00:00Michael, just looking at Manchester City and obviously now they are the fourth-highest,
00:06longest unbeaten record in the Premier League's history. I mean, quite remarkable only Mourinho's
00:11Chelsea side, Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool and obviously Arsene Wenger's Arsenal sit above
00:17them. I mean, it's remarkable that they've got this and we speak about it every year,
00:22they break that sort of gear past December time and they just go on this streak. But
00:27it seems that the streak just isn't ending at the moment.
00:30Yes, it's true. Yeah, and they just keep going and going and going. They've been in some
00:35difficult positions over the last couple of weeks, particularly I think that Arsenal game
00:39where it really looked like the run was going to come to an end and they pulled something
00:42out of the bag in that game. Very easily could have lost against Fulham a couple of weeks
00:46ago. But look, they are an elite team. They know how to win football matches, as simple
00:51as that might sound. And sometimes even when the performances aren't amazing, they know
00:54how to get across the line. So 31 games is a remarkable achievement to go without a defeat.
01:00Even if it ends next week, I think that's something you applaud and recognise. I do
01:05think they have the capacity and the capability to keep going and get close to that Arsenal
01:10record. I think the issue will be perhaps the number of fixtures that they're going
01:14to face across the various competitions. And I was having a look and assuming my maths
01:19is right, which I think it is, and a lot of fixtures can be changed. But at the moment,
01:25the way the fixtures stack up, they could equal the record against Liverpool, which
01:28would be quite the story. And they could actually set the new record against Tottenham. So that
01:34would be quite the story. No, I say those fixtures can change, but real achievement
01:38from City. And yeah, I suspect they have got a little bit longer left in that run.
