Manchester City have their sights firmly set on matching Arsenal’s famous Invincibles era.
In a dazzling display, Manchester City crushed Swansea City 4-0 on the evening of 13 December in a midweek English Premier League fixture, shattering Arsenal’s 2002 record of 14 consecutive league wins. Pep Guardiola’s managerial magic shines through, as he now holds the record for most consecutive wins across three top leagues — English Premier League (15), Spanish La Liga (16), and Bundesliga (19).
Known for his offensive, pass-heavy style of football, Pep has tasted victory at Barcelona and Bayern Munich and is now weaving the same footballing artistry at Manchester City. Heading into the Christmas break, City boasts an impressive 11-point lead and a staggering 52 goals scored.
This season, nine different players have thrilled fans by scoring goals, with Delph and Bernardo Silva netting once each and Sergio Aguero (10), Raheem Sterling (9), and Gabriel Jesus (8) leading the score charts. The real magic happens in midfield, where Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, and Leroy Sane collectively share 22 assists with their teammates.
Now, all eyes are on Manchester City as they aim to emulate the legendary Arsenal Invincibles by completing an entire Premier League season unbeaten. Their immediate challenge awaits at home against Spurs on 16 December.
The toughest stretch may come with consecutive fixtures against Leicester, Arsenal, and Chelsea in February and early March — but with 21 games left this season, City looks well poised to match the iconic 2002 Arsenal side.
