Man City are on the verge of a fourth successive Premier League title.

This, after they defeated Tottenham 2-0 this morning…to open up a two point lead over Arsenal at the top of the standings.

Pep Guardiola’s side now need to beat West Ham in their final game of the season this weekend, to guarantee them the trophy.

Meanwhile, Spurs’ loss this morning means they will finish the season no higher than fifth.

It ensures that fourth placed Aston Villa have secured a spot in next season’s Champions League.

This will be the first time in 41 years that Villa will be playing top tier European football.
