Roberto Mancini has led his troops through a highly successful period, leading the way in the standings for most of the 54 weeks over which they have maintained this astonishing run of form.
It is a record that has seen City blitz 56 goals and concede just eight, a fearsome statistic of which any side in the world would be proud.
The journey begins more than a year ago as the Citizens lined up to face Wigan on March 5 2011.
