Manchester City are set to give Manuel Pellegrini the perfect send-off by winning a third Premier League title - according to Football Manager.

The computer game has simulated the rest of the Premier League season to see what will happen - and it has the Chilean's Blues top of the pile after 38 games.

Victory on the penultimate fixture of the season over Arsenal turns out to be the knockout blow, with Sergio Aguero netting another seven goals between now and the end of the season.

The Gunners finish second in front of current table-toppers Leicester, whose fairytale season ends with a Champions League spot in third place.

Jamie Vardy hits another eight goals before the season is out, keeping the Foxes in touch with the top before defeats against Sunderland, West Ham and Swansea kill their title charge.
