Goals from Rodri (14) and Julian Alvare (61) as they defeated Sheffield United 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium to push for the numero uno spot in the English Premier League on Saturday. With Liverpool and Arsenal playing on Sunday, the Cityzens required a victory to keep the pressure also on the likes of Aston Villa, who later clinched a 3-2 win over Burnley. With this win, the reigning champions moved to third in the table but could fall down if Arsenal and Liverpool win on Sunday.
