Big Six becoming a nightmare for Manchester City
Manchester City are not performing against the Big Six this season as well as we are used to in recent years, having won just one of their five Premier League games against them so far.

Manchester City are suffering something of a post treble slump this season, struggling to claim victories in a number of games so far, especially against the top teams.
In particular, the Sky Blues are not having a good time when facing a team that is part of the Big Six, which is how Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and the Cityzens themselves are known.
Pep Guardiola's side have already faced all of them in the domestic championship this season at least once, winning just one of their five games.
The Sky Blues only managed to claim all three points when they thrashed Manchester United at Old Trafford thanks to a Haaland brace and a Phil Foden goal. Until then, the Etihad Stadium outfit had suffered just one slip-up and that was against a Big Six side: Arsenal.
The Gunners claimed a narrow win at the Emirates Stadium against the Cityzens thanks to a late Gabriel Martinelli goal. However, the worst was yet to come for Pep Guardiola's side.
Manchester City have won just three of their last eight Premier League games, drawing the last three against Chelsea, Liverpool and most recently Tottenham.
The Mancunians were held to a wild draw by the Blues at Stamford Bridge, in which their former player Cole Palmer scored a last-minute equaliser from the penalty spot.
Liverpool also managed to snatch a point from Pep Guardiola's side, after a late goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold cancelled out Haaland's opener.
Finally, it has been Tottenham who put the icing on the cake by sharing the points with Manchester City in an incredible six-goal thriller, which was decided by an incredible header from Dejan Kulusevski in stoppage time.
It is also worth remembering that the Sky Blues already faced Arsenal at the start of the season in the Community Shield final, losing the title on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
