Manchester City have enjoyed a solid start to the new Premier League season.
Unbeaten in their opening six league outings, a points haul of 14 is certainly not to be sniffed at, especially when you consider the early season struggles they endured in each of the two previous campaigns. That Pep Guardiola's side still managed to win the title in both paints a rather positive picture when it comes to their hopes of securing a third consecutive crown.
The arrival of Erling Haaland this summer has led to a slight shift in how City play; last season everything was about control and patience, whereas so far this season City have tended to attack in a more direct way. Guardiola has not quite found the right balance between the two — as seen in the 3-3 draw with Newcastle last month — but when he does, City could be more dangerous than ever before.
