3 reasons why Manchester City will not win the 2016/17 Premier League title

What if Aguero gets injured?

Sergio Aguero is arguably the best striker in the division, and has been ever since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in 2011.

However, he has also sustained a lot of injuries in his time at the Etihad, and it must concern City fans if he gets injured again at some point this season.

Yes, Kelechi Iheanacho did well when Aguero got suspended at the start of the season, but it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to lead the line for six plus matches if needed.

The same could be said of Nolito who, although he has occasionally done well, is still adapting to English football.

When they won the league in 2011/12, Roberto Mancini had Aguero, Edin Dzeko, and Mario Balotelli as his forward options, and they netted 50 league goals between them that season.

When they won the league in 2013/14, Manuel Pellegrini had Aguero, Dzeko, Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetic leading the line, and they netted 45 league goals between them that season.

Looking at the current options, it’s difficult to see those numbers being reproduced this season.
