Former England coach Glenn Hoddle rates Manchester City as the best team in the world.
Hoddle insists their 4-4 draw at Chelsea was no setback for the defending champions.
Have I got an hour to talk about City?! I could talk about City all day!" said Hoddle to City's website.
I think they're the best team in the world right now and I'd include any international team in that.
The football they play, the squad they've got is phenomenal.
City lost their best player in Kevin De Bruyne and you could never tell that in a million years, the way they play - and they do it with any XI they put out.
The way they pass and keep the ball is quite incredible, I don't think we've ever seen that anywhere else, besides when Pep at Barcelona and there, if it wasn't going well they could just give it the little magic man Messi and he'd do the rest.
They are a fantastic football team. They've improved on the defensive side since Pep has come in too, because at the start, they didn't have the right keeper and playing out from the back is difficult for a lot of teams - but not for City anymore because they've put that right as well.
It's not easy to play the ball out from the back as well as City do.
It's also very difficult to play against City because when they have the ball, how do you then set up to go and give them problems?
That is the big question. City are a wonderful team."
