Aguero assesses Premier League title race

Former City striker, Aguero has looked into the title race from the perspective of KDB’s return as an advantage to Pep Guardiola’s side.

"Kevin's return is massive," he told Stake. "While City was able to make do without him for a few months, his presence is still a key factor to the team's performance."

'Kun' also discussed De Bruyne's impact on the game itself, as well as the effect he has on the opposition.

"We saw that clear as day when he came in against Newcastle and allowed us to take back the lead.

"Calling the race over would be an overstatement. A single player cannot win a league. But we come out bolstered by Kevin's recovery, no doubt about that," he added.

The Citizens have won five of the last six titles, including the previous three consecutively. Liverpool’s first title in 30 years in the 2019/20 season broke what could have been a monopoly.
