Manchester City go to Arsenal on Sunday for a top of the Premier League table clash with confidence restored and normal winning service resumed.
I was on hand in Germany to watch Pep Guardiola's team boss possession and the game in their 3-1 win over RB Leipzig on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League, inspired by a moment of genius from Julián Álvarez as he chipped a delicious goal to effectively win the game following a spell of stubborn resistance from the Bundesliga side. The result ended any concerns that City might be showing signs of vulnerability after successive losses to Newcastle and Wolves.
