Manchester City find themselves in an unprecedented poor run of form under manager Pep Guardiola . Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League made it just one win in their last 12 matches for City. The result left them languishing in seventh in the table and while they are four points off the top four, they are also 12 behind leaders Liverpool who hold a game in hand over them. It seems the hopes of winning the title are starting to slip away from the Blues . However, it still remains to be seen what is in store for City between now and the end of the campaign. MEN Sport has taken a look what some of the country's leading pundits have had to say on City between the campaign beginning and present day. Guardiola leaves Before Guardiola signed his contract extension, Roy Keane predicted on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet , that this would be the Catalan head coach's last season at City. "This is Pep’s last season. Pep will leave City. I’m putting it out there," the former Manchester United captain explained in August. City still favourites As recently as November, Alan Shearer was still predicting City to win the Premier League . "I would still say the favourites are Man City, but it's close," he told The Rest is Football podcast . "Liverpool have been much better than I thought they would be. I didn't think they'd be challenging but they are, there's no doubt about that. "I don't think they're going to go away. I've been disappointed with Arsenal and I tipped them before the season started. "You'd still say Man City are just favourites because they've been around the block." Gary Lineker agreed with his Match of the Day colleague, adding: "I think I agree. "City have been there, done it four times on the bounce now. You wonder if that will catch up with them at some point because it's so difficult to keep having that absolute drive that gets them over the line. "I would say they're still favourites. I backed them at the start of the season and I wouldn't change my mind now." Match of the Day host Gary Lineker had his say on Man City (Image: Tom Dulat/Getty Images for Premier League) Change of heart At the end of November, Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher had changed his mind on City winning the Premier League but also predicted further misfortune for the Blues. "I actually think Arsenal might finish above Manchester City because of the problems they have got in midfield," he told Sky Sports . "I’m going to go Liverpool to win the league now. I think it will be the bookies’ favorite and they have got a sizable lead. "I still think it’s obviously going to be a tight run-in, whether that’s Manchester City trying to get at them or Arsenal coming back at them as well. I went for Arsenal second, Liverpool third and Tottenham Hotspur fourth. "Liverpool and Arsenal will be in there. I just hope one of them is at the top end of the table." Potential hope for City Over the weekend, Gary Neville assessed the landscape in the Premier League and hinted at a way City could get back into the title race. "Liverpool are clearly the best team in the Premier League at this moment in time," he explained on his namesake podcast . "They’re the clear favourites for the title. Man City’s drop-off has been spectacular, I’m not sure anyone really knows how it’s gone so badly wrong. " Chelsea had a tough game today but they’re doing well and having a good season. I think the one team Liverpool need to watch are Arsenal if they can get their tail up and close that gap going in March and April. "But at this moment in time Liverpool are clear favourites. I think the biggest risk for them is injuries – if they were to lose [Virgil] Van Dijk and [Mohamed] Salah that would hurt them. "Van Dijk is like Rodri for Liverpool, he holds it all together. Keeping him fit is absolutely crucial. "There’s some big challenges coming up so we’re nowhere near the point that you can hand Liverpool the title but they’re in a great position and at this moment in time they’re by far the best team in the league and the table tells us that."

In addition, for the first time, the race will be broadcast from the point of view of one of the participants, using a smartphone as a bodycam, according to a report by ECO . The event will be broadcast in full on the V+TVI channel, starting at 6pm, but the “traditional broadcast will be interspersed with three new perspectives that will be broadcast in real-time, via 5G+, without the need for cables or extra equipment”. For the broadcast, a smartphone “placed on one of the participants” will be used, which “will give viewers a perspective from inside the race, with the images captured by that runner being integrated live into the broadcast”, and a motorcycle equipped with a camera, connected to the studio via 5G, which “will accompany participants throughout the race, guaranteeing flawless and real-time transmission”. To “complement the broadcast”, a 5G+ reporter will conduct interviews. “To ensure that transmission quality is guaranteed at all times, the network slicing functionality will be used, which allows the creation of network slices dedicated to specific use cases, each optimized for different types of services or applications, always guaranteeing the best network experience and minimizing the impact of other mobile network users”, explains a press release. “So, even with all the messages and videos that are shared during the race, the quality of the live broadcast will never be compromised, as it will have an independent service – or network slice –, guaranteeing isolation, speed and low latency”. For Paulo Jardim, technical director at TVI, this project “is a clear example of how 5G Stand Alone is transforming the way television is made”. “By using features such as network slicing, we are able to ensure high-quality transmissions, with low latency and high reliability, even in challenging scenarios such as an outdoor sporting event. This is a decisive moment for the future of broadcasting and we are excited to lead this change”.AP Trending SummaryBrief at 11:43 p.m. EST

UPI transactions at retail stores in semi-urban and rural areas have risen by 33% this year, underscoring the rapid adoption of digital payments, according to a new report by PayNearby, a branchless banking and digital network provider. The report also highlights a significant growth in the insurance sector, with insurance policy purchases and premium collections seeing a 127% surge in transaction volume. New customer adoption in the insurance space grew 96% during the year, reflecting a strong shift towards digital financial services. "The data highlights the role digital retail stores play in overcoming the challenges of insurance penetration across Bharat," the report noted. The findings are based on real transaction data from over 1 million small retailers, including mobile recharge outlets, and other financial service providers in rural and semi-urban regions of India. The analysis compares business data from January to November 2024 with the same period in 2023. The report, Retail-O-Nomics, stated that there has been an impressive 297% volume rise across credit products, including business loans, gold loans, personal loans, and revolving credit in rural and semi-urban areas. This significant uptick reflects a growing awareness and demand for credit solutions at the grassroots level, it said. However, micro ATM and Aadhaar Enabled Payment Systems cash withdrawals saw a decline in 2024. Both transaction volumes and the average cash withdrawal per transaction saw a slight decline, with the latter dropping from Rs 2,624 in 2023 to Rs 2,482 in 2024, the report said. AePS withdrawals surged 35-45% during DBT releases, particularly under schemes like PM Kisan Yojana, compared to the rest of the year. "Cash withdrawals in Jammu and Kashmir recorded an impressive growth of 58% in value and 74% in volume," the report said. "By equipping local retailers with tools to offer diverse services like insurance, e-commerce, and lending, we are empowering them to become key enablers of financial access and economic progress at the grassroots," said Anand Kumar Bajaj, founder, managing director and chief executive officer. PayNearby is a branchless banking and digital network that operates on a B2B2C model. It has more than 10 lakh retail touchpoints comprising kirana stores, medical shops, travel agents and others.
