David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne were instrumental as City's cruised to a 13th consecutive Premier League victory, and TV pundit and former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher praised the pair.
He described the Spaniard as one of the Premier League greats and the best player in Manchester City's history, alsosaying the midfielder may be usurped by de Bruyne in the future.
"In Silva, the one disappointment is his age and how long is he going to play in the Premier League because we are talking about a player who goes alongside yourself [Henry], Dennis Bergkamp, Cantona, all these greats that we've had in Premier League history," Carragher told 'Sky Sports'.
"He is one of the greatest we've had, David Silva. And De Bruyne is going to be another one, no doubt.," the former defender added. "Now I mentioned City's greatest ever players, all the City fans may say Colin Bell, I don't know but in David Silva, he is the greatest City one."
"I didn't think I would ever see anyone put on a City shirt who may actually be better than Silva but if De Bruyne keeps playing the way he is playing this season over a four or five year period, he could surpass him. We are seeing two all-time Premier League greats here."
Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry also shared Carragher's sentiments: "I think for me, he is if not the best creative midfielders that we have seen in this league, personally," Henry added. "I didn't see everybody since the beginning of the history of this league but definitely in the Premier League."
