READ: Etihad, the Blues Fortress
Let's start with Sky Sports Experts Matt Le Tissier, Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson predict match-by-match results to determine who will be the Premier League champions.
The verdict of Thompson, mad Liverpool, will not surprise Blues – and he is entitled to his opinion – but the more impartial Matt Le Tissier and Charlie Nicholas have allowed football regulars Saturday to win 2 to 1 on City .
Here's how the ex-star of the Saints 'Le Tiss' sees it …
Manchester City
• Fulham 0-3 Man City (Live at Sky Sports Premier League)
• Man City 4-0 Cardiff (live on Sky Sports Premier League)
• Crystal Palace 0-2 Man City (Live at Sky Sports Premier League)
• Man City 3-1 Tottenham (live on Sky Sports Premier League)
• Man Utd 1-1 Man City (Live at Sky Sports Premier League)
• Burnley 0-1 Man City (Live at Sky Sports Premier League)
• Man City 3-1 Leicester
• Brighton 0-2 Man City
Le Tissier: "I think that United will do everything in their power to prevent City from winning, even if it gives Liverpool an advantage. I think for me it is the trickiest trick of City and that it is most likely to lose points.
"Burnley will be tough but they will do the job. I'm waiting for City to win the title and I think there will be a draw for each team by the end of the season. "
The Tiss then predicts the Liverpool scores …
The Liverpool run-in
• Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham (live on Sky Sports Premier League)
• Southampton 2-2 Liverpool (Live on Sky Sports Premier League)
• Liverpool 3-1 Chelsea (Live on Sky Sports Premier League)
• Cardiff 0-3 Liverpool (Live on Sky Sports Premier League)
• Liverpool 4-0 Huddersfield (Live on Sky Sports Premier League)
• Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool
• Liverpool 2-0 Wolves
He adds: "Liverpool catches the Spurs at the right time and I expect Liverpool to win. I think the Saints game is a game in Liverpool, and it's not on my side. The win against the Spurs will give them a huge comeback and the way Ralph Hasenhuttl made them play is great.

Get with the program !: Although the current program of the return matches of City remains a competitive price for many years, there was a time when it cost only 2 pence!
"They took Man United to Old Trafford and beat Arsenal and Spurs at home. They are raising their game. Chelsea is losing momentum and Liverpool will be too strong in this area. "
The final table of Matt Le Tissier
Pos Team Goal difference Points
1 Man City 74 96
2 Liverpool 65 95
Skip, and Sports witness have a nice feature on Fernandinho.
CLASS ACT: But will Ferna decide to continue with Brazil?
At 33, the city's international midfield career seemed to have come to an end as he had not been selected for nearly a year.
However, it seems that Brazil still has plans for the best anchor in the world at the moment.
"Edu Gaspar, the former Arsenal midfielder, coordinator of the Brazilian national team, gave ESPN Brasil an interview for more than an hour and explained how he handled Fernandinho's situation.
"Technically speaking, Fernandinho plays very well first. Not a bit good, "Edu Gaspar told ESPN Brasil.
"He has a personal level of another level. Group athlete. An athlete … even if he was on the bench, like at the World Cup, it's a guy who shoots, who brings in the guys, who says 'let's go', who is integrated, a willing guy, a guy who lends us a lot.
"So, what happened at the World Cup, we do not think it's right for him. So that we did not call him, not us, Titus did not call him right after the end of the World Cup, mainly to preserve him. Understand to be important for him to breathe a little and understand how he was.
"We went to Manchester to talk to him. We left Brazil, went to Manchester to talk to Fernandinho. To understand how he was, understand that he was an important athlete for us.
"So, we are investing our time in understanding that he is an extremely important guy for us. I do not know for how long, even because of age. But in the short or medium term, we consider Fernando to be very important to us. "
Ferna is still recovering, so the national team will have to wait at least summer …
BLUEBIRDS CLASH: Sergio Aguero celebrates City's first goal away from Cardiff
The city discovered yesterday that our match against Cardiff was postponed to 72 hours Wednesday, April 3.
The impact is that Sky will now cover the game and Spurs, which hosts Crystal Palace the same night, will no longer be broadcast live.
The Daily Express The Spurs fans are not happy when they write: "Tottenham fans have been furious after discovering that their first match in their new stadium would NOT be televised.
"The Spurs will host Crystal Palace on April 3 during the first field match of a capacity of 62,000 people.
"But the confrontation between Manchester City and Cardiff was moved in the same night after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals and this will be shown by Sky Sports instead.
"Sky has announced the televised meetings months before Tottenham confirms its moving date and will broadcast the opening ceremony on television."
Ironically, the Spurs will not have to wait too long for this first televised match: the first leg of the quarter-final of the Blues Champions League will be broadcast live on BT Sport a week later.
Return to Sky Sports' focus on potential candidates for the AFP Player of the Year and their verdict on Raheem Sterling.
CONTENDER: Raheem was sensational ….
They report, "Sterling's performance is even more impressive if we consider what he has had to endure this season. He had been the victim of racist abuse during City's 2-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in December, but his response, on and off the field, could not have been more impressive.
"What do the statistics say? With 15 goals and nine badists, Sterling is at the top of the Premier League standings for goal scoring this season. The only other players of the same level are City teammate Sergio Aguero, Mohamed Salah of Liverpool and Eden Hazard of Chelsea.
Sterling has a combined total of 24 goals and badists
"A closer look at the numbers underscores its effectiveness even more. Sterling ranks among the top five players in the Premier League this season for his successful dribbling (68), his chances created by an open play (55) and his hits in the opponent's area (236).
"He even became more efficient in possession of the ball, with an accuracy of 86.1%, his record in four seasons at City."
Like Sergio yesterday, Raheem must surely be in the mix?
Finally, before tonight's Germany match, Leroy Sane revealed "Pep's effect" in his career in England.
The mail "The winger is at camp with Germany before his friendly against Serbia on Wednesday. The team Joachim Low is preparing to face the Netherlands Sunday in qualifying for the Euro 2020.
"Sane, 23, has become an outstanding talent for the club and the country. He believes that Guardiola has pushed his game to a higher level.
LIGHTNING LEROY: Leroy Sane scored his 50th goal in all senior club level competitions!
"He had a big influence on me," Sane said at a press conference Tuesday.
"Thanks to him, I have progressed a lot and I have reached this level. Also because of my great teammates.
"But he's always trying to improve every day. This is his main goal. We are still working on our weaknesses. '
And it's for us today!
Even more like tomorrow …
