Why Manchester City look unstoppable at top of Premier League - Alan Shearer

Manchester City have won 15 consecutive games in all competitions, won a club record-equalling nine league games in a row and are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

The Blues extended their lead by beating Arsenal 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, before Manchester United lost at Chelsea. They look unstoppable at the moment.

The worrying thing for the other title-chasing teams is how much City have improved since they finished third last term, 15 points behind champions Chelsea, in Pep Guardiola's debut season.

City have improved going forward - they are blowing teams away, with 38 goals in their opening 11 league games - and have improved defensively.

There was a big moment just before half-time in the win against the Gunners - City keeper Ederson made a stunning save from Aaron Ramsey. That would have been a goal last year, when Claudio Bravo was their number one.

If it goes in, and it is 1-1 rather than 1-0, then it might have turned the game. Pep has learned from the mistakes they made last season.

City are much better than the rest of the league and that is the concern for the other teams.
