The 2020-21 Premier League title race has now become a battle for second place with Manchester City stretching their lead at the top to 12 points over the weekend.
A win at home to Wolves on Tuesday would take City 15 points clear of the pack and register their 21st consecutive victory in all competitions, so the challenge of closing the gap next season is already focusing minds among rival clubs. And if City strike a deal to sign Lionel Messi this summer, their domestic challengers will have an even bigger task ahead of them in terms of beating Pep Guardiola's team to silverware next season.
