David Silva scored twice as Manchester City moved another step closer to the Premier League title with a 2-0 win at Stoke.
The Spain international expertly converted Raheem Sterling's 10th-minute cross before getting on the end of Gabriel Jesus' lofted pass to make it 2-0 early in the second half
The result leaves City needing only a maximum of three wins from eight remaining games to take the title, but two would suffice if one of them comes against second-placed Manchester United.
That means there is a possibility City could complete the job in the derby against rivals United on April 7, if they beat Everton in their next game on March 31.
