Everything is back on track for Manchester City.

After surviving a grueling, difficult game at home against Tottenham Hotspur on the weekend, Manchester City were able to go to Old Trafford and defeat Manchester United on Wednesday night 2-0.

Though the first half was poor, City came out in the second half and dominated the game. Manchester United struggled to get a touch of the ball or create a clear cut chance. Conversely, City were clinical on the counter attack, scoring two goals in transition. It wasn’t their best performance of the season, but it got the job done.

After that win, Manchester City now enter the final three fixtures of the Premier League season on 89 points, one point ahead of Liverpool. Though the title has technically been in City’s control since Liverpool drew at Everton on March 3rd, only now does it truly feel like it’s their title to lose.

Let’s take a look at what Manchester City have done, what they and Liverpool have remaining of their season, and why Manchester City should win the Premier League Title from here.
