The new statue featuring iconic heroes Colin Bell, Francis Lee and Mike Summerbee takes centre stage on the cover of our latest matchday programme.

This weekend’s edition, for the Crystal Palace game, sees a wonderful illustration of the tribute to our Holy Trinity.

It shows City fans looking up at it in awe – a sight that will become the norm in the weeks, months and years ahead, a truly wonderful thought!

The cover was created by highly-respected creative, Dave Flanagan, who is designing all our Premier League covers across the 2023/24 campaign.

Inside the pages, meanwhile, we have plenty for you to get your teeth into.

The main interview is Julian Alvarez as he discusses the Treble winning season, his success with Argentina at the World Cup and his hopes for another trophy soon in the FIFA Club World Cup.

He also talks about where on the pitch he prefers to play, receiving more minutes this season and the return of Kevin De Bruyne.
