5 Premier League records Manchester City could break this season

#4 Most consecutive wins in a Premier League season – 13

To break the current record of 13 consecutive wins, City will need to overcome their bitter rivals Man United

So we touched upon this one in the previous slide. The 2017/18 iteration of Manchester City are only one game away from their first record, well, equalling it anyway – the record for the most consecutive Premier League wins, currently held by Conte’s Chelsea of last season, and Arsenal’s title-winning side of 2001/02.

If City beat West Ham this weekend, they’ll be level with those two great sides. And with West Ham’s current form, any result other than a City win would be a jaw-dropper.

A couple of points to make here. Firstly, the two record-breaking runs of consecutive wins came much further into the season than the point we’re at now. Chelsea’s run of games began in October and came to an end in January, while Arsenal’s didn’t even start until February, but of course, they won every single game from that point until the end of the season.

With a large number of games – 24 in total – to come, even if they were to slip up soon, City would likely have another chance at breaking this record if they can keep up their form.

Secondly? This is a total coincidence, but if they do beat West Ham, the team that will stand between them winning 14 consecutive games and claiming the record for themselves? Manchester United – led by Pep Guardiola’s old nemesis Jose Mourinho, of course.

It had to be them really, didn’t it? Fate alone would suggest that Mourinho’s side could prove to be the ones to stop their bitter rivals breaking this record, but then again, I don’t think Guardiola’s men care much about fate. Beat United and win 14 games in a row, and from there, anything could be possible.
