Can anyone halt the Manchester City juggernaut? Pep Guardiola’s side benefited from another show of excellence by Ilkay Gündogan, who scored twice, for a 16th consecutive win in a supreme team performance.
City’s lead at the summit of the Premier League is seven points over Leicester and though Manchester United can cut it to five by beating West Brom today/on Sunday, their cross-town rivals will still have a match in hand and there is a chance will start to disappear into the distance. Liverpool are 13 points behind City having played a game more and Guardiola was asked about Jürgen Klopp’s comments following the loss at Leicester earlier that the champions’s title defence is over.
