It is the Citizens again. This time against Liverpool. It was the beginning of the Manuel Pelligrini helm at the club. Liverpool had even beaten City 3-2 with only 6 games left to play. But Pelligrini’s boys drew against Sunderland before winning their last 5 games of the season to overturn the deficit and take a second title in 3 seasons, 2 points ahead of Liverpool.

In a three-way race to the title, City's hopes suffered a big blow when they lost an away game to Liverpool before drawing the game against Sunderland at home. Only 5 games remained after that and the title race was wide open, with Liverpool and Chelsea breathing down each other's neck.

City went on to win all those 5 games, but the vital victory came against Everton in an away game. It was their 36th fixture of the season and City squeezed out a memorable 3-2 win to keep their hopes intact. In the end, City had 86 points, Liverpool had 84 and Chelsea finished with 82.
