Even Manchester City are not really doing well, their performance had dropped since last season.
Last season was one to forget for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, but they are doing much better this season. They are not yet at their best, but we have to remember that even in their good seasons, they are usually impeccable during the run-in. So we cannot actually judge them now. If they stay close enough to the top of the table, then in March or so, they could kick into their best form and go on one of their famous winning runs, which more often than not culminates in City winning the title.
Pep Guardiola is known to be a serial winner but last season, he had his worst campaign as a first team manager. There are reports that he was ready to part ways with Manchester City but couldn't leave in a season they failed to win the a major trophy and that's probably the main reason he's been doing all his best to redeem himself this campaign. Just like you rightly said, Manchester City aren't even at their best at the moment but they've been getting good results. I think the other top teams in Europe especially England should be worried about on how to stop them from reaching their peak. If City succeeds to win a major trophy this season, Pep Guardiola might be leaving the club.
