The thought of facing Pep Guardiola’s rampaging Manchester City side is a frightening prospect.
In each of their last three Premier League games they have scored five or more goals, and have 21 in total at the time of writing. City fans haven't stopped smiling.
But shortly before Sheikh Mansour pumped his money into the club it was pretty dire. Ask any City supporter about the 2006/07 season and they will probably shudder at the thought – they’ve erased it from memory to make room for the many happy ones since the club turned football on its head in 2008.
