We're seeing them not defending as well.

We're seeing them very poor from open play.

They're not creating the chances.

The eye test will tell you, and the stats will back it up.

Not once in 10 games has the XG been over one.

I'm not saying you need to be in the XG, but it kind of paints a little bit of a picture about how many chances you're creating.

So the chances are down.

The confidence is down.

The creativity is down.

The confidence is all over the place.

And the set pieces, either teams are figuring them out or the delivery's not as good.

But whatever way you want to look at it, every statistic where they were more successful from March and before, first of March and previously, they have started to go down.

Now, is that just form?

Or is that the fact that City just haven't quite gone away?

There's a lot of pressure, there's a lot of talk, and none of these players have proven they've got over the line.

As Jan said, I'd still rather be in Arsenal's position.

Because you can always find something.

I'd rather have the team with more points than the games in hand.

But if this trend that's shown in those stats continues, the chances are they're going to lose more games.

The big question is, can City put that run together?
