It’s the VMC weekly Race Four Fourth update and as City fans re-focus after derby defeat, we see Spurs back in the driving seat and Liverpool and Villa gaining ground…

What a see-saw ding-dong battle this is proving to be!

The fact is that if either City or Spurs can consistently get their form together now, they will join that Holy Grail of the European elite next season. Win your remaining fixtures and you will be there and that’s definitive for The Blues and The Whites.

Spurs are surely this week’s favourites having seen off Arsenal and Chelsea in fine style.

Many people at SportCity maintain that City’s clash with Spurs at Eastlands next month will be the fourth place decider, but that will not be the case if The Blues fail to bank points elsewhere. That chastening defeat to the rags has proved a real shot across the bows of Roberto Mancini’s previously resurgent ship.

Liverpool and Villa both posted wins that saw them close in on City. Villa travel to Hull tonight in a bid to overtake Liverpool and move within a point of City.

The efforts of Villa, Spurs and City have all helped contribute to making this the most exciting Premier League in many years.
