Manchester City couldn’t have wished for a better start to the season. Pep Guardiola’s side had a 5-0 victory against West Ham United in their inaugural Premier League game. While the start was impressive, they couldn’t keep up with Liverpool and eventually lost some matches and had some major injury woes, most notably with Aymeric Llaporte. The team has accumulated 4 losses so far, the most recent being the one against city rivals Manchester United. All is not down however, considering the team is placed 3rd with Kevin De Bruyne playing some of the best football in the league.

The team is currently second, having lost zero of their last 5 matches.

Fantasy Prediction : Tougher than usual considering Manchester City’s general strength and Leicester City’s immensely impressive form. We’d still pick Manchester City to win 2-1 because the sheer amount of capable players in the team is staggering. On top of that, there seems to be very little that can put a stop to Kevin De Bruyne at the moment.
