Trafford Stakes Claim as City's No.1

Starting in both the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal and the FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool, Trafford kept two clean sheets. His triple save in the Wembley final was pivotal, while his penalty stop from Mo Salah at the Etihad showcased his ability under pressure.

The England international has demonstrated the necessary skills with assured handling, strong command of his area, and composure in possession during these high-pressure matches, doing all he can to stake his claim as City's number one.
