What’s Hot and What’s Not from Manchester City’s season so far

NOT – Went off the boil over the autumn

However, their ten-game winning run to start the season was quickly halted, as they drew 3-3 away at Celtic in the Champions League.

And that sparked a run of no win in six games in all competitions, in which time they lost 4-0 at Barcelona and were knocked out of the League Cup by neighbours United.

They then registered four victories in six as it looked like they were getting back to their early season form, and that included their 3-1 success over Barca at the Etihad, but they then suffered back-to-back league defeats against Chelsea and Leicester.

Since then it has been much better from City, but they couldn’t find a good level of consistency over the autumn, and that is ultimately why they are eight points behind leaders Chelsea at the top.
