Manchester City's ability to call upon multiple quality reinforcements from the bench will help them keep the title pressure on Arsenal, according to their game-changing substitute Jack Grealish.
City were poor in the first half at Chelsea on Thursday, but Pep Guardiola made a double substitution at half time to correct his failed formation experiment, and then called for Grealish and Riyad Mahrez on the hour mark to inject more energy into the attack. Within three minutes, Grealish set up Mahrez for the game's only goal, and City returned to within five points of Arsenal.
While Grealish admitted he would have preferred to start the game, he pointed to City's strength in depth as a title advantage - something that was highlighted by pundits and commentators after Arsenal's bench on Tuesday vs Newcastle had few game-changing options and they went on to drop points.
