Some people will already be expecting City to match the greatest Premier League club record, thanks to their rampant run of form. But, Pep Guardiola seems to be keeping firm feet on the ground, after refuting the possibility of achieving that feat.

No Barcelona. No Real Madrid. No Bayern Munich. It's the Spaniard's Manchester City who have been stealing the thunder for their stupendous displays in Europe. The Cityzens are playing the most exciting brand of attacking football at present.

Guardiola's men have lost only two points in a home draw against Everton this season, Since then, they have been breath-taking, winning eight games in a row. Having a glimpse at the statistics compels people to compare them to Wenger's Invincibles.

Albeit they are being touted to equal the feat, similar things happened to them last season when their performances dwindled unexpectedly in the second half of the season. And, Guardiola is well aware of it.

December is the most crucial month in the Premier League, owing to the number of matches being played before Christmas. One who survives the challenge has the highest chances of winning the league.

Chelsea and Liverpool have failed in halting City. But, they are yet to face Manchester United and Tottenham in December. While that is way far to think about, the Cityzens travel to Emirates next week to face Arsenal. It remains to be seen whether Wenger succeeds in neutralizing Guardiola's threat to his famous feat.
