Season summary

The 2020–21 season began in September 2020 during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The protocols used to permit the 2019–20 Premier League season to be concluded were extended into the new season so that professional sport could be played in front of a television audience, with the expectation that fans would be able to attend games in person once infection rates fell and public health restrictions could be lifted. However, by the end of 2020 only one game involving Manchester City (away against Southampton on 19 December) had been played in front of (2,000) spectators.

City had invested heavily in their central defence during the summer with the purchases of Rúben Dias from Benfica and Nathan Aké from Bournemouth. Nicolás Otamendi moved in the opposite direction to Dias to join Benfica. This was to try and improve a perceived weakness in the team in this area since Vincent Kompany had left City at the end of the 2018–19 season. Ferran Torres was also signed from Valencia as a replacement winger for Leroy Sané, who had departed for Bayern Munich.

Some initially inconsistent league results left City in the bottom half of the table when they were defeated 2–0 by Tottenham Hotspur on 21 November (albeit with a game in hand over many of the clubs above them). However, their league form improved for the remainder of the year, as they ended 2020 with no further defeats. This was mainly due to City's defensive record, registering six consecutive clean sheets in all competitions and ending the year with 13 clean sheets in total from 23 games played. City were undefeated in cup competitions until the end of 2020, reaching the semi-finals of the EFL Cup for the fourth consecutive year and the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League for the eighth consecutive season, with their highest ever points total from the group stage (16 points).

Initially, City were less effective at the other end of the pitch than they had been in the previous three seasons. In part this was due to the injury of Sergio Agüero that had been carried over from the end of the prior season, and further injuries to Agüero and Gabriel Jesus that left City without a recognised first team striker in the squad until the beginning of December.

A Covid-19 outbreak at the City Football Academy over Christmas led to the postponement of City's game versus Everton on 28 December and up to 9 first team players unavailable in isolation at the beginning of the new year, including, once again, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

Nevertheless, City's good form continued into January 2021: ending the month with a perfect 100% win record in all nine of their competitive fixtures, the most by a team in the top four tiers of English football in a single month since the formation of the Football League in 1888.[1] In the process they beat Manchester United in a single legged semi-final to reach City's 4th consecutive EFL Cup Final; reached the 5th round of the F.A. Cup; extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 12 games with 8 consecutive wins; climbed the table from 9th to 1st; and achieved 19 games unbeaten with 12 consecutive wins in all competitions.

At the halfway point of the season, Manchester City were leading the Premier League with 41 points from 19 games, a point ahead of Manchester United with a game in hand.

Matches

The league fixtures were announced on 20 August 2020.[84]

The 2020–21 Premier League season officially started on 12th September 2020.[85] However, clubs who had participated in the latter rearranged knockout rounds of the previous seasons Champions League and Europa League competitions in August 2020 were allowed a further week to rest and prepare their squads for the new season. City's game at home versus Aston Villa originally scheduled for match week 1 was therefore postponed until later in the season and instead they would start their campaign on the following Monday night away to Wolves. The Aston Villa home game was eventually rearranged for 20 January 2021.[86]

On 28 December 2020, City's away game at Everton was postponed 4 hours before kick off following a Premier League Board meeting. Manchester City lodged a request with the Premier League to rearrange the fixture following an increase in positive COVID-19 test results received by the club earlier the same day, on top of 4 positive cases reported on Christmas Day for 2 non playing staff, Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus. The Board agreed to rearrange the game as a safety precaution.[87] The game was subsequently rearranged for for 17 February 2021.[88]
