“You have the best team in the world and you put in the best striker on the market, no matter what it costs, you just do it. In the past few seasons, this has traditionally been a clash of the league’s top two teams. I know City will not like it, nobody will like it, you’ve asked the question, but you know the answer. The problem v City is if you close him down with too many players it opens space for other world-class players." Nobody can compete with City in that. Reigning champions City have started the season well and are unbeaten so far.

They have shown they can still score, thanks to Roberto Firmino finding the back of the net six times thus far (tied for third in the EPL), but Liverpool’s inability to finish matches are the reason why they are tied for 10th in the league with just 10 points. Heading into Sunday’s action, City is the lone club in the league that has yet to lose a match, winning seven of their first nine matches. However, their two draws have kept that back of league-leading Arsenal, as Manchester is just one point back of the Gunners. Manchester City is ho-humming their way near the top of the EPL tables as we move through October.
