      Inside Kevin De Bruyne’s ‘bizarre’ Man City exile as Micah Richards hints at ‘rift’ with Pep Guardiola

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY and Pep Guardiola have found themselves in uncharted territory.The reigning Premier League champions extended their winless run to seven games on Sunday with a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.Manchester City have not won a match in over a monthCredit: AlamyThere is now speculation of a feud between Pep Guardiola and Kevin De BruyneCredit: ReutersIt saw them drop to fifth in the table, 11 points behind Arne Slot’s side.Pundits quickly began to question what has been going on behind the scenes at City.And one of the main focal points was Kevin De Bruyne’s lack of involvement.The Belgian has been one of Man City’s most important players since joining over nine years ago.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut his match time has been severely limited this term.De Bruyne has made just five starts for the Cityzens so far this season.His last appearance in the starting line-up was back in September against Brentford.The 33-year-old’s absence from the XI has sparked speculation of a potential feud with Guardiola.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSManchester United icon Gary Neville questioned what has been going on at the club after Sunday’s match.Speaking on his Sky Sports podcast, he said: “There are a couple of things that are interesting.Pep Guardiola does a Jose Mourinho with gesture to Liverpool crowd as fans convinced Man City boss has ‘lost his mind'”The De Bruyne thing is unusual, bizarre, strange. Why is probably the best player the Premier League has had in the last 10 years not out there?”We know he’s had injuries but why is he not out there? Because he’s a leader, he’s got authority, he’s confidence and brilliance so something is definitely going on in the dressing room.”There’s something happening but Pep Guardiola has got complete control of the club, he’s extended his contract and he’s probably just waiting for the January and [summer] transfer windows.”Jamie Carragher echoed the claims at full-time, insisting “something isn’t right” between De Bruyne and Guardiola.The Liverpool icon explained: “Something is going on with De Bruyne.”For me, he has been the best player in the for the last five seasons. He isn’t starting games and doesn’t come on at half time today.”I am not trying to cause more trouble for Manchester City but something isn’t right between those two. “It is sad because we are talking about one of the greatest managers, and greatest players in the Premier League.”His contract is up this summer and I know he has had a few problems but something isn’t right if he isn’t in the team when he is fit.”England legend Gary Lineker offered his view on the potential feud in Monday’s edition of The Rest is Football podcast.He said: “De Bruyne came on again with not long to go when the game was pretty much done.”Yeah, he nearly got a goal because of [Virgil] van Dijk’s error, but is there something going on there, do you think? Because he’s been coming on for five or 10 minutes, what, for about a month now?”You would imagine he’s getting fitter, even though I saw both of them – Pep Guardiola and De Bruyne – make interesting statements in the week, where it seems like all’s not well between those two? I don’t know. I’ve got no inside information whatsoever.”Meanwhile, ex-Man City full-back Micah Richards insisted there must be some context behind De Bruyne’s exile from the starting line-up.De Bruyne has been limited to four Prem starts this season”I think you’re right,” he said. “There’s got to be some context to it… this goes back [to] before the international break.”De Bruyne got some minutes, but after the international break, he didn’t start and then hasn’t started again. But he’s one who can unlock a door!”We know with Kevin De Bruyne, you’ve got to wrap him in cotton wool… but a big game like this, I thought [Guardiola] was sort of saving him for this game!”But even just the talks, [De Bruyne] potentially going to Saudi at the end of the year… it looks to me like there’s some sort of rift gong on between them.”Richards then went on to suggest that it “doesn’t seem happy” in the City camp.De Bruyne’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season and he is yet to enter negotiations for a new deal.Last month, the midfielder insisted he is “not worried” about his future.He said: “I honestly don’t know. At the start of the season, I knew talks would happen but then the thing [injury] happened in Brentford.”I was hoping to be out a couple of days, and then it was eight-nine weeks. I put it all to the side.”For the moment, I’d rather get better first and see how I am, the rest will come – I’m not too obsessed with things right now.”I’m not too worried. I’m fine. I’m happy, I just want to play good football again and the future – we’ll see.”Talks will come. If there’s no talks, it will be my last year, but I don’t know.”I had a conversation in the summer, but then I had the injury so I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to speak about that. I need to be back on the pitch and be myself again.”There’s no rush, I don’t feel uncomfortable. I’m not worried.”READ MORE SUN STORIESMan City next face Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

      Cole Palmer scowls at reporter’s question as fans hail Chelsea star’s interviews as ‘one of a kind’

      by

      COLE PALMER left fans in hysterics by scowling and shutting down a reporter when asked about Chelsea’s title aspirations.The 22-year-old scored and got an assist in their 3-0 win over Aston Villa yesterday.Cole Palmer looked unimpressed when asked about Chelsea’s title hopesCredit: BBCPalmer bluntly shut down the questionsCredit: BBCHe scored Chelsea’s third in the win over Aston VillaCredit: GettyAfter his man of the match display, Palmer was asked by Match of the Day commentator Mark Scott what part of the performance he was most pleased about.In typical fashion, he bluntly replied: “Three points.”The victory saw Chelsea go level with Arsenal in the table on 25 points after seven wins, four draws and two losses.And the London rivals’ goal difference is also identical, having both scored 26 goals and conceded 14.READ MORE ON CHELSEAThey are nine points off leaders Liverpool, which led to Palmer being asked why Chelsea cannot be seen as title contenders.He gave the BBC reporter a dirty look and said: “Nah, it is too early, man.”Fans found it hilarious, with one saying: “Palmer is one of a kind.”Another added: “The face he made lol. Love him. Real non PR guy.”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSA third commented: “Palmer’s interviews are a thing of beauty.”More reacted: “A man of few words. Love the kid.”Chelsea Cole Palmer reveals his favourite post-match meal which includes ‘chippy chips’ The same question was put to Blues boss Enzo Maresca, who seemed far happier to expand on why they do not see themselves in the running.He said: “We are not ready and the reason why is because there are teams like Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal that for different things are better than us.”Chelsea ratings vs Aston Villa as Cole Palmer adds to his ridiculous Stamford Bridge tallyCHELSEA moved to joint-second in the Premier League table with a resounding 3-0 win over Aston Villa.Goals from Nicolas Jackson, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer saw the Blues make light work of their opponents at Stamford Bridge.Here, SunSport’s Katherine Walsh delivers her Chelsea player ratings…Robert Sanchez – 6Kept Ollie Watkins at bay on two occasions in the first-half, which was welcome after questions were raised over his place as first-choice goalkeeper.Moises Caicedo – 6Rare start from right-back in the absence of Reece James, but was solid in an inverted role as Chelsea grew in confidence.Steps into challenges nicely at just the right time, and is becoming a dependable figure for the Blues.Wesley Fofana – 4Some uncomfortable moments for Fofana amid his battles with Watkins.Was subbed off inside the hour mark after seemingly twisting his ankle as he treaded on the ball while tussling the Villa frontman.Levi Colwill – 6Would have been lower before he cleared Ross Barkley’s blistering header over the bar from a corner.Went down easy when defending Watkins in the second-half, could’ve cost his side some chances against better opposition.Marc Cucurella – 7Chelsea’s most creative full-back won the ball high-up to set up Jackon’s opener.Put the defensive work in aswell after having Jaden Philogene’s number the whole game.Romeo Lavia – 6Another impressive midfield performance from the Belgian, who shows prowess beyond his years on and off the ball.Seems the perfect pivot partner for Fernandez when Caicedo isn’t in the middle, and people need to start talking about how Manchester City let him go for peanuts.Enzo Fernandez (c) – 7His best goal in a Chelsea shirt this calender year with a slick volley past his Argentina team-mate Emi Martinez from the edge of the box.The Chelsea captain set himself up after playing a lovely one-two with Palmer and was involved creatively throughout.Pedro Neto – 6Didn’t get on the ball enough compared to his fellow forward team-mates.Lovely drop of the shoulder after Fofana was subbed off but a pretty quiet afternoon in comparison to Chelsea’s other attackers.Cole Palmer – 8Out of form? Nonsense. He’d been on the edges of it at times. But made one and scored an absolute screamer. You cannot keep a good man down.Only Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has netted 30 goals at Stamford Bridge in fewer games.Linked up well with Sancho and Fernandez and assisted the Argentine’s volley. The England star was a constant threat while charging at Robin Olsen’s goal in the second-half.Jadon Sancho – 6Full of confidence and a constant threat in a high wing-back role this afternoon.Could’ve won his side a penalty but stayed on his feet inside 30 minutes.Still not quite there in the final third, though, as he was replaced by Madueke midway through the second half.Nicolas Jackson – 7A poacher’s finish opened the scoring inside seven minutes – his eighth in the league this season.A wonderful goal saw him get his foot round to volley in off the post with his weaker peg after Cucurella’s cross awkwardly deflected off Matty Cash.Tangled with Martinez, who was replaced by Olsen at half-time.SUBSBenoit Badiashile (60’ for Fofana) – 6Nothing too dramatic from the towering centre-back after replacing the injured Fofana.Noni Madueke (70’ for Sancho) – 4Booked for simulation in the final five minutes. Unnecessary.Christopher Nkunku (70′ for Jackson) – 5Great cross for what should’ve been Chelsea’s third as Palmer and Madueke got mixed up in the 77th minute.Joao Felix – (86′ for Palmer) – 3Missed a sitter at the death after Madueke’s shot was kept out. Also booked within three minutes of coming on for a lunge on Tielemans. More
