Manchester City could win the title having spent just two weeks top – but that's NOTHING on record-holding Burnley

Manchester City's Spanish manager Pep Guardiola smokes a cigar as he attends an event for fans with members of the Manchester City football team following an open-top bus parade through Manchester, north-west England on May 23, 2022, to celebrate winning the 2021-22 Premier League title.

Manchester City could end up winning the title – despite only being top for two matchdays out of 38 all season long. 

The Citizens topped the table two weeks into the season before they dropped two points to Newcastle United and wouldn't get back there until they beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in February. That following weekend, two more dropped points away to Nottingham Forest would see the Gunners re-assume their place top.
