Manchester City will have the honour of defending all three major trophies this season after their unforgettable Treble success.
Our 48-page 2023/24 campaign preview guides you through the main talking points and analysis as the Blues go for an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title. The Champions of Europe will compete for seven trophies this time around.
As a result of winning the Champions League, City will take part in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup for the first time. But first up is the Community Shield at Wembley against Arsenal.
We take a deep dive into what to expect from City this season having won the Treble last term. The memory of that night in Istanbul and the subsequent trophy parade in Manchester will never be forgotten.

However, a new dawn is nearing and perhaps a fresh chapter. With Ilkay Gundogan leaving and Mateo Kovacic arriving, we dissect the areas that need bolstering and which academy stars could have a role to play.
The Premier League title race could feature more than two teams this season and we look at how City may fare against their rivals.
Perhaps we could see a more relaxed Guardiola this year with the weight of Champions League pressure lifted from his shoulders, although it’s a surety he will be as passionate as ever to go again.
Our extensive preview brings together expert insight and knowledge from the Manchester Evening News writers as Guardiola looks to create more history at the Etihad Stadium.
