Manchester City is known for its defensive prowess, as their options on and off the bench are extremely vivid. With the recent inclusion of Aymeric Laporte, City's defense is more than a complete package. The veterans Nicolas Otamendi and Vincent Kompany often make appearances and have been the most important defenders in the club's history.

With John Stones and Laporte being the first choice for Guardiola this season, they have been able to stop every single team that stepped in front of them.

Fernandinho adds on to the defensive line and has been a 'rock' of a defensive midfielder, stopping plays and being an occasional attacker at the same time. The full-backs, Mendy and Walker provide width to City's machinery and have had a grand time contributing to the offense and the defense.
