Aside from a 3-0 victory at Sunderland, it’s been a veritable tale of woe for Manchester City on the road this season.

The Citizens are 13th in the Premier League at the moment, a position which wouldn’t seem so bad if it wasn’t for the mass hype that accompanied their takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group in September.

After three league matches without a win, it was important for Mark Hughes’ team to land three points against Stoke City on Sunday, something that they managed with ease in the end.
