Manchester City without Kelvin De Bruyne and Rodri is an overhyped team. The absence of both players have had a negative impact on the team’s performance in the last three games including defeat to Arsenal this weekend which is the most recent lose they have conceded.

With Pep noticing the importance of these players and how their absence can seriously affect the teams performance, he is a smart man and will not want to remain limited to them, so that if there is another time like this this season in all the competitions they play were they have to be without Rodri, that their team will still be able to maintain their high performance. This two losses in the premier league does not mean that they cannot still go on to win the premier league again, it just shows that they are not very strong this season.

I do not agree that they are not very strong this season because they have almost the same squad as last year and they also added an important defender like Gvardiol to the team. They still maintain their good squad from last year and are still one of the strong teams in the EPL. I think they are still the strongest teams for the championship.

Man City is still the strongest candidate to win the title again this season. Arsenal's defeat was very unfortunate. But any strong club will definitely experience defeat every once in a while. They will not be able to always win matches without ever losing. And Arsenal is indeed on fire. so I'm not surprised they are superior. Meanwhile, Man City is currently being hit by player injuries. If Gundogan is still at Man City, I am sure the absence of several Man City players will not really affect the club's performance. Currently Man City is indeed weaker than usual. But last season something like this happened. But in the end Man City was able to bounce back at the right time and win the title last season. Even though last season Arsenal were only a few steps away from winning the title. But Man City still succeeded in overtaking them well.
