#1 Defense wins you titles
It’s a clichéd saying that is used in almost any sports movie, but there is a reason that it’s become a clichéd saying. Some may say that the best offense is the best defense but for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, they’ve made it their priority not to concede any goals if they can help it and with John Stones and Aymeric Laporte combining well, it’s all happening for the Etihad Stadium side.
Three goals, that’s all they’ve conceded in their first 10 Premier League games, with only Huddersfield, Wolves and Newcastle United getting on the scoresheet against the reigning Champions. However, what makes things even more impressive is the fact that they haven’t conceded for seven hours in the Premier League, which is six games on the bounce since the 1st of September and they've only lost 2 in their last 56 games..
Going forward, this is going to be a massive asset especially against the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and even Liverpool, although they don’t play Jurgen Klopp and his side until 2019. But with Manchester City somewhat struggling in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola would certainly want his side to do the same in Europe’s biggest competition.
