With an away win at Fulham, Manchester City overtook Arsenal in the table and are just two games away from an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
The last time Manchester City led the Premier League was on 13 April, when they beat Luton Town 5-1, while Arsenal and Liverpool lost to Villa and Crystal Palace respectively.
City's clash with Tottenham was then postponed, allowing Arsenal to regain the lead with a game in hand. However, Manchester City's advantage is already very obvious.
In the 37th round, Manchester City took the lead, which allowed the Blues to overtake Arsenal in the table with a win. Manchester City did not miss such an opportunity, beating Fulham 4-0 away.
With the same two games remaining, Manchester City are two points more than Arsenal and only two goals less than Arsenal on goal difference.
In the last two games, Manchester City played Tottenham and West Ham respectively, while Arsenal played Manchester United and Everton respectively. Judging by the current form and the situation in the standings, neither team may drop points, which means that Manchester City will finally reverse Arsenal again to complete the fourth consecutive Premier League title.
After being held to a draw by Arsenal, Manchester City began to make a push in the Premier League, winning all seven Premier League games, winning each game by at least two goals, tying the longest winning streak with more than two goals in team history. Meanwhile, City are unbeaten in 33 games in all competitions since losing to Villa in December 2023, continuing to break a new all-time record.
Against Fulham, Manchester City have won 16 in a row, setting a record for the longest winning streak against the same team in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola extended his winning streak against Marco Silva to 14 games, in which City scored 48 goals and conceded just eight. Rodri extended his unbeaten run in the Premier League to 49 games, second only to Campbell who is unbeaten in 56 games in Premier League history.
The fact that so many records have been set and extended is enough to show Manchester City's determination to defend the Premier League title. Once they win their last two Premier League games, Manchester City will become the first team in the history of the English top flight to win four consecutive titles.
However, Pep Guardiola will not be satisfied and will be hoping to defend the FA Cup with a win over Manchester City, in addition to a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
