Former Liverpool player Graeme Souness had lyricism about Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and what they can still achieve with a remarkable hat-trick still on the cards
Liverpool legend and renowned Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness has hailed Pep Guardiola's Manchester City as one of the greatest clubs in English football history.
The defending champions are looking to retain their crowns after beating title rivals Arsenal with ease on Wednesday night at the Etihad. The match was hardly an even contest, such as Man City's dominance as Kevin De Bruyne's two goals along with goals from John Stones and Erling Haaland sent the home side down 4-1. in what is considered the most important clash of the season.
Souness admits the 4-1 scoreline really pleased Arsenal and that without the excellent saves from Gunners goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, City could have scored more than that in front of their visitors.
City will face rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final next month and will face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, most likely scoring a remarkable treble. As a result, he now believes Guardiola's side can be mentioned alongside some of the most iconic teams in the league's history.
Writing in the Letter, Soulness stated:
“I think City are now convinced that they are the best team in the Premier League ever, having joined Manchester United in the late 1990s and Arsenal in the early 2000s.
YES SAY YOUR SAY! If Man City won the treble, would they be the best team in English football history? Comment below

"The next challenge for them is to simultaneously dominate Europe and domestic football. Only one team can do that - Liverpool in the 1970s and 1980s." Only when they achieve this will we be able to say Man City are one of the best English teams of all time.
"They are certainly capable of winning the treble and their only enemy now is the ever-changing player in football. Complacency. For Guardiola, it's about keeping his best players. , never let them perish."
While Souness has voiced his support, Guardiola has been reluctant to discuss the idea.
Earlier this week, the City boss told reporters:
“I will tell you about it after I win the FA Cup and the Premier League. "Before the Champions League final, we'll start talking about the treble. Look how far it is. We're so far away. How many times in this wonderful country have the trebles been achieved? 'year? How many teams are there?
