Premier League 2017/18: 5 things we didn't expect this season

#2 Manchester City's domineering run

Manchester City look unstoppable at the moment in the Premier League

At the advent of August, when the odds for the new season were drawn, Manchester City were unquestionably among the favourites. Equipped with new tools in the form of big-money signings, Pep Guardiola finally looked capable of guiding City to their first title since 2014.

Now flip your calendar by four months and they already have one hand on the trophy. Having won 14 games from the first 15 and opening up a frightening 8-point lead at the top, Manchester City have been riding roughshod over the league this time around.

Obliterating everything and everyone on their way, the City juggernaut are comfortably sailing to their third Premier League triumph.

With 46 goals scored, City are the most prolific attack in the league. And with just 10 conceded, they also have one of the best defences. Packed to the rafters with supreme quality, City have never been this complete of a squad.

And such a formidable squad it is. Such is the aura about them right now as they set a club-record 23-game unbeaten streak.

It has truly been a whirlwind of a start for City who are yet to lose a game this season. The imperious vein of form has left all and sundry befuddled to the hilt, as within a matter of few months, City, as hard it maybe for you to believe, have truly become the best side in Europe.
