If Carlsberg did Saturday afternoon results then today was their day.

Of the eight teams below City 7 of them failed to win. And the 8th, Coventry, didn't play.

City can open up a five point gap over 7th place if they beat Watford on Sunday and still have a game in hand.

If there was ever a chance to grasp the nettle then it's now.
