Manchester City 5-0 Burnley: Pep Guardiola's side hammer Clarets

Manchester City don't need any help to destroy most teams. When their opponents and the match officials both switch off, they are utterly ruthless.

There is an argument that Pep's all-stars are even better than last season. Five different players scored against Burnley and they are on course to break last year's Premier League goals record.

At the other end, a miserly defence have conceded only three goals in nine games. Guardiola was even praising the ground staff after another emphatic win. 'Thanks to the greenkeepers for the grass in perfect condition that helps us to play quicker,' he purred.
