Former England striker Ian Wright feels Manchester City give Raheem Sterling the confidence to play his best where as he is under more pressure with England.
While examining Manchester City's projected XI to face Arsenal, the FC crew ponder how Pep Guardiola will manage his abundance of attacking options.
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is facing a spell on the sidelines after injuring his right knee in training on Wednesday.
A club statement said the full extent of the injury is not yet known, however the Belgium international was on crutches after suffering the injury.
De Bruyne, 27, is expected to fly to Barcelona for further tests with specialist Dr. Ramon Cugat who treated him when suffered a knee injury in January 2016.
The Barcelona-based specialist also helped City teammates Ilkay Gundogan and Benjamin Mendy recover from cruciate knee ligament injuries.

De Bruyne only returned to training last Monday after helping Belgium to the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia.
He was a second-half substitute in the 2-0 Premier League-opening victory over Arsenal on Sunday, coming on in the 60th minute.
His loss will be a major blow to Pep Guardiola after helping City to a record-breaking 100 points last season on the way to the title. He claimed the most assists for a second-successive year although he was beaten by Liverpool's Mohammed Salah to the Player of the Year award.
City do, however, have David Silva, Bernardo Silva and Gundogan who can offset his loss in midfield. And De Bruyne's injury could present an early opportunity for exciting youngster Phil Foden.
