Approaching the second week of August and City have only signed one player, Elliot Anderson, who is likely to be in the first XI this season. The fee paid to Nottingham Forest for the England international is a club record £116m, with the 23-year-old seemingly a replacement for Bernardo Silva, who departed at the end of his contract and joined Real Madrid. Teenage winger Jeremy Monga may be given playing time in the academy after joining from Leicester, while goalkeeper Pierce Charles and winger Mathys Detourbet both immediately went out on loan after joining.
Liverpool have unveiled a new exhibition at Anfield dedicated to the club's all-time record goalscorer Ian Rush - a tribute which the 65-year-old says is "absolutely amazing". The 'All You Need Is Rush' exhibition traces his journey to becoming a legendary number nine, who scored 346 goals in 660 appearances for the Reds. The items on show include all 16 of his Liverpool hat-trick match balls, three match-worn FA Cup final jerseys and his two European Golden Boots.

While fortunes varied at first, Liverpool fans don't need a reminder that this trio became a league-winning midfield under a manager that has since been sacked.
