Manchester City’s Algerian midfielder Riyad Mahrez celebrates after scoring a goal during the Uefa Champions League first leg semi-final football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris April 28, 2021.
Even by his own standards it would complete a sublime week for Guardiola whose team won a fourth-successive League Cup last Sunday, then produced an excellent second-half display to beat Paris St Germain 2-1 in their Champions League semi-final, first-leg yesterday. A 25th league win of the season at Selhurst Park on Saturday would leave City on 80 points, with neighbours United on 67.
They were left in Liverpool’s dust cloud last season, surrendering their title by 18 points, and it appeared the balance of power had shifted to Merseyside.A win at Palace would leave City 26 points better off than Liverpool whose only focus now is to try and make sure they scramble back into the top four.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has known the title race was effectively over weeks ago, but the thought of a loss to bitter rivals Liverpool handing the title to City is not one the Norwegian would relish.
