      by

      The Merseysiders have turned their attention on the midfielder after dropping out of the transfer bid for Borussia Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham.
      Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is prioritising a signing to boost his midfield amid a turbulent campaign.
      And the England international is keen on moving to Anfield to reboot his Premier League career after a rough stint at the Etihad.
      The 27-year-old joined City last summer following a £50m deal with Leeds.

      However, Phillips underwent a shoulder operation in September which ruled him out until mid-season, when the 2022 World Cup kicked off.
      The talented No6 still earned an international call-up by Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate and played twice in Qatar.
      But Phillips still ended up being frozen out from City following a break in New York with friends.
      Manager Pep Guardiola wasn’t satisfied with the player’s fitness levels upon his return.

      Guardiola even criticised him publicly claiming he returned overweight from the World Cup.
      The Spanish tactician then decided to banish him from training because he was out of shape.
      Phillips has only managed to start in two games across all competitions but has never featured in Guardiola’s starting line-up in the Premier League this season.
      The ex-Leeds star has only registered a mere 16 appearances with City so far this term. More

      Arsenal are five points ahead of Man City but have played two more games than their hosts.
      If they lost, the Citizens would have the advantage heading into the final Premier League fixtures.
      And Opta’s supercomputer has predicted that to be the case.
      The system has suggested that Pep Guardiola’s side have a 62.6 per cent chance of winning the clash.

      While Mikel Arteta’s title chasers have only been given a 15.1 per cent chance of claiming the vital three points.
      But the supercomputer has estimated that is Man City win the tie, than their chances of retaining the Premier League title will be significantly boosted.
      The Citizens will see their chances of lifting the trophy at the end of the season increase to 91 per cent.
      If Arsenal win though, it is still suggesting that the race will be a tight one, with them only having a 51 per cent chance of going on to win the league.

      Should the game end in a draw, the supercomputer expects that Man City will eventually overtake the Gunners and claim the title, with their chances rated at 72 per cent.
      And Arsenal fans have reacted on social media and have been left shocked after seeing the chances of winning slashed.

      One fan tweeted: “It’s mad how quickly the title race landscape has changed in just the past three games.”
      A second commented: “Three consecutive draws really hammered us. Need a win on Wednesday, otherwise, it is curtains.”
      While an optimistic fan looking past the prediction wrote: “None of these figures wears a jersey.” More

      Man Utd joined by City in transfer battle for Napoli ‘Monster’ Kim Min-jae – and defender has bargain release clause

      MANCHESTER CITY will battle Premier League rivals to sign £40million Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae — dubbed ‘The Monster’.The South Korean, 26, is attracting interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham.
      Kim has enjoyed a brilliant season for Napoli and the Italian league leaders have a job on their hands to keep himCredit: Rex
      But SunSport understands City boss Pep Guardiola is an admirer of Kim, who only moved to Napoli from Fenerbahce last summer for £15m.
      Strong, aggressive Kim is one of Serie A’s hottest stars following a stunning season and has a fairly low £40m release clause.
      The Italians are keen to offer him a new deal but he is believed to fancy a move to England.
      City are well stocked at centre-back with Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji and Aymeric Laporte.

      But Guardiola will let Laporte leave while Stones and Ake have excelled as inverted full-backs.
      Guardiola is also a fan of RB Leipzig bruiser Josko Gvardiol, who has a £97m release clause.
      The Croat, 21, is likely to leave the Bundesliga.
      He had been extensively linked to Chelsea last year but no move materialised.

      So far there has been no indication he is likely to be offered another deal as a difficult season for him comes to a close.
      And Milan — who City may face in the Champions League final on June 10 — hope to see if he could be tempted this summer.
      Walker has missed games due to injury but also due to a new ‘inverted full-backs’ system used by boss Pep Guardiola.
      The former Tottenham man has also said he wants to play for his boyhood club Sheffield United before his career ends.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Milan are no strangers to signing English players, boasting ex-Chelsea academy star and reported Man Utd target Fikayo Tomori among their ranks.
      Walker, who was filmed drunkenly flashing in a bar last month, has played just 19 times in the league this season.
      And Guardiola admitted this month he was struggling to adjust to City’s new tactics.
      Pep said: “He [Walker] cannot do it. To play inside you have to make some educated movements. He has other characteristics.

      “He will always have pace. He will be the fastest in this room at 60 years old.
      “The reason why is tactical. It’s not because we lost faith in Kyle. 
      “He can play coming inside and he has done it many times, but like in the position [against] Liverpool with Rodri and John Stones, he will maybe need time to do it and we don’t have time.
      “What they have to do is two things. Don’t complain or there will be a problem. And try to do it better and better so when I need them, they will be ready. 
      “Look at Nathan Ake this season. Last season he didn’t play one minute and now he is undroppable.
      “It happens. Nobody has a guarantee with me. They have to earn it and sometimes we need a different shape for the way we build up or defend. 
      “Some players adapt better than the other ones. They take it personally but we are not against them.” More

      Hickey, 20, has proved he can play at the top level on EITHER side despite starting out as a left-back for Hearts.
      Brentford know City are hot on his trail following his successful switch to the Premier League from Bologna in Italy.
      City are still keen on Fulham’s American left-back Antonee Robinson, 25, but have put it on hold because of the big fee.
      Hickey would be a similar £30million price but is younger and more adaptable.
