Your support makes all the difference.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
Manchester City have started really well. David Silva has gone the closest for the hosts when he decided to shot when in on goal instead of square the ball to Raheem Sterling or Gabriel Jesus who were free.
20: Huddersfield are here to compete
Alex Pritchard stings the palms of Ederson as he forces a good save from the goalkeeper from range. Huddersfield's press has been particularly impressive.
There's plenty of noise at the Etihad this afternoon but not all of it is being made by the fans. There's all kinds of different loud alarms going off
27: There's been a few sloppy passes across the Manchester City midfield and Pep is looking less than impressed; Huddersfield are doing really well to force mistakes.
28: Kevin De Bruyne almost finds Raheem Sterling with a low cross from the left but the English winger's run brings him into the six yard box just a little too late.
30: Huddersfield need to take one of these chances.
Aaron Mooy has the ball on the edge of the box and lays it to his left for Chris Lowe to strike first time. His left footed effort is powerful but is sliced wide.
35: Stinger
City work a corner to the edge of the box and tee up Kevin De Bruyne to unleash a powerful left-footed shot. His effort travels through a group of bodies and Jonas Lossl just about deals with it after seeing it late.
40: It's been a frustration half for Manchester City who have come up against a tight Huddersfield side who have improved as the half ages.
Manchester City 0-0 Huddersfield
Frustration for the Champions at the break
Manchester City have had a handful of glimpses at goal but so far there's been no times where you really think they're going to score. David Silva wriggled his way through on goal and opted to shoot instead of square a pass to Raheem Sterling or Gabriel Jesus.
Kevin De Bruyne has looked lively but has failed to find a magical moment to open the scoring.
Huddersfield, who need a win to secure Premier League status, started really well and pressed City high up the pitch, with some reward.
Florent Hadergjonaj and Alex Pritchard have both seen shots saved and Chris Lowe sliced a good chance wide.
