English Premier League: City can clinch title in Manchester derby
[]
In the English Premier League, Manchester City can be crowned champions with a win at home to rivals Manchester United in the late kickoff later tonight. The Citizens were brought crashing back down to earth after losing 3-nil to Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, and boss Pep Guardiola was in a feisty mood in his pre-game press conference, making claims he had the chance to sign Red Devils' duo Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January.
While the midfielders have bundles of talent, they wouldn't have been in need in City's stunning 3-1 display at Everton last week. The pair's agent, Mino Raiola, has had a turbulent relationship with the Spaniard, which dates back to a situation from 2012 involving Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his move to PSG, describing the ex-Barcelona boss as a coward and a dog. A win today will set the record for the fastest Premier League title win, and with a 16-point lead at the top, it's realistically only a matter of time before City get their hands on the trophy for the third time. To do it against their biggest rivals would make it even sweeter, especially after this week's events on and off the pitch.
