Unfortunately I am not among the everyone that expected that Manchester City will return to their best from this season. I know that Manchester City is not going to win the English Premier League again at least for the next three consecutive seasons.
There is time for everything and they used their time very well to make record in the English Premier League but I am sorry to say there are time has gone. When the won the Champions League, Premier League consecutively and dominated, they felt arrived and began to sell their important players thereby distabilizing their team. So it will take another long time to rebuild
Still early for predicting about Manchester City will fail for winning premier league tittle after inconsistent performance in last three games, have many games left and bigger chance for Citizen get finish at higher standings position or taking possibility top standings place from Liverpool have consistent performance in last three games. Pep Guardiola build up good composition team although have sell several top players but the recruitment in this season as top players such as Rayan Aït-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Upcoming match after international break Manchester City against Manchester United, its excited match because new recruitment Gianluigi Donnarumma will make debut for this match and surely will return back to winning trend.
