The Premier League title race is going to the wire this season with Manchester City and Liverpool set for final day drama.
City will win their second successive top-flight crown if they beat Brighton on the south coast today.
Anything other than a win of Pep Guardiola’s side could see Liverpool leapfrog them into the top spot – if they can see off Wolves at Anfield.

Premier League title race: Where will the real trophy be?
Premier League officials have decided to send the real trophy to the AMEX Stadium with City firm favourites to win the league.
A replica, which is identical to the real thing and also made from solid sterling silver, will be at Anfield.
If Liverpool do win the title, they will receive the real thing at a later date.
In previous years, the league have put on helicopters to transfer the trophy around the country if needed but that won’t be the case this term.
