Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City have the chance to wrap up the Premier League title earlier than any top-flight champion before them, with the added bonus of doing so against their fierce rivals Manchester United.
Pep Guardiola’s side will guarantee their second trophy of the season if they beat United, having already secured the EFL Cup in February, but will hope that they do not suffer a repeat performance of the 3-0 hammering they suffered at the hands of Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Post-match reaction from Pep Guardiola
"We did absolutely everything. The qualities of the players from United can do the actions that they've done.
"It's OK. We're a bit sad for our people, especially to try to arrive in a good mood for next Tuesday.
"They found their game. They didn't think many, many things. This is Man United. We have done everything to win the game."
