10 major football highlights in 2017

#7 Manchester City's #SharkTeam

The Citizens have been sensational this season

Following a £300m shopping spree in the summer, many people expected City to make a good impression this season, but few could have anticipated what was to come.

Five months into the season and already talk has begun to surface hailing this City side as one of the greatest PL teams of all time, and with good reason.

Pep Guardiola's side has been in astounding form. In the 20 matches played so far, City has won 19, 18 of them in a row! They sit atop the table with 58 points, 15 clear of second-placed Manchester United.

They've scored 61 goals, the highest in all of Europe's top five leagues, whilst also remaining watertight at the back conceding only 12 goals in the PL and keeping 10 clean sheets. They finished at the top of their Champions League group, and have lost only once all season long.

The numbers are scarcely believable and If Manchester City continues to play as they have been doing, 2018 will one to remember for them indeed.
