Manchester City already has a 16-point lead over United's rival United, who yesterday suffered a surprise loss from Newcastle. For all of us, it has long been clear that Pep Guardiola's machine will be the new champion of England. But how early could this happen? The calculations show that "citizens" need only six wins in the Premier League to secure their title. The latter can happen in a very unpleasant way for Manchester United.
The two teams go out against each other at Etihad on April 7th. Until then there are five rounds. Assuming that Manchester City and Manchester United win all of their matches by then, or just take the same number of points, "citizens" can officially become champions against their rival, as long as they do not lose that game.
This option seems to be fair for City fans, but it is important to mention what rivals the two teams have to face up to their confrontation with Etihad. The leader has matches with Arsenal, Chelsea, Stoke City, Brighton, and Everton. United will face Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, West Ham, and Swansea.
If that scenario is met, then City will equalize United's 2000/01 record for a team that earliest guaranteed the title - five rounds before the end. Of course, there is a real opportunity for "citizens" to improve this record and win the title in March.
