5 bold Premier League predictions: Manchester City win the title

Matchweek 33 of the Premier League is almost upon us and Manchester City can win the title this weekend. Here are 5 bold predictions for all the action.

Premier League matchweek 33 begins with Liverpool traveling to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Merseyside derby, before Manchester City host Manchester United knowing a win will crown them Premier League champions. On Sunday, Arsenal host Southampton and Chelsea face a tough test when they host West Ham at Stamford Bridge.

1. City beat United to win the Premier League title

There’s no doubt this weekend’s biggest game is the Manchester derby, which presents Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side with their first chance to win the Premier League title.

City have been quite remarkable this season. The fact they can win the title on April 7 how relentless their form has been. While it’s only a matter of time before the Citizens lift the trophy, United will be desperate ensure it isn’t made official at their expense.

Jose Mourinho could have a chance after City’s poor display in their midweek Champions League match with Liverpool, which saw them lose 3-0 without registering a shot on target at Anfield. Whether that disappointment helps or hurts on Saturday remains to be seen.

However, given they haven’t lost consecutive games all season, the signs point to a bounce-back performance from Guardiola’s side, at least as long as the Spaniard picks his best side rather than resting players for Tuesday’s second leg.

The Red Devils were outclassed in the first Manchester derby, and may set out to frustrate their rivals in this game. City are highly unlikely to not score two games running, and should have enough to beat United and clinch the title.
