EPL: Guardiola close to breaking Mourinho's record -

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

Having become 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.

But Guardiola looks set to surpass that mark as he currently has 87 wins from 114 games.

This means he only needs 13 victories in the next 27 matches to eclipse Mourinho’s mark.

Guardiola will also eclipse the games it took to reach 100 wins for Sir Alex Ferguson (162), Arsene Wenger (179), Rafa Benitez (181) and Claudio Ranieri (187).

Manchester City can win their first trophy of the campaign on Sunday, when they take on Liverpool in the Community Shield at Wembley.

Their Premier League campaign begins with a trip to West Ham, before a home game against Tottenham.
