Manchester City were on the brink of clinching the Premier League title after a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, while Chelsea maintained their hold on fourth place after beating Fulham by the same scoreline. If United avoid defeat, City can seal the title with a victory against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium next Saturday. City, who surrendered the title to Liverpool last season, overcame a mediocre first half with two goals in 84 seconds. That was enough to seal an 11th successive away victory in the Premier League, equalling the English top-flight record. Brighton, however, all but assured themselves of Premier League survival with a 2-0 win at home to Leeds.
