Manchester City have enjoyed a storming start to the season, with eight wins in all competitions, as well as 25 goals scored, under Pep Guardiola.
City have swept all before them so far, and in the past eight days they beat city rivals United, and cruised to victories in the Champions League in midweek, then Bournemouth were put to the sword yesterday.
Despite the impressive start, Guardiola has insisted that he will not allow complacency to be an issue.
The Spanish manager said: “That is not going to happen when I am there.
“And don’t say it is too easy. I heard from years ago the Premier League is the toughest league and I am going to accept that.
“We have a lot of work to do and we are just in September. We have played absolutely nothing.
“Always for the next game, we have to try to do it better than the game before.
“I am so happy but I have to tell you I am going to lose games.
“We won these five games in the Premier League and the people have very nice words but we know what happens in our world.
“I have seen what happens when the trainer didn’t win, they have been so critical and they didn’t deserve that. It is better to stay back and don’t read too much.
“I know we are going to lose games and it is important when that happens to be stable.”
Next up to try and derail the Manchester City locomotive are Swansea City, in both league and the EFL Cup Third Round.
