The Citizens are currently top of the league and will be hoping to maintain that when they face Tottenham on Saturday. City spent close to £100million in the summer transfer window and two of their star acquisitions, Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne have already hit the ground running.
Both players were on the score sheet in the carling cup clash against Sunderland and talismanic midfielder Yaya Toure has hailed the impact both the players have had so far.
"Kevin De Bruyne has been brilliant. He made an assist and scored one goal at Sunderland. Raheem is scoring, and [Sergio] Aguero is our top striker and our top goalscorer," the Ivorian said.
"Could we be one of the most exciting teams in Europe now? Yeah, to be honest, I think yes. It is full credit to chairman who made this happen."
The former Barcelona man has also claimed that the plethora of attacking talent has now allowed him to concentrate more on his defensive responsibilities.
"As a player, it makes my duty a little bit less! For the moment I just focus on defending because offensively we have a lot of power to show like Sergio, Sami [Nasri], [Jesus] Navas, Kevin. They don't need me on the attack side now!"
Man City will be hoping to bounce back after being at the receiving end of a shocking 2-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham. This was their second defeat in a row, after Juventus recorded a win over the Premier League leaders by a similar score line.
Tottenham on the other hand have made a disappointing start to the new campaign having managed victories in just two of their last six matches. They were against arch rivals Arsenal last time out in the Capital One Cup, in a match Spurs lost 2-1.
They will be concerned about Harry Kane's goal drought who regardless of posing a potent attacking threat against Arsenal, is yet to open his account this season.
Man City have a number of injury concerns ahead of the game, with all of Kompany, David Silva (both calf), Eliaquim Mangala (muscular injury) and Samir Nasri (knock) doubtful for the big match against Spurs. They will however have a fully fit Sergio Aguero at their expense, who has scored 10 goals in seven Premier League outings against Tottenham.
Spurs on the other hand have no fresh injury concerns, but will continue to be without Nabil Bentaleb whereas Ryan Mason is a doubt for the match.
