Manchester City youngster Bersant Celina was thrown on in hope of clawing his side back into the game against Premier League leaders Leicester City.

Sebastien Bassong (Norwich City) Nike Magista Obra

At the other end of the league table Aston Villa dragged Norwich further into the relegation battle with a 2-0 win over the Canaries. City defender Sebastien Bassong was one of many players this weekend to switch into the new "Hyper Grape" Magista Obra from the "Metal Flash" collection.

Femi Ilesanmi (York City) Concave Quantum +

We're spotting more and more Concave boots on the feet of professional players as the season progresses. The latest silo to catch the eye of a pro is the Quantum + worn by York City's Femi Ilesanmi - featuring Concave's trademark shooting technology, the Quantum focuses on increased power.

Mix Diskerud (USA) Umbro Medusa

Mix Diskerud provided a sneak peek at Umbro's latest innovation at the weekend as the United States beat Canada 1-0. The new 'Medusa' silo is set to launch later this month and will complete the brand's silo overhaul by sitting alongside the Velocita and UX 2.0.

Adam Smith (Northampton Town) Nike Magista Opus

Northampton Town goalkeeper Adam Smith was sporting his custom edition of the Nike Magista Opus as his side moved clear at the top of League Two on Saturday. Using a simple white, red and black combination, Smith's design won't win any awards for creativity but it's tidy nonetheless.

Andy Carroll

Andy Carroll (West Ham) Nike Tiempo 6

West Ham target man Andy Carroll made his return from injury at the weekend. The England striker was laced up in the latest Nike Tiempo Legend 6 colourway to come off the bench as the Hammers lost 1-0 to ten-man Southampton at St Mary's Stadium.

Craig Gardner (West Brom) adidas ACE 16.1

Craig Gardner recently stopped wearing the Nike Hypervenom II in favour of the adidas ACE 16.1 launch colourway but now the West Brom midfielder has switched to a blackout edition in search of a bigger boot deal from the brand. With West Brom being an adidas club it's likely that Gardner was offered a small deal by adidas, but he's clearly after a little more.

Cameron Stewart (Doncaster) Concave Volt +

Cameron Stewart was another player representing Concave this week. The Doncaster Rovers winger slipped into the currently unreleased red/black Volt + to match up with his team's home colours as they lost 2-1 at home to high flying Walsall.

Thiago Alcantara (Bayern Munich) Nike Hypervenom Phantom II

The Nike Hypervenom was the brightest of the "Metal Flash" line-up as they made their way on to pitches worldwide this weekend. Drenched in a vibrant turquoise wrap the Hypervenom was unmissable on the feet of players such as Bayern Munich's Thiago Alcantara.

Simone Romagnoli (Carpi) adidas 11Pro

Simone Romagnoli took things back to 2014 at the weekend as Carpi lost 1-0 to league leaders Napoli in Serie A. Romagnoli was sporting the 'Battle Pack' edition of the adidas 11Pro - a matching collection that was dished out to all adidas players participating at the World Cup in Brazil.
