Vincent Kompany could replicate Manchester City's most iconic moment this weekend - although he'd prefer to do it without the late drama.
Kompany was City captain when Sergio Aguero scored that dramatic title-clinching winner against QPR deep into stoppage time on the final day of the 2011-12 season. It handed City their first Premier League title as they snatched it away from Manchester United with two goals in added time to turn a 2-1 deficit into 3-2 victory.
City have subsequently added five more top-flight trophies to their honours list and could achieve the treble of Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this season. Kompany, now in charge of Burnley, admits he could see Pep Guardiola's side winning all three trophies such is the consistency of their performances.

"I have been impressed by Manchester City for the last 10 years," he said. "It's what they do and it is just a question of time. The consistency is too big for it (winning the Champions League) not to happen eventually. They are winning consistently and they have got that momentum so anything is possible for them this year again."
City are in FA Cup semi-final action against Sheffield United on Saturday as they aim to book a place in the Wembley showpiece but Kompany's focus will be on Turf Moor, where QPR are the visitors as his Burnley side seek the Championship title. It's a fixture list quirk that has more than a nod to that memorable 2012 moment.
A Burnley win will secure them the title and Kompany is targeting three points, however they come, even if he'd prefer a quieter afternoon than the one he experienced at the Etihad 11 years ago.
