Manchester City: 3 reasons why the Sky Blues can win the quadruple this season 

As we are entering the business end of the current season, we are getting a much clearer idea of teams and their positions in various competitions. Looking at Manchester City, they are the team chasing history with each victory. Manchester City's dominance is seemingly unprecedented, more so, in the second half of the season. The relentless and consistent majestic performances portray that the improbable quest of a quadruple is within their reach.

The Sky blues looks unstoppable. Pep Guardiola's men have already won the Carabao Cup and remain at the top of the Premier League table with 80 points after 32 games. City have scored more than any other team in the league and conceded more goals than only Liverpool in the top ten teams, which really depicts their dominance.

They are in the Semi-finals of FA Cup where they face Brighton this weekend and are through to the Quarter Finals of the Champions League. No English team has had the quality to match the famous Manchester United side which won the treble in 1999 but City's staggering exploits makes the historic feat look achievable.

Without further ado, let us take a look at three reasons why Manchester City can win the quadruple at the end of this season:

---

#1 Presence of numerous match-winners

The Citizens have world-class superstars who can decide the fate of games

There remains little doubt over the fact that Pep Guardiola has a high-quality squad in his hands. There are a plethora of stars who are proving themselves to be match winners in almost every week since the start of the campaign.

City won the Premier League title with a huge lead last season and Kevin De Bruyne was arguably their best player. The Belgian midfielder has been barely missed this term because players like Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Sergio Aguero are constantly destroying defenses within the blink of an eye.

All the four mentioned players are enjoying one of the best seasons of their careers and they have managed to step up and prove themselves as match-winners on a consistent basis. Same goes for players like Aymeric Laporte, Kyle Walker, Fernandinho and David Silva, who display their caliber in times of need.

#2 In-Sync team with huge a squad depth

One of the strongest squads in Europe right now

Simply put, Manchester City's squad depth is better than almost every team, not just in England but also in Europe. Pep Guardiola's side boasts at least two world-class players and talents in every position, except the defensive midfield position which is occupied by Fernandinho.

For instance, City's rearguard and midfield had the perfect blend of youth and experience. The presence of veteran players like Kompany, Otamendi, Kyle Walker, David Silva along with Sterling, Sane, Bernardo Silva, Laporte, Stones, Mendy, Mahrez, Jesus, Foden, Zinchenko and others make their ammunition far better than any other team in England.

Moreover, under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, the City squad looks always in sync, even when the young guns feature. The players exactly know when and where to release the ball and pick their teammates more often than not. Pep Guardiola is obviously a master tactician and his substitutions pay off more often than not as almost all the players know their respective roles well.

The rare combination of unity on the pitch and huge depth makes them the side to defeat, both in England and in Europe.

#3 Lesser Competition

There are only a few matches left and man big teams are out of contention

Manchester City's path to the historic feat is clear now. Despite the fact that there is no room for error, their road towards the trophies looks a bit easier. Pep Guardiola's men will face Brighton in the FA Cup and Tottenham in the Champions League to reach the next rounds amidst Premier League fixtures.

In the FA Cup, the top six teams are already out. Brighton are 15th in the Premier League, just five points above from the relegation zone. Unless an upset takes place, City will face Watford or Wolves in the Cup final.

Meanwhile, City will face known rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the quarterfinals of the Champions League before facing Juventus or Ajax in the semifinals. European heavyweights like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG are all out of the competition and that makes the Champions League more open than the last few years. Should they progress, City will face one among Barcelona, United, Liverpool or Porto in the Final.

The only big obstacle in City's path is the three fixtures against Tottenham in the span of eleven days before they face Manchester United in the Premier League. The hefty Premier League fixtures will obviously be tricky and test the mantle of Pep Guardiola's men in these stages of the campaign.
