CITY LOOK A PLAYER SHORT IN DEFENCE, MIDFIELD AND ATTACK

Player audit shows need for squad 'surgery' in January

CITY are in the somewhat unfamiliar position of requiring some squad surgery.

The Blues have a few players coming towards the tail end of their careers at the elite level and look short in a couple of key positions.

There is no lack of quality at Pep Guardiola's disposal and injuries have not helped this season, but as the January transfer window looms there is a compelling case for City to act in a market where they have been conspicuous by their absence in recent years.

You have to go back to Aymeric Laporte for the last time City went out and signed a first team player in January but with Premier League and Champions League aspirations on the line in a season longer than any other, the chequebook may have to come out in a few weeks.

We take a look at how City's squad looks and what might change over the remainder of the window in our audit of the player inventory.
