Manchester City form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the quarter-finals.

Manchester City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Manchester City collect 39 points from their 16 away matches in the Premier League. 12 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 9W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. City are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eleven in a row without losing.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Aston Villa at their stadium, the result 2-1.

The schedule is very tough for City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Crystal Palace is waiting in only three days.

The City manager J. Guardiola i Sala has got the team scoring on the road, with 32 away goals in 16 league matches. Manchester City are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 16 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
