#1 Manchester City (18 games)
If there's one team that has truly taken the world by storm this season, that distinction goes to Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, hands down. The Skyblues are in a league of their own, conjuring a vein of form that hasn't been witnessed in a while. And with a 11 point lead at the top of the table after 18 games, the Premier League crown looks to be in their bag already.

The Spaniard's swashbuckling group re-wrote history with their 15th consecutive victory in the league in the middle of last week, with a win against Swansea City, before going one better over the weekend, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 4-1.
Such has been their form that none of the major sides in the division could take even a single damn point off them, whereas Everton remain the only side to stop them in the ill-tempered 1-1 draw on matchday two.
But that already seems ages ago, as City's whirlwind form has banished any such bitter memories to the dustbin of history and set them on course for a historic season. Or perhaps, the greatest in the Premier League era if their current run is anything to go by.
Manchester City appear to have papered over the cracks that showed in the 2-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in the final UEFA Champions League group game, and have got the ball rolling again.
