City's 2023/24 Premier League win: Stats, records and milestones

Men's Team

Manchester City win record fourth-successive Premier League title

We are the first men’s team in the history of English football to win the top-flight title four years in a row, on a run that began in 2020/21.

The success is our sixth in eight years under the guidance of Pep Guardiola and our eighth Premier League in total.

SHOP THE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS RANGE

We now have 10 league titles in the Club’s history, with the first coming 87 years ago.

The latest success is the result of a seismic tussle with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

It is the sixth time we have won the league on the final day of the season.

We have previously needed all 38 matches to seal top spot in 1967/68, 2011/12, 2013/14, 2018/19 and 2021/22.

Our defeat of West Ham this time around took us to the 90-point mark for the fourth time in the Premier League era.

We are the only club to have reached that landmark four times, with Chelsea and Liverpool both doing it on three occasions.

Bernardo proud after historic fourth straight Premier League triumph

We have won 28 of our 38 games, drawing seven times and losing three games.

Here we take a look at the statistics that make up our 2023/24 Premier League campaign.

Home form

There’s no doubting the Etihad Stadium has been a fortress throughout our success in recent years.

However, this is the first season Pep Guardiola has ever gone a full season without Premier League defeat at our home ground.

Across our 19 home league games, we have won 14 matches and drawn five, collecting a total of 47 points.

We have not suffered a defeat at home in the Premier League since November 2022, a run of 30 games.

Golden Boot

Erling Haaland’s 27 goals have earned him his second Golden Boot in his first two years as a City player.

It follows a record breaking 36 goals in his debut campaign, with the 23-year-old now just the fifth man to claim the award outright in consecutive seasons.

He is also the first City player to win the gong more than once, with Carlos Tevez sharing the prize with Dimitar Berbatov in 2010/11 and Sergio Aguero hitting 26 in 2014/15.

Haaland has enjoyed an unbelievable first two seasons at City, claiming six major honours including back-to-back Premier League titles.

This term saw him score hat-tricks against Fulham and Wolves as well as vital goals against the likes of Liverpool, Spurs, Manchester United and Chelsea on our road to a record fourth straight Premier League title.

His latest individual award comes after he was nominated for the Premier League Player and Young Player of the Season awards, after winning both in 2022/23.

Six with six

We have won the Premier League a total of eight times but many of our current squad have now won the trophy on all six occasions Guardiola has led us to success.

Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson, Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, John Stones and Kyle Walker have been part of every single title we have claimed since Guardiola’s arrival.

They are the most successful players in the Club’s history when it comes to league titles.

Unstoppable

Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias have both won the league in every season they have been at City.

The pair arrived in the summer of 2020 and have been key members of this history making run that has seen us top the table in each of the last four years.

Dias has played 117 games in the competition while Ake has played 78 Premier League games for City.

Unbeatable Rodrigo

Rodrigo has now gone 50 games without defeat in the Premier League.

That is the second best run in the league’s history, with only Sol Campbell ahead of him on 56.

34 of those appearances came in this campaign, with the Spaniard missing three games through suspension and rested for the other.

His last defeat in the league was all the way back in February 2023, when we went down 1-0 at Spurs.

Premier League harder than I expected, says Haaland

Fantastic Foden

Phil Foden has had the best season of his career.

The Premier League Player of the Season and FWA Footballer of the Year scored 19 times in the league and laid on eight assists for team-mates.

Only three players across the whole division scored more than our attacking midfielder.

In total, he created 73 chances across the season - which was six more than our next best player.

The Academy graduate has also operated in a variety of positions for Guardiola’s team, demonstrating his supreme quality both being deployed wide and also operating in a more central creative role.

Goals scored

City have been the most prolific side in the league, netting 96 goals in total.

Spread across our 38 games, that averages out at 2.52 per 90 minutes.

The next best scorers in the league were runners up Arsenal, who found the net 91 times.

Haaland’s 27 goals have obviously led the way for Pep Guardiola’s side, while Phil Foden hit 19 in the highest scoring season of his career so far and Julian Alvarez scored 11.

Pep’s record

Pep Guardiola’s six Premier League titles cements his place as the second most successful manager in the division’s history, with only Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of him on 13.

In terms of top-flight titles throughout English football history, Guardiola has now drawn level with George Ramsay and Bob Paisley in second place.

Ramsay led Aston Villa in the late 19th and early 20th century, while Paisley was Liverpool boss in the 1970s and 80s.

He is far and away the most dominant manager in the league since arriving in 2016, collecting 716 points from his 304 matches. That puts us 59 points ahead of nearest challengers Liverpool and 149 more than Arsenal, who have been the third best team over those eight seasons.

Walker: It’s one of the proudest moments of my City career

Our manager hit 300 games in the league with the April victory over Nottingham Forest.

He amassed 70 points more than any other Premier League manager ever has in their first 300 matches, winning 221 games compared to 189 for Jose Mourinho, 188 for Jurgen Klopp, 183 for Alex Ferguson and 180 for Arsene Wenger.

Since his first season in senior management at Barcelona, Guardiola has won 12 league titles. That is twice as many as any other manager has achieved across Europe’s top five leagues in that time span.

Massimiliano Allegri is next most successful in terms of league titles with six – all of which were won in Italy.

Boxing Day deficit

City were eight points behind the leaders on Boxing Day for the second successive season.

Before we did so last term, only two teams in Premier League history had ever come back from an eight point deficit on 26 December to win the title. They were Manchester United in 1995/96 and Arsenal in 1997/98.

Longest winning and unbeaten runs

City’s nine straight victories to finish the season and carry us to another Premier League title is the longest winning run by any side in the division this season.

The 23 matches since our 6 December defeat at Aston Villa is also the longest unbeaten run by any team in the league.

It is our second longest unbeaten run in the Premier League between the 30 games between April 2017 and January 2018.

Over that period, we have won 19 and drawn four times as we collected the 55 points that lifted us above Arsenal and Liverpool.

Liverpool’s 15 successive games without defeat between October and February was the next best unbeaten run across the division, while Arsenal won eight matches back-to-back from January to March.
