The two midfielders Man City are eyeing to freshen up their ageing squad as time starts to catch up with Pep Guardiola's Dad's Army, writes JACK GAUGHAN

Whoever sorts the music out at the Etihad Stadium stuck on some Bloc Party. Two More Years, a single from 2005. One of their finest.

The choice felt a bit on the nose but then Pep Guardiola's signed until 2027 so why not? Worth celebrating, even when queued up at half-time and Manchester City, 2-0 down, staring at an unfathomable fifth consecutive defeat. Just a little reminder of what they have at their disposal. Superficially at least - the track's actually about fading love and closure.

That probably didn't come into the DJ's thinking but then you listen to it - Kele Okereke sings of how 'this pain won't last forever' – and there are aspects applicable to City.
