PEP GUARDIOLA has said he could never support Manchester United.
But don't be surprised if there's a little bald Spanish fella sitting in disguise on the Stretford End today, wearing a Fred the Red tee-shirt and a knotted red and white scarf.
Two goals by Josko Gvardiol, a rare right-footer from Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez's injurytime penalty kept the champions in charge of their own destiny.
If they win at Spurs on Tuesday night and beat West Ham at the Etihad on Sunday then they will lift a record-breaking fourth successive title regardless of what chasing Arsenal can do at Old Trafford.
City now lead the table by two points with two games left to play. Making history appears to be a formality.
Guardiola, of course, is a controlfreak who likes to do things his own way.
But deep down he wouldn't mind the rivals from across town to defy logic by taking points off Mikel Arteta's men to make his task much easier - even though the Gunners' once superior goal difference is now down to just two.
