Episode notes

The Athletic's Sam Lee joins David Mooney to look at how City have gone from worrying about their place in the top four, to title favourites in just a couple of months.

They examine how the system has been tweaked to get the best out of the players - and what's sparked the improvement in John Stones and Ruben Dias.
