Chelsea 1-3 City
Pep Guardiola’s men began 2021 with a bang by putting Chelsea to the sword in a devastating away performance.
City ruthlessly dispatched the hosts with Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne all on target inside a remarkable 16-minute spell before the break.
Chelsea would grab a stoppage time consolation through Callum Hudson-Odoi but the damage had already been done in a truly dominant display.

Liverpool 1-4 City
Records are there to be broken, and City demonstrated that in emphatic fashion when we travelled to merseyside in February.
Winless at Anfield since 2003, things looked bleak when, despite his phenomenal scoring form, Ilkay Gundogan blazed a penalty over the bar before the break.
But the German wouldn’t be kept quiet for long, grabbing a second half brace to complement Raheem Sterling’s close-range header and Foden’s thunderbolt and cap off a deserved 4-1 victory.
It was an evening that will be talked about among City fans for years to come, and signified a 14th successive victory in all competitions in the process.

City 3-0 Tottenham
A Gundogan masterclass, including a truly memorable solo effort, helped Pep Guardiola’s men on our way to a comfortable 3-0 victory against Spurs.
We got our noses in front from the spot through Rodrigo, before the German poked home our second five minutes after the restart.
But City saved the best goal until last when Ederson’s phenomenal pass from his own box picked out Gundogan racing in behind the Spurs defence.
And the midfielder effortlessly shook off the attentions of Davinson Sanchez before calmly slotting home past Hugo Lloris.

City 5-2 Southampton
It was goals galore under the Etihad lights when Southampton locked horns with Pep Guardiola’s men back in March.
First half strikes from De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez and Gundogan cancelled out a James Ward-Prowse penalty to see City in 3-1 at the break.
An already entertaining clash then switched into fifth gear with a three goal flurry in just nine second half minutes before the hour mark.
Mahrez jinked through the Southampton defence to smash home our fourth on 50 minutes, before Che Adams pounced on a favourable deflection to reduce the deficit to two goals.
But De Bruyne was on hand to stifle any potential murmurings of an unlikely comeback when he picked up Foden’s inventive cutback and rifled home to complete the scoring.

Aston Villa 1-2 City
A thrilling clash at Villa Park saw City take a huge step towards a third Premier League crown in four seasons.
John McGinn gave the hosts the lead inside 20 seconds in a pulsating clash in the West Midlands but we responded defiantly with goals from Foden and Rodrigo turning the game on its head.
However, it was far from plain sailing for Pep Guardiola’s men after John Stones was dismissed on the stroke of half-time for a high challenge on Jacob Ramsey.
Aston Villa were down to ten themselves before the hour when Matty Cash was shown a second yellow card, but City held on to move within eight points of the title.
