Pep Guardiola thinks a replay of Sergio Aguero’s incredible last-gasp title winner ten years ago is not entirely out of the question next week. But he says Manchester City will be doing their best to ensure that it does not come to that!
On the anniversary of that remarkable moment, which brought to an end 44 years without a league title, the Blues have been celebrating, with the unveiling of an Aguero statue at the Etihad Stadium the centre point. But with City three points clear of Liverpool with two games to play, the possibility of another tense finish to the campaign cannot be ruled out.
If City lose at West Ham on Sunday, where they could be down to just one fit centre back, and Liverpool go to Southampton and win on Tuesday, the two teams would go into the last day level on points, but with the Blues boasting a better goal difference. It would be the same scenario as 2012, when only a City win would secure the crown, and they left it until added time to score the two goals that did just that.
