Manchester City finished 2nd in Pep Guardiola’s final season in charge, finishing seven points behind Premier League Champions Arsenal.

City pushed The Gunners all the way but couldn’t quite get their hands on another Premier League title before Guardiola’s departure.

Despite missing out on the Premier League title, City did lift both domestic cups after final wins over Chelsea and Arsenal at Wembley.

Erling Haaland once again impressed throughout the campaign, getting his name on the scoresheet 38 times in all competitions.

Midway through the season, Man City brought in Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, who settled into life in Manchester very quickly.

The Ghanaian winger netted 21 across all competitions throughout the 25/26 season.

City’s new manager Enzo Maresca has found plenty of success since entering the dugout following his playing career.

Maresca managed Leicester to the EFL Championship title in 2024 before joining Chelsea as their Head Coach.

The former Juventus midfielder was a huge favourite amongst the fanbase but failed to share a vision with the club’s board of directors, resulting in them parting ways.

Unai Emery, who has enjoyed a trophy-laden career, has admitted he is desperate to reach the heights of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League after lifting his fifth Europa League last season.

The Spaniard has also lifted the cup with Sevilla and Villarreal throughout his 22-year managerial career.

Following his retirement from playing, Emery was appointed by lower league Spanish Lorca Deportiva CF before making the move to second division side UD Almeria.

Emery achieved promotion with Almeria, their first since 1980, which earned him a huge move to Spanish giants Valencia.

The now Villa boss spent four years at the Mestalla and qualified for the UEFA Champions League in three of his four seasons following the departure of Rafa Benitez to Liverpool.

Southern Spain was next for Emery as he was appointed by Sevilla. Despite not hitting the heights he may have achieved in domestic football, Emery lifted three Europa Leagues with the club, making him a modern icon of the club.

Following 12 seasons throughout the Spanish pyramid, Emery agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain. PSG had dominated French football for years before Emery’s arrival, and the Spaniard was expected to easily waltz towards the league title and challenge to lift the Champions League.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t quite how it worked out. In his first season, the Parisians finished runners-up to Kylian Mbappe’s AS Monaco by eight points before crashing out of the Champions League in the round of 16 against Barcelona after losing 6-1 in the second leg at the Nou Camp.

Following a brief spell with Arsenal and Villarreal, Emery now finds himself in the West Midlands managing Aston Villa.

After Steven Gerrard was dismissed by Villa, Emery became the clear frontrunner from the off, and it’s worked out superbly.

The club has now qualified for European competition for four consecutive years and lifted the Europa League after beating Freiburg in the final at Besiktas Park.

Overall, these two clubs have gone head to head in a competitive fixture in all competitions on a total of 235 occasions, and it is Villa who have the superior record of 89 victories compared with the Toffees’ record of 84 overall. Villa has drawn with Everton on 62 occasions to date.
