Pep Guardiola concedes that he may be about to lose one entry in the Premier League record books to Liverpool, with the Reds on course to better Manchester City’s 100-point haul from 2017-18.
At the time, reaching three figures was considered to be a remarkable achievement.
Even Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ from 2003-04 only collected 90 points from 38 games, with City restoring domestic dominance in some style.
They followed up those efforts with another 98 points last season, as they pipped Liverpool to the post.
City have fallen off the pace this term, as Jurgen Klopp’s unbeaten Reds surge towards a first top-flight crown in 30 years, and the history books may be rewritten.
A bar that the Blues raised considerably could be lifted even higher by a side that have already sent a number of records tumbling through a 23-game run that has delivered 22 wins.
Asked if he expects Liverpool to top his City centurions, Guardiola said: “Yeah it can happen. Records are there to be broken.
“We broke it when someone said we couldn’t and sooner or later it will be broken again. History speaks clearly about that. It is not easy to beat Liverpool, they have found a way to win games.”
