"We are going to try and do it. Goals from Raheem Sterling (2), Aymeric Laporte, Rodrigo and Phil Foden inspired City back to the top of the Premier League table. (It was a) perfect afternoon. - City have scored five or more goals in the Premier League for the 30th time underPep Guardiola– more than Liverpool (14) and Spurs (13). - City became the only team in Europe’s big five leagues to have four or more different players reach 10 assists in all competitions this season with Joao Cancelo (10) joining Kevinde Bruyne(13), Phil Foden(11) and Jesus (11). "Three more points. - The reigning champions have scored 20 Premier League goals from set-pieces this season (excluding penalties), the most of any side. "I am very pleased. - City have lost just one of the past 29 league games against Newcastle (W24, D4). Rodrigo was on target and there were two goals in added time - but this time it was our Rodrigo and City scored the goals! That wasn’t the end of the end of the scoring, with the excellent Oleks Zinchenko laying on a fourth for Phil Foden to sweep home in the final minute to leave the Etihad jubilant. The bottom line is that the Blues need seven points from three games to guarantee a fourth Premier League title in five years.

The aim when we came in was to stay in the Premier League at all costs," Howe added. City doubled their lead on 38 minutes when Kevin de Bruyne's deep corner found Gundogan on the edge of the penalty area, who fired a shot at goal. It was important we win," Guardiola said.

Man City are on the cusp of back-to-back Premier League titles, yet their 2021-22 could be remembered just for spoiling Liverpool's quadruple quest.

"Hopefully we can arrive at the Aston Villa game on the final day of the season with the destiny of the Premier League in our hands. We have to do it." "With what this team have done, do you have any doubt?" "We are going to try to win there. "Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone," the City manager said. After Liverpool's draw with Tottenham Hotspur and City's 5-0 win over Newcastle United this weekend, Pep Guardiola's side need seven points from their last three games to win the title for the fourth time in the past five years.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are in the 13th spot with 43 points after 36 games. The English club had a 4-3 first-leg advantage. With the victory, leader Manchester City took advantage of Liverpool’s 1-1 stumble against Tottenham to increase their lead over the Reds to three points with three games to go.

Manchester City claimed a vital 5-0 victory against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon to return to the top of the Premier League.

Sterling broke the deadlock with a close-range header. Was there in the right place to grab City’s second and looked competent at the back for the Sky Blues too. His ball to Jesus alone was sensational after 31 minutes and he was unlucky not to get an assist for it. Although having an early miss, Cancelo did play a part in breaking the deadlock with a cushioned header across goal to set up Sterling for City’s opener. Did not have much to do today and went off at half-time with suggestions of a potential injury. City then attacked continuously until they broke the deadlock with a close-range header from Raheem Sterling after 20 minutes.

Liverpool face Aston Villa on Tuesday with City up against Wolverhampton Wanderers a day later. Rodri headed City’s third from a corner after the break and Foden swept in his side’s fourth before Sterling struck again in stoppage time as City took emphatic advantage of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur the previous day.

The City fans were able to bask in cries of "championees" for the final quarter and two more goals in stoppage time gave them the insurance of a goal difference cushion even if they are to drop points in the next fortnight. Liverpool remain in contention for a historic quadruple of trophies, but their 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham on Saturday opened the door for City to extend their lead at the top of the table. The Spanish giants came from two goals down in the dying stages to win a classic semi-final 6-5 on aggregate and set up a meeting with Liverpool in Paris.

It was close to perfect as Manchester City looked no worse for the wear in search of an eighth top-flight title following a shocking Champions League exit.

Manchester City are hosting Newcastle at the Etihad after having a great night of sleep. That's because of Liverpool's slippage against Tottenham on late ...

The last time the lads defeated Manchester City was back in Jan. 2019 when they dumped a couple on Guardiola’s side while only getting scored on one time themselves. Newcastle enters Sunday pretty much in the same vein they did last Saturday against Liverpool. There is nothing to lose today and they learned something against the Reds a week ago: get rich or die trying. This is clearly Manchester City’s toughest game of their remaining ones even though they will have some room for error after Liverpool's draw against Tottenham yesterday. City missed on winning a Premier League game for the last time on Feb. 19 when they fell 2-3 to Tottenham of all teams. The Citizens are playing for nothing more than the Premier League this season after getting eliminated by Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-finals and by Real Madrid last Wednesday in the UCL semi-finals stage too. That’s because of Liverpool's slippage against Tottenham on late Saturday, as the Reds couldn’t get more than one point from their home game against the Spurs. City is the obvious favorite to get the win here, but it wouldn’t be the first time they’d have lost points against a lesser side.

It was close to perfect as Manchester City looked no worse for the wear in search of an eighth top-flight title following a shocking Champions League exit.

A win or point against City would’ve sent another loud signal to the league post-takeover. City improves to 86 points, three more than second-place Liverpool. The reigning Premier League champions now hold a goal differential lead of four with three matches left for both teams. Rodri added a goal at the hour mark and Phil Foden in the 90th minute City as out-attempted Newcastle 21-7.

MANCHESTER (Reuters) – Manchester City lifted the gloom of their Champions League exit to seize control of the Premier League title race with a 5-0 hammering of Newcastle United and Everton took a big leap towards safety on Sunday.

Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker are out for the season at Manchester City. And Pep Guardiola's defensive problems do not end there.

It was therefore perhaps a touch surprising to see Egan-Riley preferred to the elegant and powerful 18-year-old. Mbete was also on the bench at the weekend and has been a fixture in first-team squads over the past 18 months. Guardiola broke into something of a giggle when asked how important Fernandinho will be over the remainder of the season. The pressure at Molineux and London Stadium will certainly be a few degrees higher. Alongside Laporte, full-backs Joao Cancelo and Oleksandr Zinchenko make up the trio of fit senior defenders Guardiola has at his disposal. “We have 13 [outfield] players and a half available for these three games, plus the academy.

Newcastle entered Sunday's match having won four of their previous five league contests, but the Magpies weren't able to muster much against a well-oiled City side still reeling from their Champions League exit a few days earlier. City hold a three-point lead over Liverpool with three matches remaining for both clubs. It was such a dominant display that fans at the Etihad Stadium spent much of the second half urging their side to press for more goals, but the team were content with their output until Foden and Sterling's stoppage-time strikes put an exclamation mark on the performance.

We had the first big chance of the game, unfortunately we did not take it." "Just before the start of game, I felt the crowd were disappointed but not grumpy and upset about who we are as a team. Guardiola confirmed after the game that Dias will miss the rest of the season through injury, with Kyle Walker and John Stones also unavailable for the remaining matches. When you consider all the ways they can score that is a no-no. That knowledge that City were no longer in a win or bust scenario took a little of the sting out of the fixture and gave them some freedom. If Rodri has to play [at centre-back he will]. We have the academy. Asked how important the veteran Brazilian will be, Guardiola said: "I would say a lot." We are going to try to win the game, playing our best, that is for sure." Asked on Friday afternoon, what response he expected from his players, Pep Guardiola told Sky Sports, "I think we are going to perform well. On reflection, Wood's headed chance after eight minutes was a key moment in the game. It was all that they needed.

The personality we showed today was unbelievable." "But football is like this, we have to wake up because you have to stay focused on the Premier League ... still we are in the fight. The Spaniard escaped his marker to head home De Bruyne's corner for his third league goal in as many games. After a tumultuous week, it was a "perfect afternoon" for Guardiola, whose faith in his team responding to midweek's defeat was never shaken. Despite the continued elusiveness of the Champions League, another league victory would mark a fourth in five years for the Citizens, and simultaneously end Liverpool's pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple.
