MANCHESTER CITY are once again on the hunt for another historic Treble following their success last year.
However, progression into the FA Cup and Champions League semi-finals could have a big impact on their Premier League title hopes.
That is because Man City’s league clash with Tottenham may have to be rearranged to the final week of the season.
The Athletic explained a Man City win over Newcastle later today will see the Spurs match pencilled in for April 20 rearranged.

One fan said: “Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when City go 5-0 up with 5 Spurs own goals to beat Arsenal to the title,” with a video of fans celebrating by locking arms and jumping up and down.
