A storm is brewing ahead of Manchester City, and in terms of scheduling it's as ominous as it gets.
Defending European champion Chelsea, fellow financial behemoth PSG and the last team to deny Man City the Premier League title, Liverpool, all await in its next three games. All three games are away from home. All three games are potential Champions League final matchups. All of these opponents are among the best clubs in the world.
Like those other elite teams, Man City has depth to the point that it could probably field two teams that would challenge for Champions League qualification, one where the backups have backups who could break into most first teams.
