Here are your Manchester City evening headlines on Saturday, January 21.
Lewis discusses Walker advice
Rico Lewis has detailed the advice he received from Kyle Walker as the pair form a healthily competitive relationship at Manchester City.
Lewis has quickly become one of Pep Guardiola's favourite projects at the Etihad, starting three Premier League games ahead of his senior teammate since the World Cup break. The 18-year-old stood up to a firm and physical test in the 4-2 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening, drifting into midfield to dictate the tempo of City's play assertively.

His form is keeping veteran full-back and City stalwart Walker on the sidelines. A 73-cap England international and 14 years Lewis' senior, the Sheffield-born defender would be forgiven for feeling a little hard done by. But as Lewis detailed after Thursday's win, the relationship between the two is as healthy as one could hope for.

Guardiola clarifies City fans criticism
Pep Guardiola has moved to clarify what he wants from Manchester City's home supporters, after appearing to criticise them after the comeback win over Tottenham.
There were boos at half-time at the Etihad as City suddenly found themselves 2-0 down thanks to two poor defensive goals, having been level on 44 minutes. However, the crowd responded after the break to lift their side, and by 52 minutes City were level before going on to win an entertaining game 4-2.
Guardiola then went on a series of extraordinary interviews where he stated: 'I want my fans back' - saying they were silent for the first 45 minutes of the game. In his post-match press conference, he added that his frustrations laid with the fact that City as a whole club feel too comfortable and are not showing the appropriate desire to compete with Arsenal for the Premier League title.
