MARTIN KEOWN: Pep Guardiola's tactics to evolve his team have turned Man City into a Covid-proof winning machine while Liverpool and Chelsea are too reliant on their stars

Manchester City look like a Covid-proof winning machine. They are more prepared for disruptions than any other team in the Premier League because of the way their manager Pep Guardiola constantly evolves his side, regardless of who is or isn’t available.

It was back on October 30 when City last lost, a 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace. At that time they were third, Liverpool second and Chelsea first.

These three juggernauts are still jostling for supremacy but City have taken a nice lead at the top. They’ve gone into overdrive, winning 10 in a row and scoring 31 goals in the process.
