Manchester City are favourites to take this season's Premier
League title despite currently lying three points behind
leaders Arsenal.
Flores' men were 1-0 up against City heading into the final
stages on Saturday, before late goals from Yaya Toure and
Sergio Aguero saw Manuel Pellegrini's side take all three
points.
The victory sees City stay third, a point behind Leicester and
three behind Arsenal but Flores says he feels they have the
quality to claim glory this season.
Asked if City's win meant they are now title favourites,
Flores said: "Yes. I thought so in the first [half of the
season]. I keep thinking the same.
"[David] Silva and [Sergio] Aguero [are the best players I've
managed]. I managed a lot of good players, but Silva and
Aguero were slightly different. They were a little bit
different."
Flores managed Aguero when he was at Atletico Madrid and
said the Argentina international has developed into one of
the best players in the world.
"During the season Aguero was at a high level, then he was
injured for a short period. It was enough to have some
doubts, maybe.
"But in the future, Aguero [has been] a completely different
player. He is one of the best players in the world."
Watford are ninth in the Premier League, just four points
outside a European place.
