Patrick Vieira says Manchester City's current squad boasts great know-how.
Vieira believes City are the most powerful they have been in a long time, and hails the wealth of experience in their ranks.
"We have the experience," he said. "When you look at myself, Gareth Barry, Nigel de Jong, David Silva, and Yaya Toure, there are so many quality players in midfield.
"The new signings are internationals and we have quality in every single part of the team. If we keep our feet on the ground and everyone gives 100 per cent commitment to the club, it will be a really good season.
"It could be an exciting season. This is the strongest side City have had in the last few years and if we all play at the right level it will be a good season for us."
