Key points

  • Guehi rated 9/10 as City's standout defender after seven unbeaten games under Maresca
  • Cherki earns 8/10 for impressive early form with goals in opening matches
  • Foden's red card in derby costs him 5/10 rating and month-long absence from action

Summary

Manchester City have made a perfect start to the season under Enzo Maresca, winning all seven games across the Premier League, Champions League and Carabao Cup. The Manchester Evening News has rated each player's contribution so far, with Marc Guehi emerging as the standout performer at 9/10 despite playing the opening game in midfield, while winger Cherki has impressed with 8/10 after contributing goals in early matches.

Defensive wobbles remain a concern despite four clean sheets in September, with the 5-3 thriller against Sunderland exposing vulnerabilities. Phil Foden's red card in the derby has proven costly, earning him a 5/10 rating and a month without matches after missing England recall.
