Currently sat in third position in the Premier League, if Man City win their game in hand they will put themselves just two points behind current leaders Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola is the master of getting his players to peak at just the right time of the season, in much the same way as Sir Alex Ferguson used to do for neighbours United.
As was shown to devastating effect last season, the Cityzens are quite happy to bide their time as they stalk their prey, then hitting the accelerator in February/March time to leave everyone else in their slipstream.
Whilst it’s true that they’ve had a little wobble to knock them out of their stride already, that’s unlikely to worry Guardiola.
City are seeking to become the first side in Premier League history to win the title in four consecutive seasons, their current three in a row mirroring the United sides of 1998/99, 1999/2000, 2000/01 and 2006/07, 2007/08 and 2008/09.
It would be a significant achievement, particularly given the club will also be trying to repeat their European and FA Cup successes.
One player that won’t be taking part in any further games for the club is goalkeeper, Zack Steffen.
.@zacksteffen_ has left City to join Major League Soccer side Colorado Rapids.
All the best for the future, Zack!

According to a post from the official Man City X account, the custodian has been sold to MLS side, Colorado Rapids.
It is true that Man.city has won more consecutive league titles more than any side in England. The reason emanates from the honest veracity that the referees in England are giving city a helping hand. Every body knows that.One time Rodri handled the ball deliberately at Goodson park but the referee of the day refused to award a penalty to Everton. An incident involving Onana is still fresh. City have 115 cases which contributed to their previous success.
Be careful with your comments on Man City and other clubs! Your club are clean as pure water I take it. Never put a foot wrong. Sure they are perfect!
As for mentioning 115 cases, please do mention what they are as you have not mentioned ‘alleged’. You need to back up your statement. Do remind all of us that every club in the football league are clean of any possible ‘alleged FFP offence.
So, before you come on here spouting, do back up your statement. It might come back to bite you….
For sure man city is free from ffp offence
Out of 38 games there was only a single game of city that decided the outcome! In previous games city never had a decision against them and all the other teams had decisions against them! Yes sure – only one decision in one game decided the season! Logic from Mars!! lol
