Guardiola won the fastest 100 home matches in the Premier League

Guardiola only needed 128 games at the Etihad to reach this milestone. He drew 16 and lost the remaining 12 matches. The previous record was set by former manager Arsene Wenger with Arsenal after 139 games.

Man City's home form this season contributes to the aforementioned record. They have won 12 of their 14 games at the Etihad, averaging 2.64 points and scoring 47 goals in these matches (average 3.3 goals per game). This is also Man City's seventh consecutive victory in all competitions. They scored 24 goals and conceded only twice in that streak. Even Man City scored 17 goals in the last three matches.

The victory also helps Man City improve its record against teams in the "Big 6" group. Despite losing to Tottenham, Man Utd and Liverpool, Guardiola's teachers and students have defeated rival teams at least once this season. Man City are also unbeaten in every match without Erling Haaland. In seven matches without the main Norwegian striker, they won six, drew one, and scored 17 goals.

Liverpool used to be the opponent that made Man City shy in the English Premier League. But in the past three years, Guardiola's teachers and students have three times scored four goals against their rivals, including wins 4-1 (April 2023), 4-1 (February 2021) and 4-0 (July). 2020). Kevin De Bruyne's 2-1 goal, delivered in the 53rd second of the second half, was the fastest Liverpool conceded since being conceded by Sylvain Distin (Everton) in the 40th second in 2011. .

This is also Liverpool's fifth defeat in 2023, or 50% of their games this year. This number of defeats is even more than in 2022 when they played 35 games.
