We are nearing the end game now.
As Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola rather succinctly put it: “One week left, three games left. Nine points and we will be champions. Seven, six or three points, Arsenal will win the Premier League.”
Guardiola is not placing much faith in Manchester United then, given he expects Arsenal to win every game and the Gunners visit Old Trafford on 12 May.
But, then, he doesn’t have to.
If City win their final three games they will go into the history books as the first team to win the English title in four successive seasons.
