Manchester City thrashed Fulham 4-0 at Craven Cottage in the Premier League last Saturday. Following that up with a 2-0 win away to Tottenham on Tuesday, it saw them go top of the league table with 88 points from 37 matches. Joško Gvardiol scored a brace for the Cityzens, as Phil Foden and Julián Álvarez scored a goal each to complete the rout in Saturday’s match.
Pep Guardiola’s side remains the favourites to win their fourth league title in a row, which, should it happen, is going to be a monumental achievement. Moreover, the English champions have another reason to celebrate, as one of their new signings is now scoring goals for fun.The Cityzens will play West Ham United in their last league match before playing in the FA Cup final in June against Manchester United. They remain the favourites to win the domestic double. While West Ham could potentially turn out to be a tricky opponens, the Cityzens’ class and overall quality should see them through.
Should they be able to win the league title, it will be their sixth one under Guardiola. The 53-year-old Spaniard is into his eighth season as the Manchester City manager and keeps on building his legacy at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City’s recruitment and ability to improve young players have been the primary reason behind their unmatched success. Their supporters will hope that the trend keeps going on for them.
