Pep Guardiola's side must beat Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium to retain their title or match Liverpool's result at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. City are a point clear of the Reds after their 1-0 victory over Leicester City on Monday and will be favourites to beat a Brighton that sit in 17th. Liverpool appear to have the tougher fixture at home to seventh-place Wolverhampton Wanders. Yet the Reds are unbeaten at Anfield this season in the league and will be boosted by their 4-0 UEFA Champions League win over Barcelona on Tuesday, which sent them to the final for the second straight year.

Guardiola's side have won their past 13 league games and have not tasted defeat in the league since January. Brighton successfully avoided the drop this season and have little but pride to play for, but manager Chris Hughton says his players will be doing all they can to get a result: The Seagulls have gone 10 games without a win in all competitions, but they picked up a point at Arsenal last time out. Hughton also has experience of beating Manchester City on the final day: Yet Manchester City will not fear their trip to the south coast, and while nerves may play a part for the visitors, they are expected to gain the win needed to lift the trophy. Liverpool vs. Wolves Liverpool produced an incredible comeback against Barcelona on Tuesday to reach the Champions League final. Manager Jurgen Klopp is hoping for more miracles on Sunday: The Reds are aiming to be crowned champions of England for the first time since 1990, but a win against Wolves would not be enough if Manchester City beat Brighton. Liverpool could be boosted by the return from injury of top scorer Mohamed Salah, who was concussed against Newcastle United, according to Paul Gorst at the Liverpool Echo. Klopp also said Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson should be fit but that Roberto Firmino will miss out: Wolves have enjoyed a superb season on their return to the Premier League and have enjoyed impressive victories over Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. Nuno Espirito Santo's side have also won against Liverpool this season, as they knocked them out of the FA Cup in January: Wolves will present the Reds with a stiff challenge on the final day, yet Klopp's side are on a roll and know they have to win if they are to have any chance of ending their long wait to be crowned champions.<doc-sep>With only three rounds of fixtures remaining and one point separating the champions and the challengers, the finest Premier League title race of recent years is almost over. Both Manchester City and Liverpool are likely to achieve points totals which would be enough to win the league in all but a handful of post-1995 (i.e. 38-game) seasons. And whichever one of Jürgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola finishes in second place is now all but certain to have overseen the Premier League’s best-ever runners-up finish. Whether City defend their crown or Liverpool end their 29-year wait for a domestic title will depend, in part, on their respective run-ins. By calculating the average points-per-game home and away of each Premier League club this season, we can weigh up the difficulty of City and Liverpool's remaining fixtures.

The run-ins Manchester City Current position: 1st Points: 89 Average home/away points of opponents: 1.34 City’s run-in up until this point has undoubtedly been the more difficult one, but they have now cleared their two biggest hurdles. Remaining fixtures 28/04 Burnley (A) 04/05 Leicester (H) 12/05 Brighton (A) Saturday’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur was followed by another at Old Trafford, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United beaten 2-0. City are now one crucial point ahead of Liverpool having played the same number of games as Klopp’s side, with three fixtures remaining. The champions must now travel to Burnley, who have picked up 1.35 ppg at Turf Moor this season, beating Tottenham but losing their other three home fixtures against ‘top six’ sides. The visit of Brendan Rodgers to the Etihad will evoke memories of the last time City and Liverpool battled for the title in 2014. Leicester City (1.39 ppg away) have already beaten City this year, though doing the same away from home will be a tall order. On the final day, City travel to relegation-threatened Brighton. Chris Hughton’s side may well be safe by then. If not, then they could have a significant say in this title race. ✕ Support free-thinking journalism and attend Independent events Liverpool Current position: 2nd Points: 88 Average home/away points of opponents: 0.97 Liverpool’s run-in remains marginally more favourable than City’s, though Klopp’s side also have a Champions League semi-final against Barcelona to worry about. Remaining fixtures 26/04 Huddersfield (H) 05/05 Newcastle (A) 12/05 Wolves (H) Before next week’s Camp Nou first leg, already-relegated basement club Huddersfield visit Anfield on Friday night. Anything less than a comfortable win over Jan Siewert’s side will be classed as a severe disappointment, given that they have picked up just 0.44 points-per-game away from home. St James’ Park, however, will be a very different proposition and any suggestions that Rafael Benitez will be easy prey for his former club should be treated with suspicion. Newcastle have won six of their eight home games since the turn of the year, including a memorable victory over City in late January. Wolves, meanwhile, have famously taken points off every member of the so-called ‘top-six’ bar one: Liverpool. They travel to Anfield on the final day and no longer have to worry about resting players for an FA Cup final.<doc-sep>Manchester City and Liverpool have the top two spots sorted, but there's a race for the last two Champions League spots and talkSPORT looks at who's got the edge as we enter the closing stages of the season As Manchester City continue to fight off Liverpool in a riveting Premier League title race, an equally intriguing battle is going on just below them in the table. Four teams are competing for the remaining two Champions League spots – and there are just two games of the season left. 6 City scraped past Burnley following Liverpool’s win over Huddersfield And like at the top, the race for those precious places is going to go down to the wire, as Tottenham bid to hold onto third, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United in with a shout of getting in too. The weekend produced crazy results with none of the teams managing a win. Spurs were beaten by West Ham at home, while Arsenal were torn apart by Leicester at the King Power Stadium. Meanwhile, Manchester United and Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

If Man City beat Brighton by any scoreline, they will retain the Premier League trophy as they are already one point ahead of Liverpool. A draw for City will be fine as long as Liverpool lose or draw their match against Wolves, while if City are beaten by Brighton they must rely on Wolves to defeat Liverpool to become champions. How can Liverpool win the title? Any defeat for Liverpool means they cannot claim the Premier League crown. A draw against Wolves would win Liverpool the title if Man City lose to Brighton by at least four clear goals. Winning against Brighton would move Liverpool onto 97 points. They will win the title if City draw or lose their match on the south coast. Getty 5 Jurgen Klopp could win his first trophy as Liverpool manager on Sunday Who will claim the final Champions League qualification place? Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all guaranteed to finish in the top four, with Arsenal and Tottenham battling it out to claim the final spot. Tottenham will finish in the top four if they win or draw against Everton regardless of Arsenal’s result. The Gunners can only overtake Spurs if they beat Burnley and Tottenham lose to Everton, and there is an eight-goal swing. If this happens, Arsenal will finish ahead of Spurs on goal difference. Who will qualify for the Europa League Whichever one of Arsenal or Spurs fails to finish in the top four will instead qualify for the Europa League. They will be joined by Manchester United, who are guaranteed to finish inside the top six. 5 A poor season for United means they won’t be playing Champions League football next season Wolves have secured seventh place in the Premier League so could also qualify for the Europa League, though only if Manchester City beat Watford in next week’s FA Cup final. If the Hornets claim silverware at the Wembley showpiece, however, they will qualify for Europe instead of Wolves. Who has been relegated? The relegation fight has already been determined heading into the final day, with Huddersfield, Fulham and Cardiff failing to secure top flight survival. The latter two drop back down to the Championship after just a single season in the Premier League. Who is set to win the Golden Boot? Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah leads the way ahead of the final day.
