‘Machedaaaa’ – Manchester United (2008/09)
Every Manchester United fan will remember Federico Macheda’s stunning late strike against Aston Villa in April 2009.It ensured a 3-2 win for United and put them back to the top of the table just when Liverpool put the pressure on them.Sir Alex Ferguson’s side never looked back from then and every United fan had Macheda, who was 17 at the time, to thank.11Drogba clearly offside – Chelsea (2009/10)
However, there’s no doubt United were hard done by the following year when they were victims of a terrible call from the linesman in a home match against Chelsea, their main title rivals for that season.The Blues won 2-1 at Old Trafford, but their second goal was scored by Didier Drogba who was clearly offside.11United’s opponents bottle it – Manchester United (2010/11)
Manchester United’s triumph in 2010/11 was significant as it saw them win league title no.19 and overtake rivals Liverpool, who until then had won a record 18 league titles.They won it convincingly – by nine points in fact – but there were matches where United had absolutely no right to get points out of.11United let City back in – Manchester City (2011/12)
Manchester City’s 1-0 defeat at Arsenal in April 2012 left their title challenge seemingly in tatters as Roberto Mancini’s side were eight points behind Manchester United with six games left.However, in not very typical United fashion, City were given an unlikely route back in the race with the Red Devils losing at Wigan as well as a 4-4 draw at home to Everton.11Nasri lets City down – Manchester United (2012/13)
However, United won the Premier League the following season in devastating fashion, wrapping up league title no.20 with four games to spare!But the real turning point of the season came after they beat local rivals and holders Manchester City 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium in December 2012 with Robin van Persie’s stoppage-time free-kick the decisive goal.United had Samir Nasri to thank for that, with the ex-City man hiding behind team-mates in the wall during Van Persie’s free-kick.11LIVE ON talkSPORT

Gerrard slip – Manchester City (2013/14)
Steven Gerrard’s catastrophic slip is something that still haunts Liverpool fans to this day as it changed the course of the 2013/14 Premier League title race.The Liverpool legend’s slip allowed Demba Ba to give Chelsea the lead at Anfield in a game where the Blues won 2-0 and handed the initiative back to Manchester City.11Blues get the breaks – Chelsea (2014/15)
Chelsea were the champions after that in Jose Mourinho’s second season of his second spell in charge of the club and were deserving winners.That doesn’t mean they didn’t get a bit of luck along the way, though, including during a 1-0 win at lowly QPR with an 88th-minute Cesc Fabregas strike coming from Chelsea’s first shot on target in the game.The goal was incredibly soft, too, as it came from Eden Hazard seizing on a awfully sliced kick from Rob Green before Fabregas struck the ball home.11Big Six blow it – Leicester City (2015/16)
Let’s get one thing straight – Leicester City winning the Premier League in 2015/16 was truly spectacular, even if they only finished on 84 points!However, they were fortunate in the sense that all of the big clubs had poor seasons by their high standards including Chelsea, who defended their title by finishing tenth.11Dreadful De Bruyne miss – Chelsea (2016/17)
Chelsea got their act together the following year and won the Premier League for the fifth time pretty easily.However, it could have been so so different when Antonio Conte’s men extended their lead over Manchester City to four points with a 3-1 triumph at the Etihad Stadium.City took the lead and should have gone 2-0 up but Kevin De Bruyne managed to hit the bar with the goal at his mercy from six yards out.11City’s late winners – Manchester City (2017/18)
City did not need a lot of luck en route to winning the league last season, however, as they exterminated most teams that crossed their paths.They reached a record points total of 100 points but there were late winners against Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Southampton twice which required that little nudge from lady luck to happen.11One big slice of luck every Premier League-winning side has received from Manchester United to Chelsea Wednesday, 3 April 2019 Liverpool only just managed to stay in touch with Premier League title rivals Manchester City with a rather fortuitous victory over Tottenham on Sunday.
