Robbie Earle has said that if Manchester City won the Premier League title this season, they would be the best team in top-flight history.
The Citizens, who are currently aiming to make history and become the first team to win the title four times in a row, have Liverpool and Arsenal around them at the top of the table.
With the title race now in full swing, one pundit has dropped a claim on how Pep Guardiola’s side should be viewed if they end up lifting the trophy again.
Earle says City will be the best ever if they win four in a row
Speaking in a recent video shared on the NBC Sports YouTube channel, Earle had this to say about City and what their status would be if they were to win the Premier League title again this season.
He said: “It’s this period, this third of the season where Manchester City kick into gear and everybody expects them now to go on an unbeaten run.
“If they do that and if they win the title it’d be four on the bounce and for me, it ends the argument of the best-ever Premier League team. It would be Manchester City and Pep because nobody has done that before.”
During Guardiola’s reign at the Manchester club, they have won five Premier League titles, three of which have come in their three previous campaigns.
With no other side in the Premier League era managing to lift a fourth consecutive trophy, the opportunity to break another record and make history will undoubtedly be a mouth-watering prospect for everyone connected to the club.
If they want to make that dream come true, the players and coaching staff will have to make sure they do all they can to pick up as many points as possible if they want to chase down Liverpool and keep Arsenal away from them.
