Manchester City as underdogs? That’s a weird thing to think, for the past three seasons Manchester City have always started the season poorly and picked up along the way. I expect the same thing to happen this season too. City made some changes to their squad which I believe is having an impact on the team’s stability and form, some of these players are still adapting to the league and Guardiola’s playing style. It will be a matter of time before they start playing better as a team and getting the preferred results.
I understand why they say that, as we know Manchester City's performance is inconsistent so some people are doubtful and not sure they can compete with Arsenal and Liverpool well they don't realize that we can't conclude just by looking at a few matches. I think Manchester City is still a threat to those who want to compete at the top of the standings.
