2016-17 – they haven't won three in a row versus the Gunners since May
1998 (four in a row).

City) – they've since lost seven and drawn five of their matches on
the road against these clubs.
Liverpool won 20 points from 10 Premier League matches against the
rest of the top six in 2016-17; more than any other side.
