We take on the Seagulls this evening at the Etihad with a 19:30 (UK) kick-off and the perfect accompaniment for the game is the matchday programme.
Man of the moment, Cherki, talks about his approach to football, what it’s like to be playing in the Premier League and his thirst for trophies in the sky blue shirt.
He also hails his attacking colleague, Erling Haaland, giving us the lowdown on what it’s like having the powerful No.9 as a teammate.
Meanwhile, Tijjani Reijnders is the cover star of this edition and rightly so having scored three goals for City in his last three starts.
CITY V BRIGHTON | ORDER YOUR MATCHDAY PROGRAMME
We have another ‘Big Feature’ and in his issue we focus on someone who has a foot in both camps – Brian Horton.
Horton was City boss during a difficult period for the Club but still managed to produce some truly memorable moments – victories over star-studded Tottenham and champions-in-waiting Blackburn chief among them.
The popular 76-year-old captained Brighton during his playing career in the late 1970s before returning as manager in 1998.
He talks about his time with both clubs in this interesting and engaging interview.
We also have two picture specials in this edition – as we show the ‘Rainmaker’ visiting his beloved City and Gianluigi Donnarumma receiving a special FIFA award.
There’s the usual favourites such as Pep Guardiola’s manager notes, Mike Summerbee’s ‘Buzzer’ column, our ‘In the City’ news pages and a look at the visitors.
Gary James brings us ‘Five, 15, 50’ focusing on seasonal highlights from those specific years while Matchday Live commentator Alistair Mann pens his latest ‘Last Mann Standing’ column.
There’s also the usual focus on what’s happening across our other teams - EDS, Under-18s and Women’s.
Make sure you get your hands on the official matchday programme, which costs £4, because it really is the perfect way to get you in the mood for the big game.
As well as being available for purchase at the ground, supporters who may not be able to attend the game can also order it online.
What’s more, fans will also be able to order a programme subscription for the second half of the season.
