If any of the top six teams were going to catch Manchester City this season they needed Man U to beat them last Sunday. The Red Devils were unable to do that and by beating their arch-rivals City set a new EPL record. It was their 14th victory in a row in the Premier League which has never been achieved before in a single season. Arsenal did manage to win 14 games in a row back in 2002 but that was achieved over two seasons. At the rate that the Blues are going, it looks likely that the bookies will pay out on them winning the league before the turn of the new year.
It was the 175th time that the two Manchester clubs have faced each other and it used to be United that was the dominant force. Times have changed though since the era of Sir Alex Ferguson’s and Man U fans are still waiting for their first title victory since his retirement. They could be waiting a very long time if Pep Guardiola decides to stay on for the long term as at present they look unbeatable.
