Manchester City and Liverpool are battling for the Premier League title and we’re down to the final day, with Man City holding a one-point edge and on track to win its fourth PL trophy in five seasons.

Premier League run-in: Title battle – As it stands

1st: Man City – 90 points (37 games) GD +72
2nd: Liverpool – 89 points (37 games) GD +66


Manchester City

Well, here you go, gents: Beat Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium and you’re champions of the Premier League for the fourth time in five seasons. City has beaten Villa eight-straight times and is unbeaten in 12 against the Villans. This Villa team is quite good and will be motivated to try and hand old pal Jack Grealish and his pals a historic setback. But still, City are big favorites at home. A draw would also do if Liverpool draws or loses.

Remaining games: Aston Villa (H)

Rating their chances: 89 percent


Liverpool

Liverpool’s conquered every hurdle to get here, and It’s remarkable to think the Reds could’ve arrived in the driver’s seat had they beaten Spurs instead of drawing 1-1. You wouldn’t expect Wolves to collect a win at Anfield but anything is possible in the Premier League.

Remaining games: Wolves (H)

Rating their chances: 11 percent
