In the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester City went to challenge Newcastle away from home. Before this game, former Manchester City defender Richards, who served as a commentator, talked about his old club.

Richards said: "Manchester City has now found a balance. Doku has stepped up, O'Reilly has stepped up, and so has Haaland. People have been asking when Manchester City can return to its best form, especially in terms of possession. But now we see a different team. For Manchester City, they can adopt a defensive strategy that allows the front line to be deeper. "We even saw Guardiola adopt a five-back formation, which we never thought of, but they found a different way to win, which will be exciting for Manchester City fans."
