Man City vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as Steven Gerrard's side round off their season against Pep Guardiola's title-chasers at the Etihad Stadium.

It would be hard on Phil Foden not to start, but he could be very useful off the bench if City need a goal - as could the in-form Jack Grealish." "Villa, though, are expected to revert back to a 4-3-1-2 system with the defensively-minded Nakamba back in the base of midfield. For Stones, though, Guardiola is always keen to have a right-footer at centre-back, so the England defender could be more likely to start alongside Aymeric Laporte. "Ederson is an obvious pick in goal, with the midfield also straightforward in terms of who starts. "To Gerrard’s potential line-up and it points to a bold one. So the Reds will need their rivals to slip up against Villa, who should have the same squad available after drawing 1-1 at home to Burnley on Thursday night, with the likes of Danny Ings and Philippe Coutinho in contention to start after coming off the bench.

Steven Gerrard would relish the chance to play a role in Liverpool’s second title triumph of the Premier League era. Further forward, Leon Bailey is a doubt but could be deemed fit enough for a place among the substitutes. Guardiola opted to pair Aymeric Laporte with Fernandinho at centre-back last weekend, but Michail Antonio’s pace and direct running troubled the Brazilian, so the City boss might be tempted to make a change even if Stones does not make it.

Amidst all this drama there was a moment of poignancy that in a week of violent pitch incursions reminded us that the vast majority of supporters really do know how to behave. Rodri equalised with the next attack and three minutes after that the resurrection was complete, Gundogan bookending the madness to secure City’s eighth title. There was still 20 minutes to go and the feeling that Liverpool would prevail was the salient point here, filling the Etihad with dread. Before that there was a lot of precision huffing and puffing from City but nothing at the end of it. The capacity for rational thought at the Etihad was washed away in five insane minutes that evoked Aguero day in this stadium. There was more chance of turning back the tide than repelling the swollen sea of Manchester City fans drunk on bacchanal spirit.

Man City 3-2 Aston Villa: Pep Guardiola's side were two goals down but scored three in six minutes to retain the title.

The longer City went without a proper chance, the more it was their crowd who were tested, with that tension starting to transmit to the pitch. In a move so reminiscent of Jamie Mackie’s goal for QPR on that famous day in 2012, Lucas Digne surged down the left to cross for Matty Cash. The classic subtext of afternoons like this is that the superior side are almost playing themselves, and their own issues, as much as the opposition. With Guardiola’s nervous backline again exposed by a basic ball up, the Brazilian was put clean through on goal. The mood had changed again. Olsen looked there to be tested, but that was the thing. Even the Belgian, however, was snatching at things. The element that really elevates the drama of such afternoons – or makes it excruciating, depending on your perspective – is just how visibly and drastically the psychology swings on key moments. They produced a final day for the ages. It was just equally impossible to escape the pure sporting drama. By 81 minutes, he’d hit a second and City’s third, to swing the title back to Manchester again. It didn’t go as late as that day against Queens Park Rangers, but it did have the same 3-2 final score, from even more a flurry.

So I think those questions should go to Pep and Manchester City." Villa said they consider the matter closed and will not be making a complaint.

Enjoy the best of the action from City's stunning Premier League title decider at home to Aston Villa.

A stunning turnaround was then sealed on 81 minutes when Gundogan fired home Kevin De Bruyne's teasing cross to spark scenes of absolute mayhem in the Etihad and so seal the most memorable of title triumphs. Substitute Ilkay Gundogan launched the fightback with a 76th minute header and two minutes later we were level through Rodri's sweet strike. And a stunning return of three goals inside five minutes not only turned the game on its head but delivered a fourth Premier League crown in five years.

Will Manchester City cinch the title on the final day, or will they slip-up and hand it to Liverpool? Find out with Rob Smyth.

If they don’t, and Liverpool win against Wolves at Anfield, City will endure the nightmare of a trophyless season - not to mention a potential Liverpool quadruple - and Pep Guardiola will be just another bald fraud in a world full of them. City are yet to win three titles in a row, but four in five is the next best thing. Even in England, where things are relatively competitive, this is only the ninth time it has occurred in 30 years of the Premier League. On the last four occasions, starting in 2012, City have been top of the league going into the final games. For City, the presence of Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and even Danny Ings at Villa has given this game an unnervingly whiffy narrative. A Harvard study proved categorically that, had Pearce been playing for any football club in Christendom at the time, he would have scored that penalty. 10 min McGinn retrieves a loose ball on the right and curls in a good cross towards the six-yard line. And if either Pep or Klopp turns up in a beige suit and slip on brogues, I’d just hand the trophy to them straight away.” This being the final day of the season, we have three liveblogs on the go. De Bruyne’s inswinger is headed wide by Fernandinho in front of the near post. Jesus retrieves the ball and gives it to Foden, whose right-footed shot deflects just wide of the far post. Digne gets to the ball first and stabs it clear. 39 min As things stand City are still top of the league on goal difference.
