Manchester City overcame a huge hurdle in the Premier League title race on Sunday, clinching a last-gasp winner at Anfield to keep the league title race alive. League-leaders Arsenal hammered Sunderland on Saturday, to open a nine-point lead, so City desperately needed to respond with a win. The Citizens remain six points adrift in the battle for top spot, but they can cut that down to three points against a Fulham side that have suffered a few poor results of late and who Manchester City have beaten in the last their last 19 H2H's. By doing so, they will put the pressure back on Arsenal, who travel to Brentford on Thursday.

Michael Carrick has said that, "do it for Frank” is unlikely to form part of his team talk as United head to West Ham this evening. But perhaps it should- as no one should be embarrassed the club like this kid has, while professing to be a real United supporter.

It is clear that when fan Frank Ilett vowed not to cut his hair until his team had won five games in a row, he did not expect to be approaching 500 days without stepping into a barber’s, or for his look to have grown quite so ridiculous, or to have accumulated more social media followers than some Manchester United first-team players.

After four consecutive wins, though, he is extremely close to his self-inflicted ordeal finally being over. We know he's not a real fan and wants this to carry on forever, however, all real United fans are praying we get it done today, so that he can piss back into obscurity.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) delivers his Champions 6-Pack, giving you his best bets from his six selected Champions League key games for Matchday 6, including Newcastle's trip to Paris. Last Tuesday’s shock 2-1 loss to Champions League rivals Sporting means trophy-holders Paris Saint-Germain come into their final league-phase game in a precarious position. A win in Lisbon would have left the Parisians three points clear of the chasing pack but instead they start the final week level on 13 points with seven other teams, including Newcastle.

Billi looks back at last weekend's incredible win the Manchester Derby, before looking ahead to this afternoon's trip to leaders Arsenal. Despite their troubles this season, the Mancunians have only lost one of their last ten league matches. They were narrowly beaten in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in August, and before that they had avoided defeat in two meetings with Arsenal.
