So it comes down to this: a win for Manchaster City against Aston Villa at home Sunday on the last day of the English top-flight season guarantees that Pep Guardiola's team retain their Premier League crown.
However, a draw or defeat for City would allow quadruple-chasing Liverpool the opportunity to steal in and snatch the title away from the defending champion.
Three years ago, City pipped Liverpool to the Premier League title by a point, and will be favorites to do so again.
Since drawing 2-2 with Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on April 10, City comfortably won its next three home games, scoring 13 goals.
Ahead of Sunday's round of fixtures, Guardiola's team has also had a week off, while Villa played on Thursday, drawing 1-1 with Burley. Liverpool was also in midweek action, winning 2-1 at Southampton.
