The National’s Sport cover for the Sunday, November 9 issue, featuring a Manchester City side that had to battle Queens Park Rangers to save point on Saturday in the Premier League.
Covering the match, Jonathan Wilson writes: "It could have been a lot worse, but for Manchester City a draw is bad enough.
“The champions are eight points behind the Premier League leaders Chelsea and there has been nothing about their recent performances, or indeed those of Chelsea, to suggest there is much chance of them closing that gap.
“City have won just seven of 18 games in all competitions this season and that statistic alone suggests just how far below par they have been.
“For half an hour away at Queens Park Rangers, City were a shambles.”
