Rodri return boosts City
It is rare occurrence when Man City lose a single game and therefore seeing them lose three matches in a row is almost unprecedented.
But that is exactly what has happened domestically over the past month, with a Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle followed by league losses to Wolves and Arsenal.
However, it is perhaps less surprising this coincided with Rodri's three-game suspension after the midfielder was sent off for grappling with Morgan Gibbs-White during the 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest last month.
