Manchester City are building up some serious momentum as the Premier League prepares to head into the hectic Christmas period.

Pep Guardiola’s side have won five games in a row in the league and seven in a row in all competitions. It was around this time last year that they produced a remarkable run of results which saw them pull away from the rest of the pack and they will hope to do the same this time around.

Prediction

The Man City train is beginning to gain momentum as they look to secure their seventh successive victory in a row. Watford were impressive in their win over Manchester United but were then undone by Leicester. They put in an excellent display against Chelsea despite losing 2-1, but very few teams on the planet can live with how City are playing at the moment. 3-1 Man City.
