1) Manchester City – Vincent Kompany, Martin Demichelis, Eliaquim Mangala, Nicolas Otamendi
The Otamendi signing has indeed made City the best defensive group in the Premier League. Manuel Pellegrini now has four good options to choose from, all of whom offer him something different.
Captain Kompany seems motivated to regain the title this season and has kept successive clean sheets at the start of the campaign with the help of Mangala, who now has a year in England under his belt.
Demichelis is a confident and composed ball-playing centre-back, while Otamendi is a no-nonsense warrior who was considered to be the best defender in La Liga last term. Crown City champions now.
