SPORTS UPDATE WITH EMMAH ATAI: Sergio Aguero, Manchester City’s hero in the last-day drama two years ago, has been passed fit for Sunday’s title decider against West Ham. City lead Liverpool by two points going into the last game this time and must simply avoid defeat against the Hammers to be crowned champions again. Pellegrini believes that he and his players will hold their nerve and promised to go for victory rather than settling for the point that will prove sufficient. David de Gea was named Manchester Uniteds player of the year by both his team-mates and supporters at the clubs annual awards ceremony on Thursday night. The Spanish goalkeeper did the double as he received the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award, voted for by the supporters, and the Players Player of the Year prize for his impressive form this season. De Gea picked up the supporters award after claiming 54 per cent of the vote, ahead of Wayne Rooney and Adnan Januzaj in second and third place respectively. Real Madrid must win at Celta Vigo on Sunday and hope Barcelona and Atletico Madrid slip up if they are to remain in the Liga title race. Carlo Ancelottis side dropped points against Valencia and Real Valladolid in disappointing draws last week, meaning Barcelona and Atletico both now have the league crown in their hands. Those draws have left Real four points adrift of city rivals and UEFA Champions League final opponents Atletico, who host Malaga this weekend as Barcelona travel to Elche. Malky Mackay has dropped all legal claims against Cardiff City following his sacking as manager in December. The Scot was eventually dismissed on December 27 after plenty of speculation surrounding his position and reports that owner Vincent Tan issued Mackay with an ultimatum to resign or be sacked. Brendan Rodgers has refused to confirm speculation linking Liverpool with Southampton captain Adam Lallana. Reports in midweek suggested that the Premier League title contenders were readying a bid for the England international prior to the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Arsene Wenger has called on UEFA to exclude Manchester City from the Champions League for breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.
