Manc City made an early-season statement with a dominant 3-0 victory over Premier League champions Chelsea, prompting captain Vincent Kompany to call on his side and manager Manuel Pellegrini to stick to their winning formula.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says Yaya Toure’s match-winning two-goal display against West Bromwich Albion on Monday is a clear sign the Ivorian is back to his best.

Manchester City duo Manuel Pellegrini and Vincent Kompany promised the club’s return to Premier League greatness in 2016 at the season launch party last week.

MM take a look at what both Manchester City and Manchester United have been up to this summer and how they might fare in 2015/16.

Now in its third year, Manchester City’s season launch will be hosted by Sky Sports presenting duo Natalie Sawyer and Mike Wedderburn and headlined by Manchester band ‘Black Rivers’, who are led by lifelong blues fans and former members of ‘Doves’, Jez and Andy Williams.

Once Manchester United got into top gear en route to a 4-2 derby defeat of Manchester City, Manuel Pellegrini’s men were unable to cope, the manager shouldering the blame for their humiliating loss.

Man City defeated West Brom 3-0 at The Etihad on Saturday to keep pressure on the league leaders, only for Jose Mourinho’s men to beat Hull City 3-2 on Sunday.

City are currently on fire with six consecutive wins and celebrated qualification into the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday.

On Monday City opened their new state-of-the-art £200million training ground in the presence of playing legends past and present.

The shortlist features the world’s 55 best players, including Argentinians Aguero and Pablo Zabaleta, Ivory Coast’s Yaya Toure, and club captain Belgian Vincent Kompany.

Trailing 2-1 with five minutes to go against Munich in the Champions League, Sergio Aguero capitalised on two errors to clinch the game 3-2 for City.
