Paul Scholes makes interesting Manchester City comparison with Arsenal

Manchester United legend Paul Scoles has backed Manchester City to join an illustrious Premier League club this season and admitted he wouldn’t be surprised if the Citizens go through the entire season without losing a match. City continued their domestic season with a comfortable 3-1 in derby fixture against Manchester United. Speaking after the match Scholes gave his verdict on City’s title chances and compared their unbeaten run to that of Arsenal when the Gunners went through the entire 2003-04 league season unbeaten under Arsene Wenger. “We’ve talked about the Arsenal team that went right through the season without losing a game and the more you look at the City team, I don’t see where they are going to get beat," Scholes told Premier League Productions. “I watched the game against Wolves and thought it could be a tricky season for them, but ever since then – I know it’s not too many games – I just don’t see who is going to get near them. I don’t see a team who will beat them. “I think Liverpool will probably be the closest, but I just think they [City] are that good, they are in control. “You look at the bench as well [against United]. [Gabriel] Jesus not brought on, a brilliant centre-forward, [Ilkay] Gundogan, they bring on, scores a goal. They've just got quality in every position. “I think if they are at it every game, they won't lose a game.”
