Manchester City have been confirmed as Champions of the Premier League for the third successive season after another strong finish.

An enormous part of the success this season has been the impact of new signing Erling Haaland.
City are top of the goalscoring charts again with 92 to date – 36 of these coming from Haaland who broke the Premier League record for goals in a single campaign.
It is also the fifth title in six seasons for the team who are also chasing the Treble after reaching the finals of the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League this term.
And speaking of trebles, City have also landed the PL2 and Under-18 Premier League titles again this season and for the third successive year.
Club captain Ilkay Gundogan will lift the trophy in front of a full house at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday evening as City are crowned English champions for a ninth time.
City in the Community ambassador and former club goalkeeper Alex Williams will present the trophy to celebrate his 33 years of service to the Club ahead of his retirement this summer.
Manchester City captain Gundogan said:
“To have helped the Club win a third straight Premier League title is something very special.
“The Premier League is without doubt the most demanding and competitive league in the world so that tells you everything about what an achievement this is.
“This squad is so talented and so special and to have been captain this season has been an enormous privilege.
“I would also like to thank Pep, all the backroom staff and everyone who works across this football club.
“Every single day they help provide us as players with everything we need in order to try to be successful.
“There is no way we could have won this title without all their support.
“To have won this trophy three times in a row and five times in six years is incredible.
“That quality and consistency helps sum up what Manchester City stand for and ensures the Club will continue to strive for success going forward.
“It has been a season I will never forget.
“Our amazing fans have been with us every single step of the way.
“Without their amazing backing I don’t think there is any way we would have been able to achieve what we have done these past six seasons.
“Their passion and support have been so important and inspirational for us all.
“Hopefully winning the Premier League title again is a fitting way for us to say thank you to our fans.”
