Manchester City has historically finished their seasons strongly and have continued this trend by remaining unbeaten this calendar year. Despite a recent draw with Arsenal, City has been steadily improving game by game, with many feeling that they are becoming an ominous threat to their competitors. Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville pointed out a key moment in City’s season when Oscar Bobb scored a late goal against Newcastle in January, indicating when he felt they became a formidable force.

If Manchester City manages to secure a fourth straight Premier League title, it is likely to be a closely contested victory. Key moments in their season, such as Bobb’s goal against Newcastle, have been crucial in their success so far.

The feeling that City is on a special run and their ability to continue improving game by game adds to the expectation that they will dominate and secure three points in every match. As the season progresses, City’s form and strong performances have solidified their reputation as a formidable and potentially unstoppable force in the Premier League.
