Former Arsenal fullback Bacary Sagna still rates Manchester City as Premier League title favourites.
City have slipped in recent weeks, though bounced back at Manchester United on Sunday.
Sagna told Genting Casino: "Manchester City got off to a slow start to the season after winning the treble. They had a slow start because City played more games than any other team in the Premier League last season.
"The City players had a longer holiday, so pre-season started a little bit later with the first team squad. Now they are finding their way.
"They are starting to show with their performances on the pitch why Manchester City are the best team in the world."
