Manchester City struggled in the early part of the season but now look certain to win the title. They top the table by 14 points and can extend that even further with a home win over second placed Manchester United. City have three games in the next week, a trio of wins will see them at least 23 points clear of United. They just keep on winning at the moment and show few signs if any of slowing down. City's 4-1 home win over Wolves on Monday was their 15th straight league win and in all competitions, it's 21 in a row. A form guide for the past 15 Premier League matches has them 16 points clear of everyone else. What would they do if Aguero and De Bruyne were playing?  City have won their last eight home league games with only two goals conceded. They've had a few problems in recent years when United come to the Etihad with two of the last three home league games against them lost.

Manchester United don't look in the form to win this game. Their last three league and cup games have all ended goalless. The last five league games have seen United fall another eight points behind the league leaders. They are still in the Europa League and FA Cup but the league title looks well beyond them. Even a win on Sunday will see them still 11 points behind City. They need to concentrate on ensuring a top four finish and are five points clear of fifth placed Everton, who have a game in hand. United have scored 25 away league goals this season but not so many of late The last four have seen just one away goal scored. Go for City to win this match.
