Everyone knows by now Pep Guardiola's side can win the title by beating hated neighbours Manchester United next weekend... which would offer the ultimate in bragging rights. But it gets better for City, because winning next weekend would also nab one of the most impressive of all the Premier League records from the Old Trafford giants. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, the Reds Devils set the earliest ever date for a top-flight title win in the Premier League era, when they became champions in 2001, on April 14 — with five games to spare. City – who are on 27 already - could easily pass that mark, and they need 16 more goals in their remaining seven games to pass Chelsea's record from 2009-10 of 103 goals, the most in a Premier League season.
