Manchester City won their seventh English Premier League title in franchise history on Tuesday. They were able to clinch top spot when Leicester City defeated Manchester United 2-1.

Despite the marvelous record and the fact they have 80 points in the standings, Manchester City has lost two of their last five games. They were upset by Leeds United 2-1 on April 10, and then beaten 2-1 by Chelsea in their last game on Saturday.

Even though Manchester City had a lot of team success in 2020-21, they only have one player in the top 10 when it comes to goal scorers. Midfielder Ilkay Gundogan of Gelsenkirchen, Germany is tied for 10th in the league with 12 goals.

Fellow Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne of Drongen, Belgium is second in assists with 11. He only trails English National Team striker Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur, who leads the English Premier League with 13 helpers.

At the end of the day, the major reason why Manchester City are the English Premier League champions in 2020-21 comes down to goalkeeping. Netminder Ederson of Osasco, Brazil leads the EPL with 18 clean sheets.

Manchester City previously won the English Premier League in 1937, 1968, 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2019.

Then on May 29, Manchester City will play EPL rival Chelsea for the Champions League title.
