Manchester City have set an unwanted record following their 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in the Premier League.
City have endured a shaky run of form in recent days, having lost three of their last four matches across competitions.
Pep Guardiola's charges have so far lost to Newcastle United, Wolves, and Arsenal in less than two weeks, sparking concerns about the possibility of them winning the treble once again this season.
City initially suffered a 2-1 surprise defeat against Wolves in the Premier League and were hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they faced Arsenal on Sunday, October 8.

According to The Mirror, Gabriel Martinelli's brilliant deflected goal deep in the second half was the only difference as the Gunners silenced City at home.
The tie looked set to end in a goalless draw before Martinelli came off the bench to fire the hosts into victory.
ESPN reports that this is the first time City have suffered two straight Premier League defeats since 2018.
Guardiola's charges will be keen to get their campaign back on track when they face Brighton on Saturday, October 21, after the international break.
Earlier, Sports Brief reported Erling Haaland has highlighted the moment he knew Arsenal would not beat Manchester City to the Premier League title last season.

FootballThe Gunners were in a pole position to secure the crown last term under Mikel Arteta after a dominant run through the campaign.
Arteta's charges enjoyed a significant advantage over City in the title race for the better part of the season and were the odds favourites to cart home the title.
However, they lost the race to City, who won it by five points.
