City enter Week 7 with a perfect record and a four-point lead in the standings, but the trip to Tottenham may prove their toughest challenge yet.
Spurs have started the season in solid form and have improved over the last few weeks, culminating in a win at CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. In-form Heung-Min Son found the net again, but he gave full credit to his team-mates, per Spurs' official Twitter account:
His emergence as a viable scoring threat has been crucial in the absence of Harry Kane, the club's top attacking option. The England international has been out since the win over Sunderland on September 18, and it's still unclear how much time he'll miss exactly.
Per Bleacher Report UK, the stats suggest his absence on Sunday is great news for City:
Last year, the clash between these two teams at White Hart Lane proved a successful one for the hosts, as shared by Spurs' official Twitter account:
The Citizens have been nearly unstoppable under manager Pep Guardiola, though, scoring a league-high 18 goals so far and conceding just five. They will also be without a key attacking weapon, as Kevin De Bruyne picked up an injury against Swansea City.
Scoring didn't prove to be an issue in the 3-3 draw against Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday, but City's defence remains a work in progress. Spurs should be able to exploit those issues, but keeping out City's attackers will prove difficult.
Arsenal have won their last four and will hope to continue that run against a Burnley side that has only managed to pick up a single win in their last four Premier League outings.
The Clarets played their best match of the season in their win over Watford on Monday, however, with the stats suggesting the attack is finally starting to click, per Squawka Football:
The Gunners have so far been at their best when they overrun the midfield areas—expect manager Arsene Wenger to instruct his side to do just that on Sunday at Turf Moor.
Chelsea are desperate for a win at Hull after back-to-back losses to Liverpool and Arsenal. The Blues had a great start to the season, but defensive issues have held the team back in recent weeks, with Gary Cahill and David Luiz struggling to anchor the side.
Manager Antonio Conte is still trying to find the right balance in midfield, and with Hull losing three of their last four, Saturday's match presents Chelsea with the perfect opportunity to both tinker with the squad and pick up some much-needed momentum.
