Manchester City F.C. league record by opponent

Manchester City Football Club is an English association football club based in Manchester, which competes in the Premier League. Founded as West Gorton (St Marks) in 1880, the club after several changes of identity adopted the name 'Manchester City' in 1894. During the 1891–92 season, Manchester City joined the Football Alliance. The team was elected to The Football League in 1892, where the club remained until 1992, when the League's First Division was replaced as the top level of English football by the Premier League.[1]

Manchester City's first team has competed in a number of nationally contested leagues, and its record against each club faced in these competitions is listed below. The team that Manchester City has met most in league competition is Arsenal, against whom they have contested 170 league matches. Arsenal have also defeated Manchester City in league competition on 85 occasions, which represents the most Manchester City have lost against any club. Manchester City have defeated both Birmingham City and Everton on 60 different occasions in the league, more times than they have defeated any other club in league fixtures - City have played Birmingham City, including their previous incarnations, on 134 occasions and have played Everton 161 times. Manchester City have drawn more matches with Manchester United than with any other club; out of the 151 league matches between the two teams, 50 have finished without a winner.

Key

Wartime matches are regarded as unofficial and are excluded, as are matches from the abandoned 1939–40 season. Test Matches are not included. The 1999 Second Division play-off Final is regarded as an away match for the purposes of classification in this table.
• For the sake of simplicity, present-day names are used throughout: for example, results against Newton Heath, Small Heath and Woolwich Arsenal are integrated into the records against Manchester United, Birmingham City and Arsenal, respectively.
