#3 Manchester City still remain the team to beat
Manchester City are defending Premier League champions, and their journey to league glory last season is well documented.
The Cityzens obliterated all and sundry before them last season, breaking and setting numerous records along the way, including for points tally, goals scored, goal difference, most victories and longest winning streak.
City under Guardiola laid a marker for the rest of the Premier League last season, and on evidence of events unfolding thus far, they still remain the benchmark for the remaining 19 Premier League clubs.
They are unbeaten in the league and have scored a whopping 33 goals in just 11 matches while conceding just four.
Against Southampton, they were utterly dominant, stamping their authority from early on, and were two goals up inside just 12 minutes in what was an eventual 6-1 victory to take them outright top of the Premier League.
It was the fifth time they had pulled off a victory by more than three goals this season, while their tally of just four goals conceded is the second best in history at this stage after Jose Mourinho's legendary side who had conceded just two after eleven matches in 2004/2005, and with all indications, they seem set to win the league in much the same fashion as they did last season.
