Such was his absolute dominance in Wednesday's 3-0 home win over West Brom, Kevin De Bruyne genuinely could have had five goals and five assists by the time he was substituted after 77 minutes at the Etihad, ultimately having to settle for one of each.
Remarkably he's not missed a match in the Premier League this season and with a busy blend of Champions League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and the continued title shove coming up in the next few weeks, the Player of the Year-elect is bound to be afforded a rest before long.
But a weekend visit to Turf Moor probably isn't the time to be doing it, especially with David Silva joining Leroy Sane on the injury list and Riyad Mahrez remaining a Leicester player.
Silva's rash challenge, in which he injured himself, wasn't the only tasty one to go in during the game against the Baggies and Burnley boss Sean Dyche is unlikely to pay much heed to Pep Guardiola's calls for greater protection for his elite players.
Dyche is a bit of a master at stifling superior sides and while I fully expect a purring De Bruyne to help the visitors chalk up an eighth straight victory on this ground, it's unlikely to be made easy for them despite the Lancashire club's current malaise.
They've not won since back-to-back 1-0 triumphs over Watford and Stoke in December so don't look up to this task on current form and make only limited appeal at 3/1 not to be beaten on the back of a slightly fortunate draw at St James' Park, where Newcastle should probably have had it sewn up before Sam Vokes' late equaliser.
Sergio Aguero has opened the scoring in 3-0 (Premier League) and 4-1 (FA Cup) wins over Burnley already this season and he's 5/2 to complete the treble, while City are still odds-on with a -1 handicap.
There are better bets to be had elsewhere on the coupon, but a narrow winning margin for the visitors does hold some appeal at prices around 11/4, as it wouldn't come as a surprise if this were just as physical as the West Brom game, but primarily because six of City's eight victories this year achieved by a single goal have come on the road.
The question here has to be whether the market has over-reacted following a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge in midweek, and it's hard to argue against Bournemouth looking slightly shorter than you might normally expect at even money to beat Stoke on Saturday.
Stoke sit just four points off the drop and, much like a worrying number of their rivals in 'the most exciting league in the world', are clearly struggling in front of goal.
Paul Lambert hasn't disgraced himself in the Stoke hotseat and a point looked a reasonably fair return after a largely drab affair against Watford in midweek.
However, some of their defending was a little last-gasp for comfort and, having opened up Chelsea on a couple of occasions on Wednesday, Bournemouth look certain to carve out plenty of opportunities, something they've been doing at home for a long time.
The Cherries have scored two or more in home league games against Brighton, Huddersfield, West Ham, Everton and Arsenal so far this campaign and Stoke looks the next ideal scalp with confidence high on the back of that win over Chelsea.
Callum Wilson seems in great nick with three in his last four but in truth Eddie Howe's side have goals throughout with Junior Stanislas an obvious go-to man in the anytime market. He scored three times in the 2015/16 Premier League season, seven last year and - after getting the second in midweek - now has two from just 10 starts this time around.
He's probably short enough at 11/4 to score again, though, even without the benefit of seeing the team-sheet, and instead it's the hosts to score two or more that looks a much safer option.
Swansea are enjoying the ride under Carlos Carvalhal, who has avoided defeat in all bar one of the eight games he's overseen so far.
That's a pretty remarkable run for a side clearly short on raw quality and they now look to at least stand a chance of clawing themselves out of the bottom three.
Nobody's going as far as to say they're on the path to Premier League salvation, but it's not too much of a stretch to suggest they're slightly over-priced at 4/1 and bigger to win at Leicester, given the circumstances.
Claude Puel has done exceptionally well since taking over from Craig Shakespeare but a lot now depends on how his star man Riyad Mahrez reacts to the blocking of a potential deadline day exit from the King Power Stadium.
He reportedly didn't show up for training earlier in the week and will be a massive miss if not involved at all having scored eight times and been directly involved in another 10 Leicester goals.
Marc Albrighton doesn't quite grab the headlines in the same way but it's only a matter of time before he or Demarai Gray put the ball on a plate for Kelechi Iheanacho to open his Premier League account for the club.
His scoring prowess for Man City was right up there in terms of goals-per-minutes and the Nigeria striker has already found the net seven times in various competitions this season.
He's a decent bet to score first in a market dominated by penalty-taker Jamie Vardy, but if pushed for a bet in the match market I'd be steering towards the draw.
Swansea have drawn their last three games on the road, one of which came at Wolves in the FA Cup, and are seemingly all pulling in the same direction.
Jordan Ayew works tirelessly to defend from the front and if they can nick a goal against a far-from-impenetrable Leicester side then it's not hard to see them battling their way to a point.
Bottom side West Brom welcome free-falling Southampton (18th) at the Hawthorns in a real six-pointer.
Cutting to the chase, it is difficult to see the Saints bettering a draw here, a result which could realistically be the final straw for Mauricio Pellegrino’s reign as manager at St Mary's.
The 46-year-old is favourite to be the next outgoing Premier League boss, with Chelsea’s Antonio Conte second in the betting. Southampton have won just one of their last 16 league matches and fans are rapidly losing hope of retaining their top-flight status.
One cause for optimism on the field is forward Guido Carrillo, a £19m January signing from Monaco, who made a lively second-half cameo in the midweek draw with Brighton. The Argentinian can be backed at 5/2 to score anytime, although one of Albion's forward line could be a safer bet to find the back of the net.
Daniel Sturridge came on as a second-half substitute in West Brom's defeat at Man City last time out and the Liverpool loanee could be given his full debut in this one.
Sturridge to score & West Brom to win is 7/2 and he will be keen to open his account for the club soon after coming close at the Etihad in midweek.
Southampton are currently on a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions, but they don't tend to score a lot of goals and I wouldn't expect this one to be much of a goal fest.
While one manager is under pressure, the other is still finding his feet. It's fair to say that Alan Pardew did not have an immediate impact upon arriving as a replacement for Tony Pulis in November.
He has overseen five draws, five losses and three wins – two of which came in the FA Cup. He saw the need for firepower, taking the pressure off Salomon Rondon with the addition of Sturridge, while adding another centre-back in the form of Egypt international Ali Gabr.
The loss at Man City is excusable, but they played well in the 3-2 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup last weekend and on that basis could prove too much for a Southampton side lacking in confidence and ideas.
