MANCHESTER, England, (Reuters) - Manchester City took a big step towards retaining the Premier League title with a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday sending them back to the top of the table. City have 89 points, one more than rivals Liverpool, with both teams having three games to play -- and none of them against top six opponents. Second-half goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane ensured a comfortable win for City, who have now won 11 straight league games. The form book suggests City should win the title, much to the frustration of Liverpool who have lost just once this season. Burnley is a difficult away game next and there is plenty to play for, both for us and Liverpool.
