Manchester City v West Ham: Premier League final day

Manchester City are jeopardising jeopardy. Their aura is such that most neutrals have already anointed them as champions, even though they still need to win their final game against West Ham at the Etihad. There’s a simple reason for that: they’re dead, dead good at football. City’s five titles under Pep Guardiola have all included runs of at least 12 consecutive wins, some under the pressure of knowing a draw could be fatal.

The best City can manage this year is nine, but there has been the same feeling of inexorability. A pre-Christmas break in Saudi Arabia – during which they keep themselves occupied by becoming world champions – woke City up, and since their return their league record is P20 W17 D3 L0. This is the fifth time in 13 seasons that City have gone into the final game needing a particular result to win the league. It’s a familiar job that comes with a bonus reward.
