Manchester City is scoring more than 3 goals per game in the Premier League and on the other hand have conceded just 5 goals so far. They are currently unbeaten at the top of the league, winning 11 of the 13 games played. Even in the Champions League, their defensive record is quite good, as they have conceded just 3 goals in the 4 league games. Altogether, Manchester City has conceded just 8 goals in 20 games in all competitions.

Pep Guardiola's tactics have transformed City to one of the best sides in Europe and they are as effective going forward as they are at the back. The ability of Guardiola's side to play their way out of trouble, along with the collection of players with some fantastic abilities on the ball means that City has the strongest defence in Europe so far.

At the heart of the City defence is John Stones and Aymeric Laporte, two of the best defenders in the league right now and along with Ederson in goal, they have made City virtually unstoppable this season.
