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

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 Tottenham Hotspur (how times have changed) and away to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Looking at the top four tiers, only five other teams are yet to lose two league games in a row. While no team in the Championship has yet to do that this season, in League One, Bolton Wanderers and leaders Lincoln City are yet to suffer two losses.

Down in League Two, there are three teams yet to suffer back-to-back losses: already-promoted Bromley, Cambridge United, and Chesterfield.
