How does Man City's historically bad run compare to other top six sides? 📉
Manchester City are on a historically bad run right now.
With their defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday, City have now lost nine of their last 12 games in all competitions.
That is a run unlike any of the 'big six' in the Premier League have seen in an age.
In fact, the good folks at Opta have told us just how long it's been since those clubs went on a run that bad with this excellent tweet.
