#1 Manchester City (Premier League)
After one season in the Premier League where he was given time to adapt, Pep Guardiola has done his homework and stormed into an 8-point lead after just 12 games. Manchester City are top of the league with 34 points out of a possible 36.

Such has been their dominance in England that their only draw came at the Etihad against Everton. The Citizens have won all their away fixtures in the league so far - scoring 16 goals and conceding only 3.
Away from home, they beat Brighton and Hove Albion (2-0), Bournemouth (2-1) with a 97th-minute winner, thrashed Watford (6-0), Chelsea (1-0) thanks to former Blues midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, West Bromwich Albion (3-2), and Leicester City (2-0).
Among the top five leagues in Europe, City have the best away record.
Guardiola's next big game away from home is his old nemesis - Jose Mourinho. The Manchester derby is scheduled for 10 December and the result could eventually decide where the trophy goes this season.
