Meanwhile, former Chelsea legend Didier Drogba had told Goal that Pep Guardiola has taken Kevin De Bruyne’s game to another level.
The MEN report (via Goal): “Drogba believes that the 27-year-old has gotten ever better under the stewardship of Guardiola.
‘I think for Kevin he was really young, and in the team, we had all these big names,’ the Ivorian told Goal.
‘He decided to go and play. In football, it is straightforward, the more you play, the better you become. The more you can understand the game, the more you can read the game and become confident.
‘That’s exactly what happened with him. When you have a manager like Guardiola who is helping him to understand and read the game faster, wow, he has become a different player."
Finally, among the daily round-up of pundits and former players predicting this season’s title race outcome, the Blues have found an ally – albeit a reluctant one.
Live4Liverpool write: “Liverpool’s Champions League-winning left back John Arne Riise has said that he believes Manchester City will win this season’s Premier League title.
“Pep Guardiola’s side sit in pole position at the top of the tree after their victory over Fulham, and Riise feels that the Reds will ultimately fail to catch them.
‘I still think City’s going to win it,’ he told beIN SPORTS. ‘I hope not, I really hope Liverpool can do it, but I just think City are too strong.
‘I know City are going to meet [Manchester] United and Tottenham, so Spurs has a good chance to stir up the title race for a little bit. But I just see that City… they just don’t stop.
“If Liverpool met City in the seven games to go I would believe more, because then you can beat City. But I just don’t see City losing games.’
Let’s hope he’s right!
