Manchester City, playing a day later than Liverpool and Arsenal, is perhaps the forgotten contender in the Premier League title race. For a game not involving Liverpool in any way, there were plenty of Liverpool links (and not just that the Etihad side won without playing that well, which was a theme for the Reds in their opening games).

Each of the three teams in title contention, though — Liverpool, Arsenal and Guardiola's men — have scored a similar number of goals, with none having yet fully taken flight. Even with Manchester City winning here, though, Guardiola's men, now only two points behind Liverpool, have a worse record than the Reds.

They have lost two games too, the difference being a draw with Arsenal vs Liverpool's win. Yet while there is a question mark over Manchester City generally and it has been a bad week for Liverpool, it is too early to be making concrete judgments on anyone.
