This is Manchester City's worst start to a season for five years and their second-worst under Pep Guardiola.

City are third in the Premier League table with 22 points from 12 games, which is just a point fewer than they had at this stage last season.

Interestingly, City did win the title with just 20 points after 12 games in 2020-21, but there was arguably not a title rival like Arsenal to catch that season because Tottenham and Liverpool were at the top with just 25 points.

The most points they have had at this stage under Guardiola is 34 during the title-winning 2017-18 season.
