It is the first time Guardiola has lost four leagues matches in a row in his managerial career. Four league defeats already surpasses City's total number of losses last season. They can remain winless in eight games for the first time since November 2003 to January 2004.

The Blues head to the south coast this evening looking to keep pace in the Premier League title race, despite Enzo Maresca claiming his team are not a contender. The manager marked six months in the job yesterday and has taken Chelsea to joint-second in the table, level on points, goal difference, goal scored and every other metric with Arsenal.

Premier League action continues on Wednesday, Dec. 4 with Chelsea taking on Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, England. The match is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. EST and will be broadcast exclusively on Peacock, which provides highlights and post-match coverage across the Premier League.
