Premier League 2017/18: Five talking points from gameweek 6

#5 Let's talk about Manchester City

Sergio Aguero followed up his hat-trick last week with yet another goal against Crystal Palace

Take this for a stat - Manchester City have scored 19 goals in six PL games so far, with 16 of them coming in their last three games.

There has been a lot of talk about Manchester United's strong title bid this season. Now, however, it's time to shift the limelight to their local rivals.

They were at the top of the table at the beginning of the weekend due to a minor alphabetical advantage, but now lead United on goal difference.

Pep Guardiola and Co. have not stopped since they crucified Liverpool in the city of Manchester earlier this month, and do not look like doing so anytime soon. A fire has surged through their attack, while ice cool defence has stonewalled incoming attacks.

They look ready, greedy and extremely self-assured. If those aren't signs of a champion team, what is?

Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace, on the other hand, look more and more hapless with every passing match. They have now suffered six losses in the league and are yet to find their first goal, let alone their first win.

City would not waste their thought on that though. Their aim is to kill with every attack and kill in every minute. They had a similar start last season, but as Guardiola says, they "have more goals, conceded less and the feel a little bit better."
