Manchester City is just two wins away from securing an unprecedented fourth consecutive English championship title. The team's latest victory, a commanding 4-0 win over Fulham, propelled them into a two-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League standings. With two games remaining, City's fate lies in their own hands as they face Tottenham and West Ham in their final fixtures.
Manager Pep Guardiola expressed confidence in his players' ability to handle the pressure, emphasizing their focus on one game at a time. City's recent success has been fueled by unexpected goal-scoring contributions, including two goals from left-back Josko Gvardiol in the Fulham match.
If City can maintain their form and secure victories in their remaining games, they will make history as the first team in English soccer to win the top division title four years in a row. Additionally, City is set to face Manchester United in the upcoming FA Cup final on May 25.
