Before this campaign, after a 2-0 victory over Watford to win 10 consecutive league games, Liverpool temporarily overtook Manchester City to the top of the Premier League with a two-point advantage. That was Liverpool's first Premier League top spot since September last year, when they trailed City by 14 points.

It has to be said that Guardiola's team is too stable. According to statistics, Manchester City have led the Premier League for the 23rd time this season, and they have won all of them, and they are also the only team in the Premier League so far this season that can maintain the lead until the end of the game. However, no team in premier league history has been able to win all the games in the entire season, and Manchester City are now eight games away from making history.
