Premier League Gameweek 16 - Five talking points

Can anybody beat City at home this season?

After a high-flying, table-topping Arsenal side were swatted aside with minimum fuss by City on Saturday, the question on everybody’s lips is this, is anybody going to beat City at the Etihad? Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal have all come this season and gone back home with no less than a hammering. City have scored 35 goals in just eight home games and at this rate will come very close to breaking the all-time English League record of most goals scored at home, which is currently held by Millwall with 87 goals in the Third Division South in 1927/28.

With Manchester City in such stunning form, the rest of the League must wonder if any team is going to go to the Etihad and with the hope of getting anything from the game whatsoever. The only thing Pellegrini will be worried about is the form of his goalkeepers, both of whom have looked far from convincing so far this season. But, as long as the strikers keep banging it in, that isn’t going to be much of a problem either.
