No-one has played more games under Pep Guardiola than Bernardo Silva. Silva has been picked more than 400 times by Manchester City manager Guardiola, who signed the Portugal midfielder in 2017.

Real Madrid welcome one of their toughest test in Manchester City to the Bernabeu this evening.

A surprise stat has emerged showing that Manchester City's new goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, a big summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain, actually looks like a major flop so far. The Italian shot-stopper was a world class performer at PSG, playing a key role in their Champions League success last season, particularly with so many match-winning saves in both legs of the semi-final win over Arsenal.
