It will take something truly special to prevent Manchester City winning the 2017-18 Premier League title, with none of their rivals getting close to Pep Guardiola's side so far this season.

City extended their Premier League-record winning run to 16 games as they thrashed Tottenham 4-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.

Two goals from the prolific Raheem Sterling added to earlier efforts from Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne as the hosts swept aside the Londoners on a misty night, with Gabriel Jesus also missing a penalty for good measure.

The result means City have now beaten each of the Premier League's top six finishers from last season in their record-breaking run, with an aggregate score on 15-3 against Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham,

Here's a look back at those games...
