Chances are you'll already have spent a good chunk of your weekend either reading or listening to various pundits waxing lyrical about Manchester City's lethal frontline.
Hard to argue with said praise really, isn't it after a 5-0 return to winning ways.
Pep Guardiola's side were back to their clinical best as they brushed aside Norwich on Saturday afternoon, with the absence of Kevin De Bruyne proving little more than a footnote in what proved to be a superb display.
City's backline also looked incredibly assured, with Kyle Walker and Aymeric Laporte even taking the opportunity to showcase their respective ability in the final third, and unsurprisingly Ruben Dias proved instrumental in his side's return to defensive solidarity.
Guardiola's side's opening day defeat to Tottenham raised a number of questions over City's defence.
Spurs' swift counter-attack ultimately proved too hot to handle for the visitors as they fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat - the first time they've kicked off their league campaign with a loss since their 4-2 defeat at Aston Villa in 2008.
Despite seeing very little of the ball, naturally, Norwich looked to mirror Spurs' approach by hitting City on the break, but in Dias, they found themselves up against a brick wall with no intention of crumbling.
No City player completed more tackles and interceptions over the 90 minutes than his combined total of five, with the Portuguese centre-back's ability to read the game and sense danger proving key to snuffing out any possible Canaries break.
Dias has become the keystone in City's backline since his move from Benfica a little under 12 months ago, and the impact he has on those around him truly cannot be underestimated.
Centre-back partner Laporte looked a Rolls Royce of a defender alongside the Portugal international on Saturday afternoon, while Walker spent much of the game stepping into central midfield helping to dictate the game knowing Dias would be there to sweep up any danger that could manifest down the City right.
Obviously, we're not going to sit here and pretend Dias was bombarded with defensive work all afternoon - though he dealt with anything Norwich did throw at him very comfortably - but his ability on the ball was just as important to City's display.
No player carried the ball more than Dias' total of 613 yards at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with his progressive play and ability to step into midfield proving key to opening up the game and breaking down the Canaries' rigid lines.
Perhaps the former Benfica man's highlight moment of the game came with just six minutes of normal time remaining.
Already four goals to the good, by this point in the game, City were beginning to toy with their opponents as Norwich looked to sit back and embark on a damaged limitations exercise.
Dias collected the ball inside the Norwich half and picked his head up to view a sea of yellow shirts sitting back desperate to avoid any further punishment.
Not to worry, the defender instantly spotted the run of Riyad Mahrez from the City right and produced one of the passes of the game to pick out the winger who coolly controlled the ball before applying the finish.
It was the sort of pass that wouldn't have looked out of place in a De Bruyne highlight reel and further underlined the cultured centre-back's remarkable ability.
A lot of Premier League players weren't afforded the luxury of a summer break following the conclusion of the 2020/21 season, with international commitments seeing them handed little more than a two-week holiday.
As such, some have speculated it could be a couple of months before said players are back up to the speed of the English top-flight, but Dias' display against Norwich suggests City fans should have no such worries over his fitness.
Dias looks to be carrying his fine form of last season into the current campaign and that's likely to be a huge blow for any side harbouring hopes of wrestling City's Premier League crown away from them.
