If there is one thing this season which is going to separate City from their rivals and ensure their success across all competitions, it is there ridiculous strength in depth.

Most clubs would give anything for one world class striker, but City have two. Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus have both started the season superbly, with five and six goals respectively.

In midfield, the addition of Bernardo Silva in the summer has added some more depth to an already talented attacking line-up, while the likes of Leroy Sane and youngster Phil Foden both have plenty to offer off the bench.

At the back, John Stones looks to be improving, while Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi offer more power in defence. These three, plus the quality at full back of Walker and Mendy, give City plenty of options to see out a hard season.
