Pep Guardiola has once again created an irresistible machine; his City side has bagged 62 points from just 23 games, scoring a staggering 67 goals and conceding just 17.

Their 19 game winning streak makes Chelsea's last year's 13 game-streak pales in comparison and it is widely believed that this side could shatter all previous league records.

This team could be compared to his Barcelona and Bayern teams and have dropped just 7 points this season.

It wouldn't be surprising if the other teams have already given up on the title.

They are also in the semi-finals of the Carabao cup, in the 4th Round of the FA Cup, and are also favorites in the Champions League.

The reason behind this success has been the all-round performance of the team; Ederson Moraes has been fantastic in goal and the long-term injury to Benjamin Mendy seemed to jeopardize Guardiola's plans, but Fabian Delph has stepped up and been a revelation at the back.

Arguably the best midfielder in the league, Kevin De Bruyne, is pulling all the strings in the midfield, bagging 6 goals and 10 assists in the process, Leroy Sane has been scintillating as well, creating numerous chances for his team while Raheem Sterling is in the form of his life and has formed a deadly partnership with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus.

Their heavy investment in the summer transfer window is surely paying off with the squad having remarkable depth.

Barring a miraculous turn for the worse, expect the Citizens to bag at least a couple of trophies.

Expected Points Tally: 95-100 points
