Liverpool great Graeme Souness has hailed Manchester City's current squad as the best English football has seen.
Souness wrote for the Daily Mail: "Manchester City have assembled what, in my opinion, is the best group of players at a football club in the history of our game and their dismantling of Arsenal on Wednesday night proved that fact.
"City were like top dogs in a school playground - toying with Arsenal and bullying them. The scoreline did not tell the full story. They could have scored seven. It was an extraordinary display of their strength.
"This is what the wealth of a Gulf state buys you. With the commercial might of Abu Dhabi behind them, they have been able to buy the very best players. When players such as Danilo or Claudio Bravo have not worked out, they have been able to brush off those mistakes like a fleck of dandruff. A mild inconvenience.
"With the exception of Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson and Erling Haaland, every player Pep Guardiola withdraws to makes a substitution is replaced by an individual of the same quality. What a glorious position for Guardiola to find himself in."
