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.

There's a, er, 'eclectic' band playing music erratically as we await the trophy presentation
While we wait, why not catch up on this afternoon's lukewarm but vital 0-0 draw for Huddersfield on City's big day.
The delay? A drug test!
Fernandinho has been called in for a drugs test, hence the long delay.
The Manchester City staff and players are finally on their way back out at the Etihad!
The trophy, carried by two young boys from the City Foundation, has now made its way to the plinth, and it is shining in the glorious weather
The staff have assembled to form a guard of honour for the players, who have all donned shirts with '18 champions' on the back, and Pep too.
They are at the tip of the tunnel, and unsurprisingly, its smiles all round. The announcer heralds their return. The champions will claim their deserved crown imminently
Pep Guardiola high-fives every member of staff assembled in that long line that extends from the tunnel on to the field. He is followed by his City players, who exchange hand-shakes, high-fives and a few jokes with their fellow Cityzens.
