Manchester City could equal club record today

Manchester: Manchester City can equal a club record of nine consecutive victories with success at West Brom on Boxing Day today.

City have hit form in the past month, with their sequence of eight straight wins carrying them into the Champions League's Last 16 and cutting into Chelsea's lead at the top of the English Premier League.

They trail Chelsea by just three points heading into the Christmas league fixtures having - briefly - been as many as nine behind at one stage last month.
