Manchester City made no transfers this window except for bringing in Mahrez. The rest of the squad has remained the same from last season.

Guardiola clearly has the team that he wants and the players have also been well versed in playing Pep's style of football. So why fix something that isn't broken?

The familiarity with the tactics as well as with each other is clearly visible on the pitch. Possession retention and a beautiful passing game seem to be the approach of the club and the players work it to perfection.

Playing with the players one won the league last year can never go wrong. The Manchester City squad could have one of the strongest squads in the world right now and making any changes to the squad could threaten team cohesion and discipline.

This squad still has some unfinished business in the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup. With two wins already in the bag, the 'shark team' might be looking for more blood and will hope to retain their Premier League title while also attaining glory in the other three competitions they are participating in.
