"We are going to try and do it. Goals from Raheem Sterling (2), Aymeric Laporte, Rodrigo and Phil Foden inspired City back to the top of the Premier League table. (It was a) perfect afternoon. - City have scored five or more goals in the Premier League for the 30th time underPep Guardiola– more than Liverpool (14) and Spurs (13). - City became the only team in Europe’s big five leagues to have four or more different players reach 10 assists in all competitions this season with Joao Cancelo (10) joining Kevinde Bruyne(13), Phil Foden(11) and Jesus (11). "Three more points. - The reigning champions have scored 20 Premier League goals from set-pieces this season (excluding penalties), the most of any side. "I am very pleased. - City have lost just one of the past 29 league games against Newcastle (W24, D4). Rodrigo was on target and there were two goals in added time - but this time it was our Rodrigo and City scored the goals! That wasn’t the end of the end of the scoring, with the excellent Oleks Zinchenko laying on a fourth for Phil Foden to sweep home in the final minute to leave the Etihad jubilant. The bottom line is that the Blues need seven points from three games to guarantee a fourth Premier League title in five years.

Man City are on the cusp of back-to-back Premier League titles, yet their 2021-22 could be remembered just for spoiling Liverpool's quadruple quest.

"Hopefully we can arrive at the Aston Villa game on the final day of the season with the destiny of the Premier League in our hands. We have to do it." "With what this team have done, do you have any doubt?" "We are going to try to win there. "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone," the City manager said. After Liverpool's draw with Tottenham Hotspur and City's 5-0 win over Newcastle United this weekend, Pep Guardiola's side need seven points from their last three games to win the title for the fourth time in the past five years.

The City fans were able to bask in cries of "championees" for the final quarter and two more goals in stoppage time gave them the insurance of a goal difference cushion even if they are to drop points in the next fortnight. Liverpool remain in contention for a historic quadruple of trophies, but their 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham on Saturday opened the door for City to extend their lead at the top of the table. The Spanish giants came from two goals down in the dying stages to win a classic semi-final 6-5 on aggregate and set up a meeting with Liverpool in Paris.

Manchester City claimed a vital 5-0 victory against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon to return to the top of the Premier League.

Sterling broke the deadlock with a close-range header. Was there in the right place to grab City’s second and looked competent at the back for the Sky Blues too. His ball to Jesus alone was sensational after 31 minutes and he was unlucky not to get an assist for it. Although having an early miss, Cancelo did play a part in breaking the deadlock with a cushioned header across goal to set up Sterling for City’s opener. Did not have much to do today and went off at half-time with suggestions of a potential injury. City then attacked continuously until they broke the deadlock with a close-range header from Raheem Sterling after 20 minutes.

Guardiola confirmed after the game that Dias will miss the rest of the season through injury, with Kyle Walker and John Stones also unavailable for the remaining matches. When you consider all the ways they can score that is a no-no. That knowledge that City were no longer in a win or bust scenario took a little of the sting out of the fixture and gave them some freedom. If Rodri has to play [at centre-back he will]. We have the academy. Asked how important the veteran Brazilian will be, Guardiola said: "I would say a lot." We are going to try to win the game, playing our best, that is for sure." Asked on Friday afternoon, what response he expected from his players, Pep Guardiola told Sky Sports, "I think we are going to perform well. On reflection, Wood's headed chance after eight minutes was a key moment in the game. It was all that they needed.

Manchester City have been linked with Paul Pogba on a free transfer but the Sky Sports panel were split.

I don’t know how we’re still talking about it five or six years in about how to get the best out of him, get the best out of yourself, you don't need a manager for to get the best out of you?" "That's a massive problem for me, so the manager demands I work hard so a manager doesn't demand I work hard, I don't work hard as a player? "Paul Pogba whether you see him in a French shirt or at United, unbelievable quality, but we’re still six years in and we’re still talking about his best position, who can get the best out of him. It’s a no brainer, I think it'll be a no brainer to take him with his qualities, he scores goals, he adds so much to the team, you're going to lose Fernandinho. " He doesn’t work hard as much as the other players, if Pep could get it out of him fantastic, there's no doubting his ability but when you look at City's creative players Foden, Bernardo Silva these types of players who are brilliant and don't stop working from minute one to 90, that's what makes Man City who they are. It would be an incredible move, a brave move, but I’d love to see that in the Premier League, I think it'd make sense all round.

Mbete was also on the bench at the weekend and has been a fixture in first-team squads over the past 18 months.

“What happened with Liverpool and today makes Wednesday an absolute final, final for us,” Guardiola said. “With what this team has done, do you have any doubt?” “Rúben, Kyle and John are out for the season,” Guardiola said.

Manchester City will be without Rúben Dias, Kyle Walker and John Stones as they seek to retain the title in the final three matches of the season.

Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker are out for the season at Manchester City. And Pep Guardiola's defensive problems do not end there.

Jurgen Klopp may be unhappy with how Tottenham played but Manchester City don't care and took full advantage.

United have a 47 per cent win record with Maguire in the team this season and have won 29 per cent of their matches without him. If there’s one thing that supporters understandably hate, it is following their team away from home at great length and expense to watch a team that they believe cares far less about the outcome of the match than they do. Lose that and they must beat Brighton on the final day while United lose to Crystal Palace. It’s hardly beyond the edge of reason. Instead they strolled in the sunshine, winning the game early and then capping it off with two goals in the final three minutes to give themselves a four-goal advantage over Liverpool as well as the three points. The best solution is the one that gives you the highest chance of success and Antonio Conte has nothing to feel ashamed about. It matters that they have played two struggling sides and a Southampton team in disarray, but still: Palace have had more than five shots on target in two of those games (and five in the other). They have only done that nine times all season. And for all the brilliance of last season, culminating in that Champions League final win, this has been a season of diminished returns. There are ways of dealing with frustration; Leeds’ reactions to their adversity suggest that they have little capability of coping with the pressure. “I need to watch it again, but it was a lack of execution of discipline and execution of the match plan throughout a whole half and we get punished for it,” Tuchel said after the game, clearly unhappy with plenty of his senior players. The uncertainty over the ownership (and there are still plenty of people who don’t realise just how sticky this could still get if Roman Abramovich continues to put sticks between the spokes) clearly hasn’t helped, but Thomas Tuchel seems to have lost a little control of his team. They took five extra points than the previous season in his first campaign, matched that total in his second and will take between six and 10 extra points again in 2021-22. And in that scenario, there’s a lot less point having him in the side at all.
