Manchester City go into their upcoming match unbeaten in their previous three matches, which started off with a 1-1 draw against Arsenal. They went on to beat Burnley 0-3, before sharing the spoils with Sevilla in a 1-1 draw. Manchester City have been nothing short of fabulous at their home ground in the six most recent Premier League matches here. They quite simply claimed a maximum 18 points, scoring 17 while conceding four goals. Naturally, this is the best points total in the Premier League across the last six games.
