Manchester City have secured the under-18 Premier League North division title for the fourth successive season, with a dominant 4-2 victory over second-placed Sunderland this afternoon.
The triumph for Ben Wilkinson's youth team keeps alive the chances of a third successive Premier League clean sweep for City at first team, under-21 and under-18 level, and this represents the fourth year in a row that the young Blues have won the north division.
The under-18s can win the national title when they face FA Youth Cup finalists West Ham, who are runaway winners of the Southern division.
