5 Premier League teams that have exceeded expectations this season

#1 Manchester City

Yes, Manchester City.

The fact that the Premier League’s highest spenders are first on the log comes as no surprise to anyone but the manner in which they have achieved this is a totally different story.

22 games played, 20 wins, 2 draws, unbeaten in the league so far, are just some of the achievements of Pep Guardiola’s team this season.

Raheem Sterling has scored 14 goals in the league this season

The players have not only adapted almost perfectly to their manager’s brand of attacking football but some of the previously undervalued members of the squad – like Nicolas Otamendi and Raheem Sterling - are performing at levels that could not have been related to them in the past.

The Citizens have been setting new records at quite an unusual rate with a record of 18 consecutive victories only just halted surprisingly by Crystal Palace.

Manchester City are currently 15 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United and are in a world of their own at the moment having recorded victories in all matches against fellow top 6 sides so far this season.

They are the most talked about team in Europe at the moment and are still in the hunt for trophies all 4 competitions they entered for at the start of the season.

The fans of the club are in seventh heaven at the moment as no one expected such an utterly dominant City side at the start of the season.
