Pep Guardiola has witnessed his side suffer back-to-back defeats in England's top flight, with the most recent coming by a 1-0 scoreline away at Arsenal.

However, after a period where the defending champions have been impacted by injuries to key players, the international break came at the right time ahead of resuming their quest to retain their trophy.
