LONDON (AFP) - English champions Manchester City slumped to a third shock crush in four Premier League games at Leicester on Boxing morning to fall to third in the table and seven points adrift of unbeaten leaders Liverpool.Just a few weeks ago they seemed unstoppable as they started their title defence bearing in mind a 15-game unbeaten run.However, a 2-0 reverse at Chelsea has sparked a govern of three defeats in 18 days as Crystal Palace and Leicester both came from at the rear to hand Liverpool a big advantage in the title race ahead of their trip to outlook City on Jan 3. Here, AFP Sports looks at what has caused City's terse collapse:1. Fernandinho irreplaceable
City coped admirably in Kevin de Bruyne's malingering for most of the stir up opinion through slight thanks to an array of creative midfielders, but have terribly missed Fernandinho's deed to put-on the more destructive role in midfield in the last two games.The 33-year-old Brazilian had started every league game until Palace's visit on Saturday and is the one performer in City's squad without a natural replacement. Centre-back John Stones deputised at the weekend, while the more attack-minded Ilkay Gundogan was deployed at the base of the midfield in Leicester."We have to attempt and locate solutions. Ferna was not competent to put-on because he's injured. We have to overcome this problem," said coach Pep Guardiola, who tried to sign Chelsea midfielder Jorginho from Napoli in the summer as cover for Fernandinho."You have to think practically how to solve it bearing in mind you don't have players in a position."2. Four competitions admit their toll
Even for a squad as deep as City's, English football's unique assimilation of a packed festive grow old and an other mug competition can stretch resources.Just eight days ago a mighty City side stress a much-changed Leicester to achieve the League mug semi-finals and stay live in four competitions.Leicester boss Claude Puel claimed victory on Wednesday was vindication for his criticised team selection in the mug tie bearing in mind the Foxes lively to spring surprises greater than both Chelsea and City in the bearing in mind five days.As without difficulty as de Bruyne, Sergio Aguero didn't start adjoining Chelsea or Palace due to injury, while David Silva has as well as been sidelined by slight in recent weeks.3. Missing Mendy
Left-back has as well as been a misery position, even as City enjoyed good deed last season, due to Benjamin Mendy's knee troubles.The Frenchman's compensation to fitness and form in the ahead of time weeks of the season promised to manage to pay for City an other dimension to their attacking play, but he has been sidelined anew before ahead of time November.Fabian Delph, a central midfielder by trade, has filled in at left-back, but is now facing a three-match ban, including the Liverpool game, after visceral sent off tardy on at Leicester.4. Defending the Premier League difficult
Guardiola won three consecutive league titles at both Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but retaining the title in England has proved impossible for any team in the bearing in mind decade.A Manchester joined side containing Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were the last to do it in 2008-09.City's cassette haul of 100 points last season led many to admit they would buck that trend, but it is proving tougher than expected."Last season, everyone said it was correspondingly easy, but I know how hard it was," insisted Guardiola."Last season we were correspondingly consistent and made a lot of points. They (Liverpool and Spurs) are both correspondingly consistent."5. Can City chase?
The ask remains whether a Guardiola side is intelligent of chasing all along a title antagonist to win the league in the tone Alex Ferguson's Manchester joined made routine in the 1990s.In most of Guardiola's seven title triumphs, his Barca, Bayern and City sides have been without difficulty in stomach by this stage of the season.Now they have to put-on catch-up and their dearth of reply to going at the rear to Chelsea, Palace and Leicester leaves City's mentality right to use to question."We have to locate an explanation," said Bernardo Silva. "It's mathematically possible, but we have to be all but perfect from now."
