Pep Guardiola football has arrived at Manchester City... but it's still been their worst league start since 2014

Manchester City produced one of the most complete attacking displays likely to be seen all season as Pep Guardiola's side dismantled Watford at Vicarage Road. The result, a 6-0 drubbing, sent an ominous message to their Premier League title rivals.

It was a performance full of verve with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus developing a devastating partnership, David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne providing the creative spark and Ederson providing a reassuring presence in goal.

City have returned from the international break on a mission, and plundering 15 goals in three games without reply suggests things are clicking into place - but despite sitting top with an identical record as neighbours United, it is in fact their worst start to a season in three years.
