with the former scoring his fourth goal in Manchester City colours already against Tottenham last week. Guehi was ineligible in the Carabao Cup semi-final return leg win over Newcastle in midweek but is expected to start against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Guardiola is waiting on several players to return to fitness in the coming weeks and months, having seen Oscar Bobb and Stefan Ortega Moreno join Fulham and Nottingham Forest in the mid-season transfer window.

City also recalled academy graduate Max Alleyne from loan at Watford after Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias suffered injuries in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea on January 4, with Sverre Nypan also returning to Manchester halfway through a loan spell at Middlesbrough.

As Guardiola and co gear up for the run-in, here is Manchester City’s updated squad for the rest of the season, as per the official Premier League website.
