Pep Guardiola's side were again beaten by Aston Villa at Villa Park, extending their drastic decline in form.
Manchester City's incredible dip in form continued on Saturday (December 21) as Pep Guardiola's side suffered yet another defeat, this time losing 2-1 to Aston Villa.
City have dominated the Premier League in recent years, winning six of the last seven titles, including the last four in a row. However, their chances of extending that streak this season look increasingly slim as they now sit nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, who have two games in a row.
Manchester City's crisis in numbers
A quick look at the table shows that Guardiola's side have been beaten in six of their opening 17 Premier League games, more than they have lost in seven of the last eight full Premier League seasons.
In total, the Mancunians have won just one of their last twelve matches in all competitions, nine of which ended in defeat. A statistic that is especially damning when you consider what came before it.
As highlighted by OneFootball, City had suffered just eight defeats in their previous 106 (yes, one hundred and six) games, underscoring the drastic nature of their total collapse.
Their start to the 2024/2025 season has made it even more shocking as the Premier League holders had started the season with a 13-match unbeaten run, suggesting they would once again be the team to beat in England and Europe.
