Title Slipping Away

After 37 games of grueling Premier League action, the season comes to its conclusion this weekend with Manchester City in the driving seat to claim victory.

After the 1-0 derby win for City followed by a vital 2-0 defeat of Newcastle, City have 2 hands on the trophy going into their final home game of the season at relegation-threatened QPR. On the other hand, United travel to Sunderland knowing City must drop points for them to have any realistic hopes of lifting their 20th league title.

However, hopes are very slim, with United's arch rivals being so strong at the Etihad all season, and QPR being so poor away from Loftus Road. It seems that the reigning Champions have thrown it away, and will have to accept defeat to their blue half of the city.

There are key moments throughout the season that have cost the Reds, none more so than the 4-4 draw against Everton, when 3 points were seemingly in the bag at 4-2 with 10 minutes to play, but with the campaign having multiple twists and turns already, maybe there is one last surprise before the season's out.
