the league was Joe Mercer in 1970 (won five in total).Mersons predictions Manuel
Pellegrini shares his thoughts on their tough draw against PSG in the last eight
of the Champions League Manchester City have to win this game! Its all becoming
very tight in the race for the top four and Manuel Pellegrinis men are really
struggling at the moment. The injuries to Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi
are a big blow, however, I see home advantage being key in this game. Manchester
United also have injury problems and a tough game against Liverpool wont help
their chances. I see City just edging this one 2-1.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bets
odds: 15/2)BettingCity are odds-on with Sky Bet to win the Manchester derby with
United 16/5. The sides shared a goalless draw at Old Trafford earlier this
season and another draw on Super Sunday is a 5/2 shot. City have had the better
of United at home recently winning three of the last four league meetings, two
of those finished 1-0 a 6/1 shot with Sky Bet.

game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count?

1-1 draw at Manchester United moved them to within two points of the Premier

victory would seal an unprecedented maiden top-flight crown, but they had to
withstand an early onslaught from the hosts, who were looking to strengthen
their bid for Champions League qualification.Anthony Martial established Uniteds
dominance on eight minutes, stroking Antonio Valencias cross beyond Kasper
Schmeichel, but - as they have done so often throughout their remarkable
campaign - Leicester hauled themselves back into the game through captain Wes
Morgan. The result means Leicester will be crowned champions if second-placed
Tottenham fail to win at Chelsea on Monday Night Football, and Souness was left
to praise a performance he felt typified the Foxes season.Its incredibly hard to
be anything other than utterly complimentary about this team, Souness told Super
Sunday. How many Leicester players at the end of last season were negotiating
clauses in their contracts in case they qualified for the Champions League, or
won the Premier League? None of them!Their bonus would have been for avoiding
relegation. Its really hard not to be totally in awe of this team. Morgan
admitted Leicester had to work very hard for a point It was a typical Leicester
performance today.
