Comments:

League position: 1st With this win, Manchester City set a new club record of winning ten consecutive games in the top division. They also became only the fourth team to start a top division season in England with four wins from their first four games without conceding a goal. The most recent was Chelsea in 2005. City were now unbeaten in their last 25 home Premier League games against newly promoted teams (won 23 and drawn two). Their last such defeat was against Reading in February 2007.
