From the stats I gathered, I think Manchester city are still well in check in the title race and the reason for this set back they are currently experiencing is just because of the absence of the main backbone of this Manchester city side which is the present of Kevin de byrune. His absence has been really felt by this team and I think the faster he recovers the better for the team.
to win the title in the EPL, Man City is still strong enough to do it, even to get the title in the UCL, Man City and Guardiola are still able to do it even though sadness occurred when De Bruyne had not recovered from the injury he suffered. but that does not mean losing the injured player. Man City will be weak on one side as long as the team still has Haalanda, Rodri will definitely improve his performance little to get the title that has been planned. even if Rodri is not as good as De Bruyne, his talent is good, but he can replace the role other injured players to continue to secure victory.
In the upcoming match, they will compete against opponents who are not strong enough, such as Brighton, and in the UCL match, Man City will have to face Young Boys and this is also not a strong team for Guardiola. so the next 2 matches will be very easy to beat but you have to be a little consistent because the match schedule has a slightly closer break but I am quite sure Man City will still shine at the top of the standings at the end of season.
