City are currently goalless away at Reading, but there's drama at Chelsea as United have twice gone ahead and currently lead 2-1. The Blues started today two points ahead of United, with superior goal difference, so simply have to match United's result at Chelsea - who must win to be Champions. But it should be remembered that when that huge disappointment happened, the Blues were two points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand and faced a game against Spurs, again, a few days later.

Pep Guardiola's side are looking to bounce back from the crushing Champions League semi-final defeat to Real Madrid midweek.

Newcastle United have taken only two points here in 16 previous visits, but can they throw a spanner in the works today? Dubravka never troubled in the visitors’ goal.

Hair of the dog. More hair of the dog. But it may well stiffen their domestic resolve, as it did three years ago when they recovered from a traumatic Champions League defeat to Spurs to win their last five league games and hold off a rampant Liverpool. The pressure’s on us today as well – we’ve got high expectations of ourselves and we want to come here and give a good performance. De Bruyne, on the left, produces a lovely left-footed cross to find Cancelo in space at the far post. Four FPL-busting changes for City from the Bernabeu nightmare. In fact, as I type, a little box on Sky Sports tell us that Newcastle have had 57 per cent of the possession so far. 34 min City open Newcastle up with a beautiful passing move on the left. I miss the simplicity of the old days, when Smirnoff and Campari hoardings sat side by side with an understated dignity. 32 min De Bruyne, in the inside-right channel, lifts an unbelievable cross/pass over Lascelles to find Jesus at the far post. Last year City won the league and made it to the European final, losing 1-0 to another extremely strong team (and w his best player leaving injured. 46 min City begin the second half.

Sterling plays in his teammate to draw a sharp save from Dubravka at his near post. Ederson then nearly made a complete hash of the resulting free-kick. Guardiola flaps his arms in a sort of Big Bird impression. Dias lumps a ball in Sterling's general direction and Newcastle come away with it. Anyway, despite those desperate odds, he City midfielder gamely keeps up with the flying winger, who runs out of pitch and falls over.

That goal means that City are now ahead of Liverpool in terms of goal difference - could that prove crucial come 22 May?

Kieran Trippier, Callum Wilson and Fabian Schar are on the bench after recent injuries. Luckily, for City, the attempt is straight at Ederson in the hosts' goal. They look composed with the ball and organised without it. Here's a stat - Newcastle have enjoyed 57 per cent possession to City's 43 per cent.

Gary Neville, on Sky Sports comms, makes the point that the £100 million man will learn he has to be in those positions next year, in much the way that Sterling has. Grealish isn't there and Newcastle breathe a sigh of relief.

Opportunity knocks in the title race for Pep Guardiola's side this afternoon as they look to bounce back quickly from their Champions League exit.

And the brutal truth is, City do not belong in that company. Manchester City have been offered the chance to sign Manchester United star Paul Pogba in a sensational deal this summer, according to reports.
