5 reasons why Manchester City can match Arsenal's 'Invincibles' 

#4 A splendid midfield

Kevin de Bruyne has been sublime in midfield this season

The midfield is the most important aspect of any successful football team and there has never been a Premier League winning team, who have not had excellent midfielders at the heart of the pitch. Arsenal's Invincibles were blessed with the presence of the Brazilian Gilberto Silva, who could screen the defence and make short passes to the attackers, while Frenchman Patrick Vieira was an all-action central midfielder who had the ability to dominate the midfield like no other.

So is the case with Manchester City, who have created a midfield dynamic that allows them to dominate the heart of the pitch against most teams. In Fernandinho, they have a midfielder who can do a similar job as Gilberto and in fact, he is perhaps the only midfielder who can be as good as Chelsea's N'Golo Kante on a consistent basis.

On the other hand, the likes of David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne provide an attacking thrust that can completely overwhelm the best midfield talents on their day and so far they have decisively won the midfield battles in all games that they have played. Like Arsenal's legendary team and Pep Guardiola's very own world-beating Barcelona team of the past, City have also created a midfield that can make this team one of the best in Premier League history.
