It is officially no longer too soon to look at early-season form as UEFA.com scours the fixture lists to decipher which of the 32 UEFA Champions League group stage hopefuls has made the most positive start to 2017/18.*

What we found
• Only Paris and Manchester City are unbeaten in all competitions.
• In terms of goals per game, City are the top scorers (3.36) and have also conceded fewer than any other team (5 in 11 games).
• Napoli have made the strongest start in their domestic league: eight wins from eight Serie A games so far.
• Celtic have scored more 2017/18 goals any other #UCL club: 48 (albeit over 19 games).
• Spartak Moskva's total of seven draws (from 17 games) is higher than any other side.
• Anderlecht are the only #UCL team to have conceded more goals than they've scored.
