Manchester City are heading towards the halfway point of this Premier League season unbeaten and, despite Liverpool's fine start, seemingly destined for another title.

Pep Guardiola's side have already won 13 of their 15 league games, amassing a goal difference of +38 and a two-point lead at the top, with data suggesting they are performing even better than last season.

Now the question is: can they match Arsenal's invincibles in having an unbeaten league campaign? We asked our football reporters - and here is what they said:

No - 'It may just be a step too far'

City are supremely talented, a talent underpinned by the fiercest work ethic, and packaged together by a remarkable coach who has got them working in almost perfect synchronisation. The way they can withstand injuries that would derail other teams - such as successive knee problems to last season's talisman, Kevin De Bruyne - merely underlines that. But the campaign still has a long, long way to run and, while City are desperate to become the first Premier League side for a decade to retain the title, they really want to finally go the distance in the Champions League, and the complexities involved in that and juggling such an energy sapping domestic competition may mean that, at some point, something gives.
