Manchester City youngster Oscar Bobb believes this season's Elite Development Squad can eclipse last season's Premier League 2 title winners.
City have lost just twice in the league and are two points clear of Chelsea with a game in hand. The Blues, who are coached by former Rochdale manager Brian Barry-Murphy, also gave a good account of themselves in the Papa John's Trophy with a notable win at Derby County.
Although they were knocked out in the group stages following a penalty shoot-out defeat to Grimsby Town, City's academy has gone from strength to strength. The 3-1 victory over Liverpool last time out saw Bobb and Carlos Borges steal the show.
