Match Preview

City v Bayer Leverkusen: Kick-off time, team news and TV information

The playmaking Frenchman is pictured celebrating with Phil Foden in our last UEFA Champions League game – the 4-1 triumph over Dortmund with Cherki bagging the final goal on a fantastic evening for the Blues.

Within this 84-page edition, Jeremy Doku is the main interview with the Belgian ace offering his thoughts on sky blue matters.

Doku talks about his fantastic form of late, best encapsulated in his wonderful wing performance in the 3-0 victory over Liverpool.

He discusses that triumph in our last home game at the Etihad as well as offering his thoughts on the mentality in the squad, what it’s like working with Pep Guardiola and the expectations at the CFA.

This issue also has another of our ‘Big Feature’ pieces as we delve into former goalkeeper Harry Dowd’s treasure trove of mementos, souvenirs and keepsakes that he kept during his career at City.

There’s match reports from our last three games including successes over Liverpool and Dortmund as well as a wonderfully scenic Autumnal photo taken of the Etihad Stadium taken ahead of tonight’s 20:00 (UK) game.
