It’s the final home game at the Etihad Stadium for a memorable – and utterly dominant – season for Manchester City, at it will culminate with Pep Guardiola getting his hands on the Premier League trophy for the first time.

City face Huddersfield Town, who still aren’t safe from the drop, looking to hit the 100 point mark, which they can only do by winning their remaining three games.

Huddersfield are nearly safe as Swansea and Southampton play each other next but could do without a heavy defeat given their inferior goal difference – it is the second worst in the division.

Odds…

Manchester City: 1/9

Huddersfield: 33/1

Draw: 14/1

Graham Souness has not been with impressed with Manchester City in the first half, and is particularly critical on Sky Sports of David Silva for not squaring the ball to Raheem Sterling or Gabriel Jesus when through on goal.  

"Just roll it across, don't tell me he doesn't see it because he sees everything. Fernandinho pulling out of challenges that's just not city. They're playing against a team that's fighting for their lives."

46: We're back underway!

52: We've had a fairly scrappy start to the first half, Manchester City are struggling to slip into any kind of rhythm and the visitors are playing like their nickname, Terriers, suggests.

54: Off the line!

From a Manchester City corner, Jonas Lossl comes to collect the ball at the near post but somehow manages to bundle the ball towards the line. On hand to clear is Christopher Schindler who saves his goalkeeper and Huddersfield embarrassment.

56: Benjamin Mendy continues his comeback and enters the action in place of Fabian Delph.

59: ​Steve Mounie makes way for Laurent Depoitre.

Huddersfield have 30 minutes to hold on or find a winner.

A reminder that Manchester City are still chasing some impressive records.

66: Time wasting season is already upon us and Tommy Smith goes into Mike Dean's book for taking his time with a deep free kick. 

Jack Watson6 May 2018 14:53

67: His standards are so high but he hasn't quite reached that this afternoon, Kevin De Bruyne makes way for Ilkay Gundogan. 

Jack Watson6 May 2018 14:54

68: David Silva finds Leroy Sane in the box with a beautifully weighted lofted pass but the German can't find room to shoot as City crank up the pressure. 

The Huddersfield team that were brave on the ball in the first half haven't emerged after the interval. Clearances are now being pumped up the pitch with little consideration and City attacks keep on coming.
