Manchester City are bookies’ favorites to win both the Premier League title and Champions League this season; but can they go one further and become the first English club ever to complete a domestic treble?
City could potentially achieve such an astonishing achievement this season! Achieve three trophies within one season is no small task, yet is achievable through their incredible talent and hard work.
Premier League
Manchester City are favorites to win the Premier League crown again this season, given their points advantage over Liverpool and recent history of crown victories – an odds price best at 1/2.
However, there are reasons to be wary of their chances this season. First and foremost is Pep Guardiola’s track record: while leading in any Premier League season under him, City have never dropped points while leading.
They’ve gone an impressive 23 games without conceding any points while leading. Furthermore, they remain the only Premier League side to have won every single match while leading.
No other English club has ever achieved such an achievement; not Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham have ever achieved such an achievement.
Champions League
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola have made an impressive start to this year, making them one of the odds-on favorites to lift the Champions League trophy this time around. At +175 they could challenge Real Madrid for supremacy as their chances become increasingly limited.
Guardiola has no problem producing top performances from his talented squad; among them summer recruit Erling Haaland has already notched 11 Premier League goals so far and will likely play an integral part in City’s campaign this season.
Additionally, they have enough depth in both centre-back and full-back positions to deliver consistent defensive performances, which gives them an edge when competing with bigger teams in the competition.
Quadruple English trophy wins may seem an impossible goal to attain, yet with Champions League and FA Cup still up for grabs it appears possible for any English club. Doing so would mark an amazing feat and bring great reward to their supporters alike.

FA Cup
Manchester City are poised to make history by becoming the first team ever to win all three of these competitions in one season – something no English side has accomplished since 1991 and only seven other European clubs (such as Barcelona) have done before them.
As the Premier League race closes down to a final day showdown, Manchester City are determined to complete an unimaginable quadruple treble. They lead the Premier League table and sit in final of League Cup against Chelsea; face Newport County from League Two this weekend for fifth round FA Cup match-up; while also taking on Schalke 04 in Champions League last 16 match.
City has odds of 15/8 to win the FA Cup while drawing is 7/4, so this match must be won to remain viable in their hopes. In recent times, City has held up well against Wigan having won both encounters between them.
EFL Cup
Even though Manchester City were eliminated from the Champions League in dramatic fashion by Paris Saint-Germain, they still stand a chance at sweeping all three major trophies this season – something unprecedented in Premier League history if successful!
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City face their next test in the EFL Cup against Southampton and can make strides toward becoming the first team ever to complete a Quadruple by beating Nathan Jones’ side. Manchester City have won this cup four times already over the past eight years and can add another victory against Southampton – they already boast four titles to their name already!
This match should provide fans at the Etihad Stadium a treat, with victory taking City back to Wembley twice in six days and keeping alive their chances of securing another Treble this season.
Chelsea and Manchester City meet for the first time since their 3-1 win at Wembley back in January. Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne each scored for City, while Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, and Ilkay Gundogan scored as well.
