Comments:

League position: 1st . This was Manchester City's first game after being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial regulations, subject to appeal. . City had now equaled their club record of winning their opening six games of a season in the top division: previously in 2016-17 (six) and 2023-24 in the Premier League (six). . Enzo Maresca had now become the first manager to win his first six games in the Premier League with a team since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United in January 2019 (six).
