WHEN

-

I think of the great teams from the Premier League era, two spring to mind — Manchester United’s 1999 Treble winners and the Arsenal Invincible­s of 2003-04. The way things are going this season, Manchester City have the potential to be just as good as those history-makers. Stoke felt their full force last month when they beat us 7-2. One thing that stands out for me from that day was Kevin De Bruyne. He produced one of the best performanc­es I’ve ever seen ‘live’. The weight of his passing was absolutely devastatin­g. I wouldn’t rule United out of the race but, as things stand, the title is City’s to lose. If they start winning trophies under Pep Guardiola, they have the potential to be remembered like the other greats.
