Arsenal's loss means only one Premier League team yet to suffer back-to-back defeats

Arsenal's damaging defeat to Manchester City on Sunday means that now only one team in the Premier League has not suffered back-to-back defeats this season.

The Gunners 2-1 defeat to title challengers City came fresh off of the 1-0 loss at home to Bournemouth earlier this month as Mikel Arteta's April difficulties continue.

It also means that only one team has avoided back-to-back defeats in the Premier League this season: Manchester United.

The Red Devils have lost seven times in total in the league so far and have bounced back each time with six wins and one draw following defeats – including victory over Chelsea last time out after losing to Leeds United previously.

Indeed, the last time United were defeated twice in a row in the Premier League was May last year when West Ham United and Chelsea won – a part of three-game losing streak with Brentford defeating Ruben Amorim's side before that.

Local rivals Manchester City lost back-to-back games as recently as August when they lost at home to (how times have changed) and away to Brighton & Hove Albion.
