#3 Manchester City- in a league of their own

Manchester City sits top of the English Premier League with only two points ahead of second-placed Liverpool. But their victory only suggests that they are unstoppable at the moment. Manchester City ran circles around the United players with their one-touch passes and fluid movements as they left their rivals helpless once again.

Arguably, Pep Guardiola and co. have dismantled any complaints about their defence which was predominant since last season. The young centre-back duo of Laporte and Stones have delivered and they have conceded only five times in the league this season. They have brushed off challenges from Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool already and dismantled the teams below the top half.

It seems only perfect display throughout the whole season will be enough to win the English Premier League this time around. Maybe not even then. City's champagne football is a testament to the fact that they are untouchable at the moment. And not even the hardcore rival fans will be bold enough to make a case against Manchester City winning the title once again.
