Rampant Citizens are favourites for the Premier League title with the bookies offering generous odds on the amount of silverware they will end the campaign with.
Manchester City's stunning start to the season has prompted British bookmaker William Hill to open a market on the unbeaten club to scoop all before them.Hill's are offering a price of 250/1 that Roberto Mancini's team will win the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League. The big spenders went top of the league after thumping Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford and are now favourites to end their title drought at 11/10 with the Red Devils at 15/8.
City ended their trophy famine last season with an FA Cup triumph and they are 6/1 to scoop the domestic double. A treble of Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup is trading at 22/1. Emulating their city rivals' treble of 1999 of the Premier League crown, FA Cup and Champions League is priced at 80/1.
"City's current form is red hot and many punters have backed them to make a strong bid to win all four major trophies," said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
No English club has ever won the domestic treble or an historic quadruple. Manchester United came close to landing an English treble in 1993/94 but were denied by Aston Villa in the League Cup final before going on to win the Premier League and FA Cup.
In more recent years, Chelsea were in contention for all four trophies in 2006/07 but fell short after lifting the League Cup and FA Cup. The Blues exited the Champions League at the semi-final stage and finished second behind Manchester United in the title race.
