Manchester City stretch their lead with victory over Chelsea

Manchester City are now 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

They beat second-placed Chelsea 1-0 in the early game of the day at the Etihad. Kevin De Bruyne got the goal in the 70th minute.

They've played the same number of games as the Blues - 22 - although third-placed Liverpool, who trail Chelsea by a point, have only played 20 matches so far. They host Brentford at Anfield tomorrow.

12 - Manchester City have won each of their last 12 Premier League games; the ninth run of 12+ successive victories in the competition’s history, with the Citizens now responsible for four of those (and all under Pep Guardiola). Juggernaut. pic.twitter.com/xWT0lZpfCi
