The 4-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth saw City stay top of the table after five wins out of five and ensured Guardiola retains his perfect start to life in English football.

The win was the club’s eighth of the campaign already, after victories in Champions League qualifying and their opening group match against Borussia Monchengladbach.

City have scored four or more in half of their matches, netting 25 in all, in a stunning start to Guardiola’s tenure. And in an ominous message to the likes of United – who they beat in the Manchester derby last week – Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool the ex-Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach is confident his team will not rest on their laurels.

“That is not going to happen when I am there,” he said, according to Sky Sports. “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.”
