Shaun Wright-Phillips makes Arsenal admission as he gives verdict on Man City title chances

Shaun Wright-Phillips believes unwarranted questions are being asked of Manchester City following what has been a dismal week for the club.

City were eliminated from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Southampton last Wednesday before throwing away a lead to lose 2-1 at Manchester United. The combined 180 minutes saw Pep Guardiola's side register just one shot on target - Jack Grealish's header at Old Trafford - and Erling Haaland kept uncharacteristically quiet.

With dropped points at home to Everton and Brentford either side of the World Cup break, murmurs of discontent have grown among the City faithful. But former Etihad favourite Wright-Phillips has downplayed the so-called issues with Guardiola's side, stressing that a short change in fortunes could easily see them back at the top of the league.
