Is Man City the only team to get 100 points?

Premier League points record

Manchester City are the sole team to reach the 100-point mark in a single Premier League season, achieving that feat in 2017-18 under Pep Guardiola. The Premier League officially recognizes this as the highest points total in top-flight English history.

Comparison with other teams

The next highest totals belong to Liverpool (99 points in 2019-20) and Chelsea (95 in 2004-05). No other club has broken the 100-point barrier. As Guardiola noted, “Records are there to be broken, but 100 points is special because it demands consistency across 38 games.”

Who owns 80% of Newcastle?

PIF ownership

Newcastle United is majority owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, which holds an 80% stake following the October 2021 takeover. The consortium also includes PCP Capital Partners and RB Sports & Media. The deal was valued at £300 million (Newcastle United).

Board members

Jamie Reuben and Mehrdad Ghodoussi represent the other stakeholders on the board. PIF’s chair, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, is the non-executive chairman of the club.

Expert predictions

Analysts point to City’s superior squad depth and home advantage (if played at Etihad) as key factors. However, Newcastle’s recent improvement under Eddie Howe makes them a dangerous underdog, especially at St James’ Park where they drew City 1-1 in 2022.

Who is Man City’s biggest rival?

Historical rivalries

Pep Guardiola has famously stated that Liverpool are Manchester City’s greatest rival, citing the intense title battles of 2018-19 and 2021-22. “Liverpool pushed us to be better,” he told the Manchester City official site.

Liverpool rivalry

The two clubs have finished 1-2 in four of the last six seasons, separated by a combined 6 points. Meanwhile, the Manchester derby with United remains a local pride fixture, but City’s recent dominance has shifted the focus to Liverpool as the primary title challenger.

“Liverpool are our greatest rivals because they made us improve every season. Without them, we wouldn’t have reached 100 points.”
