The Sky Blues opened this season’s campaign with five successive league wins till mid-September, scoring 11 goals in those games and conceding none.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini was buoyed by the clean sheet but, with striker Sergio Aguero needing “two or three more games” to return to top fitness after injury, expressed frustration that his side lacked a cutting edge.
