Match Preview

Manchester City's race is run in the title after their draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday saw Arsenal crowned champions for the first time since 2004.

But it still promises to be a day of celebration at the Etihad with this game Pep Guardiola's last in charge of City with the Spaniard expected to announce his departure.

Aston Villa might have had a tough second half of the season, but they clinched Champions League football after beating Liverpool last Friday before winning the Europa League on Wednesday.

Unai Emery is likely to make wholesale changes with very little riding on their trip to Manchester.
