Manchester City HAVE to be favourites to win the Premier League - Laurens | ESPN FC

ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti and Julien Laurens (The Gab and Juls Show) analyse Manchester City's 2-0 win against Aston Villa in the Premier League. Both sides played out a frantically paced game but despite Villa's stubbornness, Man City were able to take a controversial lead through Bernardo Silva. Villa manager Dean Smith was sent off following the decision to let play carry on despite Rodri seemingly coming from an offside position. However, Laurens believes it was the right call and was shocked to see so many people disagree with the decision. Man City's Ilkay Gundogan scored late on with a penalty which saw City go top of the table for a short time before Manchester United beat Fulham 2-1. Laurens and Marcotti both believe Manchester City are now favourites to win the Premier League, however, Marcotti believes City will need to rely on Sergio Aguero's fitness to do it.
