Pep Guardiola has etched his name in Premier League history, becoming the quickest manager to achieve 250 victories. His latest triumph, a 1-0 win over Brentford, marked this significant milestone in only his 349th match.
This impressive feat significantly surpasses the records set by other managerial legends. For instance, former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson reached 250 wins in 404 games, while Arsenal`s iconic manager Arsene Wenger required 423 outings to hit the same mark. Current Everton manager David Moyes, who also managed Manchester United, features on the list, having secured his 250th victory in 645 matches.
Manchester City`s Resurgent Form
Following an initial stumble with consecutive losses to Tottenham and Brighton at the season`s outset, Guardiola`s Manchester City side is steadily regaining its formidable momentum. The team currently boasts an impressive unbeaten run of four league matches and seven across all competitions. The recent victory at the Gtech Community Stadium further propelled them up the league standings to fifth position.
Rodri`s Injury Concern
Sunday saw a concerning moment for City as key midfielder Rodri sustained an injury, forcing him off the pitch just 20 minutes into the match. While the Spain international managed to walk off, he appeared to be in discomfort, potentially facing another period on the sidelines. His fitness will undoubtedly be a crucial point of concern for the club going forward.
Haaland`s Explosive Start to the Season
Manchester City`s prolific striker, Erling Haaland, has started the current 2023-24 season in remarkable fashion, seemingly back to his peak form. He has already netted an astounding 12 goals across all competitions in just nine appearances. Despite this explosive start, the Norwegian international has reportedly expressed feeling the competitive pressure from fellow elite forwards, Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé, in the quest for Europe`s top goalscorer title.
