How far are Man City from the record?

City are 10 away from going outright third on the all-time list and surpassing Chelsea's run of 40 matches unbeaten.
City's next 10 matches are against Southampton (H), AFC Bournemouth (A), Brighton & Hove Albion (A), Tottenham Hotspur (H), Liverpool (A), Nottingham Forest (H), Crystal Palace (A), Manchester United (H), Aston Villa (A) and Everton (H).
