FA Community Shield: 3 key takeaways from Manchester City vs Chelsea

#1 Manchester City look primed to dominate

Pep Guardiola

For all the eyes fixated on figuring out Sarri’s tactics, it is worth noting just how easy a game this was for Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola’s men were a cut above the London outfit. Their passing was crisp and accurate, solid in defense and ruthless with their finishing. It is difficult to see any team, except Liverpool, challenging them for the title.

With Chelsea and Arsenal going through managerial changes, Tottenham refusing to make new signings and Jose Mourinho about to start his 3rd season tantrums, the race to win the Premier League has effectively become a two-horse race.

Manchester City, with the depth and experience in their squad, look primed to dominate this era in English football.
