Vincent Kompany is relishing the prospect of Manchester City having the chance to win the Premier League title by beating fierce rivals Manchester United next weekend.

City are just one win away from securing the Premier League title after a 3-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park.

Manager Pep Guardiola now has the delicious prospect of lifting his first championship since arriving in England almost two years ago in front of City's own fans against neighbours United next weekend.

Goals from Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling - Yannick Bolasie responding for the hosts - set up the chance for City to become the quickest side to clinch the Premier League with six matches remaining as a win next week will beat United's 2000-01 record by one game.

Following the Goodison Park win, Kompany told BT Sport: "It’s steady but we have a big game midweek and then we have to deal with Manchester United on Saturday.

"We’ll take it game by game but we have done very well so far.

"It would mean the world to our fans. I have lived in Manchester long enough to know what it means.

"It will be lively and spicy but I don’t mind. Manchester United have seven days to prepare, but we need momentum so we need a good Champions League game."
