English term or phrase: free-scoring
We have three big games from the Premier League including West Ham hosting Tottenham, free-scoring Manchester City face Crystal Palace – yet to score in the Premier League this season – and then Leicester City take on Liverpool on Saturday evening.

Does it means it has become usual for Manchester City to score lots of goals?

Here's another example from a couple of days ago:

"Why Chelsea could be the perfect team to nullify free-scoring Man City
Manchester City are in exceptional form, having scored 26 goals in seven wins from their last seven matches, performing the kind of free-flowing, exciting, attacking football many expected of Pep Guardiola's expensively assembled and constantly coached team."
