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
73: There will be no medal for Phil Foden as Bernardo Silva comes on for John Stones. Foden has played four games, one short of the fifth needed to collect a medal today. If he plays in either of City's next games he can pick one up then.
74: This, like many Manchester City games, has turned into an attack vs defence exercise and the home side are caped on the edge of the Huddersfield penalty area.
The pressure is telling and Chris Lowe makes a tired tackle on Raheem Sterling which leads to a yellow card.
77: A touch of cramp is setting in and Chris Lowe comes off for Scott Malone. A reminder that Huddersfield need three points to stay up, so a draw could be enough from this goal, it means they will have to secure another two points against Chelsea and Arsenal.
80: Benjamin Mendy's early cross catches Huddersfield by surprise and Gabriel Jesus heads over. The defence were ready to push up, expecting a sideways pass, but were almost caught out.
Alex Pritchard makes way for Rajv Van La Parra, who was sent off after the final whistle when these sides met earlier in the season following an altercation with Leroy Sane.
83: Jonas Lossl's flappy goalkeeping will certainly make his manager feel a little flappy. A couple of loose saves and missed crosses leads to a Manchester City corner which is worked to the edge of the box where Bernardo Silva fires wide.
85: What a moment this could have been.
The ball falls to Benjamin Mendy in his left back position and he cuts across the ball and aims towards the top corner. His slow rising shot is hit well but lifts over the crossbar.
88: Rajv Van La Parra delays the taking of a free kick and picks up a yellow card as Huddersfield try and slow down the clock. Two minutes and added time to go.
Added time
Four minutes of added time, yep I'm not sure where that's come from either.
90+1: Scott Malone steals the ball from Kyle Walker and is charging in on goal. He has Rajv Van La Parra behind him but he doesn't look round to check, instead he drives on and forces a save Ederson.
Then Laurent Depoitre is away but gets tackled in the box. Chaos in the closing minutes.
