Manchester City will hope to celebrate their Premier League victory as they host Swansea City on Sunday afternoon.
Pep Guardiola’s men have already been confirmed as champions so a victory this weekend would be the perfect way to round off a fantastic week.
It is not going to be an easy task though as they come up against a Swans side still battling for survival in the Premier League.

What time is it?
The match kicks off on Sunday at 4:30pm.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event.
It’s a big game for…
Swansea. Currently sitting five points clear of the relegation zone, Carlos Carvalhal’s men could extend the gap between themselves and the drop zone if they take anything from the game.
Also, with both Stoke City and Southampton not in Premier League action this weekend, it could be a real opportunity to ramp up the pressure.
Best stat…
Swansea have lost their last three games at the Etihad Stadium by the same scoreline. The Welsh outfit have fallen to a 2-1 defeat on each of their last three visits to face the Citizens.
Player to watch…
Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian has returned from injury in great form. The 21-year-old has netted three goals in his last four games in all competitions. He also scored two in the 2-1 home win over the Swans last season.
Form Guide…
Manchester City: WWLLLW
Swansea: WDLLDD
23 mins: Swansea have a chance here though. Sterling concedes a free-kick on the edge of the area and Olsson is standing over it...
He steps up... but it's hit the top of the wall.
28 mins: This game has slowed to walking pace now. Maybe no Premier League record today.
30 mins: A few shouts for a penalty from Raheem Sterling but they're dismissed and Silva curls his shot straight at Fabianski.
32 mins: Another chance! De Bruyne fires a powerful effort which is palmed away and Sterling's follow-up is offside!
34 mins: Kevin De Bruyne is yet again given space to pick a pass and this time he finds Gabriel Jesus who sees his first time shot from the corner of the box saved.
39 mins: Martin Olsson picks up a yellow card for diving as he goes to ground after skipping past Danilo in the box. Good spot from Craig Pawson.
44 mins: Alfie Mawson charges forward and tries a speculative effort from range which is straight at Ederson. The Etihad erupts with ironic cheers.
