I'd hope so but wouldn't read too much into that. They've lost twice by MW11 before and ended on 3 total losses. They've improved a lot since first few games and players come back into the side since then. They're not a vintage city side but can see them going on a strong run nowThe fact is that City have already lost 3 games this season despite it only being MW11. They will do extremely well to keep their L count to below 6.

I think only one team in PL history has had 3 or more Ls at MW10 and gone on to win the PL which was City in 13/14. The last 10 years the PL champion has had a maximum of two losses at this stage. It's a very telling statistic.
Palace are also in Europe this year... that always affects the league position. at least for a club of their size.I’m not sure Eze is good enough either for our aims but Palace are 10th, that’s par for them.
Tbf in the same fixtures last year City had 11 points less than today. If there's one team who can go on a huge run it's Man City.
Therein lies the "TRUTH". This is not the same league from 3-4 years ago. Additionally, we as Arsenal fans suffer trauma from the last stages of the Wenger years that we're very uncomfortable with success. It's why every time there is a blimp on our journey the reaction is verbose.You think that because you are projecting past City teams with the likes of KdB, Gundogan, Mahrez, peak Rodri playing key roles. Look at it objectively and ask yourself, do you see *this* City team going on those crazy runs? I would be absolutely staggered if they do. Heck, they just lost to Villa not too long ago. I think too many Arsenal fans have PTSD from City snatching the title away from us in 22/23 and 23/24 - this is *not* the same team. We are better than them in almost every area except CF and we have a deeper squad.
