Manchester City fixtures: Next six games after comfortable West Ham win
Victory over Arsenal in what many dubbed as a title-decider has left Manchester City firmly in pole position to win their third-straight Premier League crown.
Pep Guardiola's side are on course to secure a historic treble, with his current Citizens playing at level we so often see from his sky-blue juggernaut at this stage of the season.
After seeng Arsenal beat Chelsea on Tuesday to reclaim top spot, City went back into first place on Wednesday with their 3-0 win over West Ham.
Fixture congestion means City still have at least eight games to play this term, and here's what their next six look like after beating the Hammers.
Manchester City vs Leeds - Premier League
The man, the myth, the Big Sam. He's back, folks, and he's ready to f**k up Man City's title bid for the sake of Leeds' Premier League survival hopes.
Sam Allardyce has his work cut out if he's to keep the West Yorkshire outfit up given their tough end to the season, and absolutely nobody expects them to snatch anything from the Etihad, where City have lost just once all campaign.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City - Champions League semi-final first leg
While securing another Premier League crown would be cool, Guardiola's stint at the helm will feel incomplete if City fail to win the Champions League.
They were stunned at the semi-final stage by late goals from miracle workers Real Madrid last season, and they'll meet again in the last four in 2023.
On this occasion, though, the first leg will be played at the Bernabeu; the stage for Real's dramatic late turnaround in 2022.

Everton vs Manchester City - Premier League
A trip to Goodison Park is sandwiched in between the two semi-final legs against Real.
This contest is more of an inconvenience for City, but it's nonetheless significant for their title hopes. While Everton have often looked incompetent this season, the return of Dominic Calvert-Lewin aids Sean Dyche massively and the Goodison Park faithful will be desperate to steer their side to safety.
The Toffees haven't been relegated from the top-flight since 1951.

Manchester City vs Real Madrid - Champions League semi-final second leg
Hosting the second leg will surely play into City's hands. The Etihad has evolved into quite the cauldron on such huge European nights in recent times, and Guardiola's side have beaten Los Blancos in their last two meetings on home soil.
This contest is bound to go down to the fire with City favoured.
A place in the Champions League final against one of the Milan clubs is at stake.

Manchester City vs Chelsea - Premier League
Frank Lampard's Chelsea may well be the worst side in the Premier League right now. So, what initially looked like a fairly tricky fixture during City's run-in has perhaps become their easiest.
The Blues are so structurally inept and desperately lacking in cohesion that it's hard to envisage them giving anybody a game. When it's all said and done, this Chelsea team will go down as the worst-performing of the Premier League era.

Brighton vs Manchester City - Premier League
On the contrary, this rearranged bout is probably now the most difficult of City's remaining Premier League games. Although, they do later visit Brentford on the final day which also certainly won't be a walk in the park.
Brighton will likely have a spot in Europe to play for, and Roberto De Zerbi will be desperate to get one over his primary ideological influence when his Seagulls outfit host City in their penultimate game of the season.
