Chris Sutton has claimed no club can threaten Man City's dominance of English football while Pep Guardiola is in charge - and questioned how Newcastle can progress to the top despite being the world's richest club.
Since Guardiola took over at the Etihad in 2016, City have won the Premier League on five occasions, including for the past three years, while the Spaniard also guided them to a historic Treble last season.
They look well-primed to make it four in a row, although they face fierce competition from Arsenal and Liverpool in a pulsating three-way title race.
