Man City are top of the Premier League on 19 points, and the run behind that total is now 6W. The latest came at Liverpool on Sunday 11 October, a 3-0 away win in matchday 6.
Six wins from seven. One draw, no defeats. 16 goals scored, 5 conceded, a goal difference of +11 — the best defensive record of any side in the top six. The gap to Arsenal in second is 15 points against 19.
What separates this from a good start is where the wins have come from. 8 of them on the road, against 5 draws and 1 defeat; 9 at home with 3 draws and 1 loss. Away form usually wobbles first. Not here.
Erling Haaland has 6 of the 16, and Rayan Cherki has added 4. Two players carrying more than half the scoring load is either efficiency or dependence. Ask again in a month.
The table around them is tighter than the points suggest. Brighton Hove sit third on 13 with a goal difference of +13 — better than Man City's +11 — and Chelsea are level on 13 in fourth. Brentford and Hull City round out the top six on 11 and 10. A single bad fortnight rearranges all of it.
The next fixture is at home against Ipswich Town on Saturday 17 October, matchday 7. On the current rate, that is the game where the run either reaches 6 or stops being the story.
