Man City boss says squad now has depth to challenge Arsenal after Coventry win

Breaking: Man City boss Enzo Maresca says his squad now has the depth needed to challenge Arsenal after a 1-0 win over Coventry City, courtesy of a first-half header from Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Maresca pointed to City’s summer spending spree, which saw them sign Ayyoub Bouaddi for £86 million, Iliman Ndiaye for £65 million and Enzo Fernandez for £125 million on deadline day, adding to the £116 million earlier outlay for Elliot Anderson. The total £458 million sets a new Premier League record for a summer transfer window.

City currently lead the Premier League with victories over Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Coventry, sitting on nine points. Arsenal could join them on nine points if they defeat Chelsea on Sunday, while Chelsea could also reach nine points with a win over Arsenal.

With City’s squad depth now matching Arsenal’s options, will you adjust your EPL title predictions or fantasy league choices, or does the extra competition make the race more exciting to watch?
