Guardiola edges closer to Mourinho's Premier League record

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is on track to set another Premier League record, with one of Jose Mourinho's marks in his sights.

Fresh from becoming the first manager to win the English domestic treble with the Citizens last season, Guardiola is closing in on the record for least amount of matches required to get 100 Premier League wins.

Mourinho currently holds that record from his time at Chelsea, with his first 100 wins coming in only 142 league matches in charge of the Stamford Bridge club.

But Guardiola looks set to surpass that mark as he currently has 87 wins from 114 games - meaning he only needs 13 victories in the next 27 matches to eclipse Mourinho's mark.
