Premier League: Unbreakable records held by Manchester City
What's the story
Manchester City will be aiming to win their four consecutive Premier League title as they are in sensational form heading into the 2023-24 season.
Since Pep Guardiola arrived in 2016, the Citizens have dominated the league.
They had a breathtaking 2017-18 PL season while last season the Spaniard guided them to the treble.
In the last decade, they have been extremely consistent.
Margin
Biggest Premier League title-winning margin
