even though it's still early in the season but Manchester City has already suffered 2 defeats and Manchester City still has 30 more matches to play in the Premier League, I'm a little worried about Manchester City's current performance which is not yet completely consistent and the absence of 2 players in the main squad Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri will slightly affect their performance in facing matches in the Premier League and also in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola must take quick steps to replace these 2 players so that Manchester City does not experience a decline.
Rodri isn't injured, while De Bruyne will back in the mid December this year, from now until mid December there are 8 matches to go. So De Bruyne (hopefully) will able to play the next 22 matches. It's still enough for Manchester City to back become the champion since there are still many matches.
Manchester City might lose 3-4 matches since they will meet big clubs, but it will not ruin them in the long run.
When De Bruyne, Rodri join Manchester City, Manchester City's attack will be stronger. De Bruyne picked up an injury while playing in the Champions League final and has not been able to return to action so far, but he is sure to join the team in December.
Manchester City have only had two bad games at the start of the season and the rest they have done quite well and hopefully they will do well in the few games they have until next December. As Manchester City's most important players will be joining them in December, I think Manchester City will definitely do well in the rest of the season from December onwards.
Although other teams are number one or number two in the table, I still believe Manchester City is the favorite for this season and they can definitely win the Premier League title this season.
