Manchester City could go unbeaten under Pep Guardiola as former Barcelona and Manchester City boss seeks perfection, says Ian Wright
Guardiola has won all five of his Premier League matches so far, scoring an average of three goals
PEP GUARDIOLA is capable of leading Manchester City to an Invincible season, says SunSport's Ian Wright.
Arsene Wenger's Invincibles of 2003-04 are the only team in the Premier League era to have gone a full season without defeat in the league.
But Arsenal legend Wright believes Guardiola's City have been so good so far they could be capable of matching that feat.
City have already won all five of their opening games, with Guardiola matching Carlo Ancelotti as the only man to do that.
Ancelotti won the Double in his first season as Chelsea manager in 2009-10.
City dominated Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in the derby at Old Trafford and have also produced dominant wins over Stoke, West Ham and Bournemouth.
Pep's men are averaging three goals a game and have maximum points.
Speaking to SunSport chief Shaun Custis on the Sun Goals podcast, Wright said: "Pep Guardiola's still not satisfied, he will only accept 100 per cent.
"And that's why City can only get better.
"If there is a team that could be Invincible... maybe it's City."
Guardiola surprised and amused many when he said that Bournemouth were the best side his team had faced this season.
After thinly-veiled dig at rivals Manchester United, he also groaned that City were not ";perfect".
