The record books show that Manchester City have made light work of the Premier League over the last three years, winning back-to-back-to-back titles and playing revolutionary football in the process.
They have won those titles without a striker for two years, and without a left-back in 2022/23, making the best out of their versatile squad where rivals have fallen away thanks to injuries in key positions.
Yet it's easy to forget a couple of things when looking back over the last three years. Firstly, it hasn't all been easy. They won the league on the final day of the 2021/22 season to stop another fine Liverpool challenge, while Arsenal looked destined to win the Premier League for months until falling away during the run-in last term. In 2021, they had to win the title without Sergio Aguero for the most part, introducing the rotating false nine strategy.
