An epic Premier League title race reaches its climax on Sunday as Manchester City travel to the Amex Stadium to take on Brighton.
Pep Guardiola’s men have been neck-and-neck with Liverpool all season, but go into the final day a point clear at the summit after a run of 13 consecutive victories.
Latest odds
Having won each of their last four meetings with this opposition, they are priced at just 3/20 (1.15) with William Hill to clinch their second title in a row with yet another victory.
The Seagulls have gone 10 fixtures without a victory in all competitions, but can be backed at 16/1 (17.00) to ensure some major final day drama by pulling off a shock win against the leaders, or 7/1 (8.00) to hold them to a draw.

Team news
Davy Propper is a doubt as he struggles with a thigh knock, while Jose Izquierdo is definitely ruled out with a knee injury.
Fernandinho will face a late fitness test due to a knee issue, with Kevin De Bruyne and Claudio Bravo are both unavailable.
Preview
Having stormed the league in record-breaking fashion last season, the Citizens have been forced to demonstrate a different kind of mettle under constant pressure from a relentless Liverpool team.
Indeed, they have maintained their winning streak despite scoring less than two goals a game over the last 10 fixtures, with three of the most recent four victories secured via narrow 1-0 scorelines.
This solid defence should be more than enough to keep out Chris Hughton’s goal-shy outfit, which has only scored twice in nine matches - while conceding in 10 of their last 11.
Tips and predictions
All in all, odds of 17/20 (1.85) seem very generous on City easing to a decisive victory without conceding for their fourth meeting in five with Brighton.
