Manchester City matches at Etihad Stadium
Getty ImagesThe most decorated Premier League club of the past decade and very much English football's dominant force since Sir Alex Ferguson retired from their rivals Manchester United, Manchester City has been tough to beat in recent times.
Next Match
Six-time winners of the top flight in the modern era, with four of those trophies coming in the Pep Guardiola era, only Chelsea and Liverpool have won the title during the Spaniard's reign at the Etihad Stadium.
Last season's treble has elevated them to rarefied company, however, cementing their place as the greatest club football side in English football in recent times, and perhaps since the turn of the millennium, with stars such as Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish helping to power their mighty machine.
Their home, Etihad Stadium, opened in 2003 for football purposes, has become synonymous with their success and has proven a supreme fortress for their concentrated efforts to dominate the game. Few teams relish a trip to City - and fewer still come away with anything to show for their record.
