The fact that Manchester City lost to Arsenal is a clear indication that they will be unable to retain their premier league crown season after season. I sincerely doubt that Manchester City will once again be a premier league powerhouse. Premier League teams are starting to figure out how to neutralize Manchester City's dominating strategies in every game. Currently, Haaland is playing less effectively in games as a result of Kelvin Bruyne's injury absence. Those lovely passes that Manchester City employs to score against their opponent are not being made by anyone on the team.

Apart from Kevin DeBruyne that was injured, Rodri is another Man City influencial player that was out due to Red card against Wolves meanwhile Guordiola allowed Gundogan and Mahrez to be sold thus his action had created a big vacuum in the club thus the club won't be able to defend their title this season with just few matches played they had lost two matches back.to back which is indeed a big blow to the team having considered plenty matches to be played and I am very sure they can't win of their remaining matches

Rodri got the red card in the match against Nottm Forest, not that of Wolves. He wasn't in the lineup of the Manchester City squad that played against Wolves because of the red card he got from the Nottm Forest match.

Having said that Rodri's performance in each Manchester City match is not one to go unnoticed. The impact he creates on the field of play for Manchester City mostly brings them winning in their matches.

Statistically, the premier league record of Rodri's performance towards Manchester City has it that, Manchester City have lost 6 matches out of their 16 matches without Rodri. And a total of 67 matches that Rodri has played, Manchester City only lost 5 out of them.

In Manchester City's next match against Brighton, Rodri will be featured in the match. I am expecting Manchester City to win that match.
