Man City told which 'problem' game could see them let Premier League title slip

Manchester City know that if they win their final five Premier League games, they will be champions for the fourth time in five years.

The race for the crown is going down to the wire with any slip-ups potentially handing the title to their rivals. Some argue Liverpool have a tougher run-in with Newcastle, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Southampton and Wolves to play.

City, meanwhile, also face Newcastle, Wolves and Villa, as well as Leeds and West Ham. Pep Guardiola says his club cannot afford to drop any points going into the final few weeks of the campaign.

Former defender Danny Mills says he doesn’t think City will, although pointed to one game that may potentially be a stumbling block for the defending champions. When asked whether he thinks City will slip up during the run-in, told MEN Sport (via FreeSuperTips ): “Not for Manchester City.

“They are just a relentless team and they can score in so many different ways which we saw against Real Madrid.” He added: “They've got exceptional talent all over the pitch and if you look at their fixtures there's only West Ham who could be a problem.

“But you would think that West Ham will be looking at their own European ambitions so they could rest one or two. Even still, I don't see any massive issues.”

Two of Mills’ former clubs clash on Saturday when City travel to Leeds. He said that, while the league leaders may find it a stern test, they should have enough quality to see them secure all three points.

“Leeds at the weekend will not be easy, but they'll rotate their squad and probably have too much," he said. "There's no reason why Manchester City shouldn't win every game until now and the end of the season.”
