A very good morning to you all and a belated Merry Christmas to each and every one of you.
Here’s trusting you all had the chance to enjoy a happy and peaceful Christmas Day with family, loved ones and friends.
The advent of Boxing Day of course means the welcome return of football action with City kicking off today's topflight action here at the Etihad at home to Everton.
It’s our last home game of what has been an eventful 2024 – a year that saw Pep Guardiola’s side make history by becoming the first men’s side in English history to win four successive titles.
We go into the game on the back of what has been a testing and tough six or seven weeks with injuries biting deep amidst a frustrating run of results.
But a positive outcome this afternoon would be the perfect way to sign off home action for the year and give the lads a real shot in the arm looking ahead to the rest of the campaign.
