Manchester City faced challenges in October 2026, suffering their first defeats in the UEFA Champions League and Premier League after strong showings in August and September, according to City Xtra. The team remains in contention for both competitions. They also defeated Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup Fourth Round. This sets up a meeting with Bradford City in the quarter-final.
In November 2026, Manchester City will face five matches across the Premier League and Champions League, starting with a UEFA Champions League match away to RB Leipzig on 4 November. City currently sit just outside the top-eight teams in the Champions League league table and hope to qualify for the automatic knock-out phase. They previously defeated Leipzig 7-0 in the 2022/23 season.
Manchester City's November fixtures include Premier League matches against Nottingham Forest, Fulham, and Arsenal, as well as a Champions League match against Napoli. Manager Enzo Maresca is expected to rotate the squad to avoid injuries and maintain energy, given the congested fixture schedule in December and January.
