Manchester City returned to their scintillating best against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Perhaps the opponents were so bad that not much should be read into it but for the first time this season, Manchester City put in a near-perfect display on Sunday.
It's completely understandable as to why, given half of the core starting XI that was so crucial to the treble triumph was unavailable. Captain Ilkay Gundogan has left, Kevin De Bruyne managed just 20 minutes on the opening day before being ruled out until 2024 and John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish all had injury problems.
The international break came at the perfect time for City to recuperate and get their injured players back fit. Since returning to action, they have been back to winning ways. Victories over Brighton and Young Boys weren't exactly convincing but then up stepped Manchester United to give a real confidence booster.
