Poor in loss Lewis generated one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Lewis got the start in a bit of a surprise against Liverpool, and accomplished nothing. He was completely shut down offensively and defensively he seemed off the pace of the match. Lewis has clearly earned the trust of manager Pep Guardiola, but his work on the field has been less than impressive of late.

Bags another assist Lewis assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 win versus Fulham.

Impact Lewis made it a second straight match with an assist Saturday, assisting on Jermey Doku's goal in the 82nd minute after earning an assist in Tuesday's UCL win. He now has two league goal contributions on the season, both being assists. He also added one interception, two clearances and three tackles in the defense.

Earns assist Lewis assisted once to go with three shots (three on goal) and four chances created in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava.

Impact Lewis had a solid outing Tuesday, registering two tackles, three shots and four chances created to go along with an assist on Erling Haaland's goal in the 58th minute. He has now started in two straight matches after going unused against Arsenal, bringing him to seven starts in eight matches this season.

Pep Guardiola tired of being asked how to replace the 'irreplaceable' Rodri

Earns assist Saturday Lewis assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over West Ham United.

Impact Lewis was back in the starting Xi for the third straight match to begin the season, continuing in a central midfielder role despite naturally being a full-back. He did well with his time, earning his first goal contribution of the season after earning an assist on Erling Haaland's goal in the 30th minute. He will look to continue in this role moving forward, although a drop-off to a rotational spot is likely with Rodri returning from injury and Ilkay Gundogan rejoining the club from Barcelona.

Another season in reserve role Lewis made 16 appearances (eight starts), registering two goals on five shots to go along with four interceptions, 10 tackles and 13 chances created.

Impact Lewis is still attempting to make his breakthrough at City, as after featuring with the first team for the first time last campaign, he once again held the same role, only playing in two more games this campaign. That said, he has to be on the verge of being a regular substitute off the bench, as his versatility to play in the defense and midfield suits Pep Guardiola's tactics well. He will now hope to get that time next season, possibly even seeing a starting role at right-back, as regular starter Kyle Walker has had rumors about a possible departure from the club. Either way, the 19-year-old should see more time next campaign, likely being a decent option in the defense fantasy-wise if given regular time due to his playmaking ability.

Scores second goal of season Lewis scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace.

Impact Lewis found his second start in a row Saturday, boasting a decent display after scoring a solo goal in the 47th minute. This gave the defender his second goal in league play this season, now having five goal contributions across all competitions. He will now hope to keep on earning time on the field, as he has only appeared in 13 matches in league play this campaign, with only seven of those being starts.

Sees drop in minutes Lewis looks to have recently fallen out of favor, having not appeared in the club's past five contests.

Impact Lewis has seen a severe drop in minutes recently, as the once rotational player who has started ten times this season has now fallen to an unused substitute over their past five matches. This comes as a bit of a surprise, as the 19-year-old looked to have impressed manager Pep Guardiola in his performances this season, notching 11 tackles, seven interceptions and five clearances in the defense to go along with one goal on six shots and three assists on 17 chances created in his 16 appearances. His versatility to play in the defense and the midfield makes Lewis a very interesting player moving forward for City, and he will hope to earn back those minutes he has lost the past couple of weeks by finding the field again soon.

Gains another UCL assist Lewis assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and five chances created in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus BSC Young Boys.

Impact Lewis found himself in a starting role in the midfield for the third straight match in UCL play, doing pretty well serving that role, gaining his second assist in those three appearances. He earned his assist in the 51st minute after finding Erling Haaland for the third and final goal of the match. Lewis will most likely remain in this role for the remaining UCL group-stage matches, as he has done well in that spot so far and continues to amaze despite playing out of position.

Notches first professional assist Lewis assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and five chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Lewis was exceptional despite playing outside of his normal position, earning his first professional and UCL assist in Wednesday's match. The 18-year-old was tested by manager Pep Guardiola in this match, playing in the midfield even though he is normally a defender, and looked like a natural as he provided numerous opportunities. Throughout the 90 minutes, he registered a whopping five chances created while taking one shot, whipping in two crosses and winning two tackles. With his incredible performance against a very savvy Leipzig squad, he may have earned more time in the lineup and could potentially fight for more starting minutes.

Impact Lewis finishes his rookie Premier League campaign with 14 appearances (10 starts) at either full-back position or the hybrid half-back/midfield role that manager Pep Guardiola has been so fond of this season. The 18-year-old is unlikely to make a huge contribution in the upcoming finals for the FA Cup and Champions League, but he will want to continue developing into a regular feature for this Man City side.
