#1 Manchester City still a force to be reckoned with
The Champions proved that they still have a hunger for silverware, and will fight to break the curse and retain their title. Manchester City breezed through Arsenal with a 2-0 win against the Gunners as Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva made it to the score sheet.
Even without three important players starting the game - Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and captain Vincent Kompany - Pep Guardiola’s side proved to be a threat in their attacking while also showing off their impeccable ball distribution.
While Arsenal had a few creative moments, they were mostly outplayed by the champions, while also struggling to play the ball out from the back paired with a lot of glaring mistakes defensively.
With the addition of Riyad Mahrez and the return of Silva and Kompany set soon, Manchester City looks like a team that is still in the race towards the title with little chances of slowing down.
The injury layoff of Kevin De Bruyne will come as a big blow to the CItyzens but with an impressive squad depth, Pep Guardiola's side still has what it takes to retain the PL crown.
