Pep Guardiola is expected to push for success in all competitions, and that can work both ways; victories in cups can help build momentum in the league, but too many games can lead to a drop in performance and crucial points.
City always aim to be in contention for trophies when the final months of the season come round, but to do that next season they will have to overcome a monster run of fixtures in January and February.
Between January 25 and February 25, the reigning champions face Chelsea at home, Arsenal away, Newcastle at home, Liverpool at home and then Spurs away.
Between the Arsenal and Newcastle matches, they could also play the second leg of a league cup semifinal if they make it that far as well as an FA Cup fourth round tie; realistically, the Blues are looking at at least one extra match.
