Pep Guardiola stands on the brink of a fourth Premier League crown as Man City welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium on the final day of the season.

Victory for the Cityzens will seal a second successive league title, although any slip-up from Guardiola’s men could see Liverpool swoop in at the last moment with the Reds facing Wolves at Anfield at the same time.

City, meanwhile, are no stranger to drama on the final day, having waited until the very end to clinch their league titles in 2012, 2014 and 2018.

Here’s how Guardiola could set his side up.
