Heading into the September international break, most Manchester City fans will be content with their club's start to the season.
Two blips away at Newcastle United and Aston Villa aside, the Blues remain unbeaten in the Premier League and have a 100 per cent record in the Champions League. Saturday's 3-0 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers rounded off another great week for Pep Guardiola's team but the gaffer will be aware of the challenges October will throw at his side.
Home matches vs Manchester United, Southampton and Brighton and Hove Albion are to come next month as well as trips to Anfield and Leicester City, plus three Champions League fixtures against FC Copenhagen and Borussia Dortmund. Only a postponement stopped this schedule becoming even more packed with the visit to Arsenal set to be rearranged.
