Man City can still win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this season. They are one game away from winning another league title and face Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday; Man City play Man Utd in the FA Cup final on June 3

Gary Neville hopes Manchester United can deny Manchester City the treble this season when they meet in the FA Cup final while Jamie Carragher does not see any problems for City after they play against "tough" Real Madrid.

Pep Guardiola's side can still win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this season and would be the first English team to win a treble since Manchester United in the 1998/99 season, when they also won the same set of competitions.Man City are one game away from winning another league title and can do so this weekend against Chelsea on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

But before that, they have to navigate the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday against Real Madrid, with the tie finely poised at 1-1.They will then face Manchester United in the FA Cup final on June 3 at Wembley, which could be the final piece of their treble puzzle.

On the latest Monday Night Football, Carragher and Neville reflected on Man City's bid for the treble, with the former not foreseeing any slips from Guardiola's side for the remainder of the season.

 

Carragher said: "It just feels like every game is so easy for them now.

"I thought Everton would be their hardest game because they were fighting for their lives, it's a hostile atmosphere and it came in between the Real Madrid games. I thought Guardiola might change a few more players but he didn't.

"Obviously, Real Madrid is a tough game, but they are a better team than Carlo Ancelotti's side. It's a case of whether it happens on the night for them but after that, I don't see a problem at all."

Neville is hoping his former Man Utd side can stop Man City from winning all three trophies, and says the city rivals will be disappointed if they do not complete the treble.

"It's all huge for Man City from now until the end of the season", Neville said.

"They will be disappointed if they don't win the treble because they will feel they are favourites in every single game, they are in great form, and everyone is buzzing."I am just happy that Manchester United have an opportunity to try and stop Man City [winning the treble]. That's what I wanted out of the FA Cup semi-final when United went to penalties against Brighton.

"The one thing I'd say about Wembley is, and City can defy logic when it comes to playing well, I think it is a hard stadium to play well on.

"Generally, most teams don't play as well at Wembley as they do their home ground and Manchester United have to hope that on that day somehow it is more difficult for City. I've never seen really amazing performance at Wembley that often for England or for any other team. It's tough.

"Man Utd will fight for their lives that day and you just never know."
