Manchester City have made a strong start to their Premier League campaign.
The team has won four straight championships and has a record of 4 wins, 0 losses and 0 draws, outscoring opponents 11-3 during that time.
Erling Haaland has been the man of the match, scoring an unprecedented nine goals in City's first four games of the season.
Talk of the Cityzens getting off to a slow start has given way to questions about whether this is the best version of Manchester City we've seen so far.
City begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday afternoon with a showdown against Inter Milan, the team the Sky Blues beat in the 2023 Champions League final.
Manchester City vs Inter Milan odds
| team | Money Line | draw | total |

Manchester City vs Inter Milan Predictions
There is no evidence in the numbers that City don't deserve to be at the top of the Premier League, but it's fair to say that what they're doing now is unsustainable.
That doesn't mean they'll be furious in reality, but winning almost every game with a Haaland hat-trick seems like too much to ask of any team.
It's also worth noting that City have started the season with a relatively easy schedule.
They had to face Chelsea in their opening game, but the Blues were in the midst of a busy transfer window and playing under a new manager.
The wins over West Ham, Ipswich and Brentford were simply wins.
City are likely to find it much harder against an Inter team that is extremely adept at maintaining form and playing a structured, responsible style of football that is difficult to overpower.
Further complicating the situation is the fact that City have a monumental Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday.
Arsenal finished runners-up to City for the second consecutive season and look poised to mount a serious challenge again in 2024-25.
Pep Guardiola and his team will need to keep this match in mind when they face Inter on Wednesday.

Considering the tough schedule for championship contenders, betting on teams that score fewer than 2.5 total goals is favorable.
