Manchester City get top billing on Match of the Day tonight as Pep Guardiola's side eased to a 16th consecutive Premier League win with a 4-1 rout of Tottenham.
Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs would have hoped to have provide a stern test of City's magnificent form but they were powerless to resist the attacking verve of Guardiola's men.
The opening goal was a horror show for Spurs, with Ilkay Gundogan left unmarked to head in Leroy Sane's corner.
Kevin De Bruyne drilled in a powerful second in the 70th minute and City could afford for Gabriel Jesus to miss a penalty before Raheem Sterling netted a brace, with a very late strike from Christian Eriksen no consolation for Spurs.

Marko Arnautovic scored for West Ham to deepen former club Stoke's woes.
The pressure on Potters boss Mark Hughes will only intensify after a 3-0 home loss made it four defeats from five games and left them one point above the relegation zone.

Mark Noble netted a 19th-minute penalty and Arnautovic, who had been booed throughout by the Stoke fans following his summer departure, celebrated gleefully after making it two in the 75th minute.
The Potters probably thought it could not get any worse but their porous defence was pierced again by Diafra Sakho.
