Will Manchester City cinch the title on the final day, or will they slip-up and hand it to Liverpool? Find out with Rob Smyth.

If they don’t, and Liverpool win against Wolves at Anfield, City will endure the nightmare of a trophyless season - not to mention a potential Liverpool quadruple - and Pep Guardiola will be just another bald fraud in a world full of them. City are yet to win three titles in a row, but four in five is the next best thing. Even in England, where things are relatively competitive, this is only the ninth time it has occurred in 30 years of the Premier League. On the last four occasions, starting in 2012, City have been top of the league going into the final games. For City, the presence of Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and even Danny Ings at Villa has given this game an unnervingly whiffy narrative. A Harvard study proved categorically that, had Pearce been playing for any football club in Christendom at the time, he would have scored that penalty. 10 min McGinn retrieves a loose ball on the right and curls in a good cross towards the six-yard line. And if either Pep or Klopp turns up in a beige suit and slip on brogues, I’d just hand the trophy to them straight away.” This being the final day of the season, we have three liveblogs on the go. De Bruyne’s inswinger is headed wide by Fernandinho in front of the near post. Jesus retrieves the ball and gives it to Foden, whose right-footed shot deflects just wide of the far post. Digne gets to the ball first and stabs it clear. 39 min As things stand City are still top of the league on goal difference.

Amidst all this drama there was a moment of poignancy that in a week of violent pitch incursions reminded us that the vast majority of supporters really do know how to behave. Rodri equalised with the next attack and three minutes after that the resurrection was complete, Gundogan bookending the madness to secure City’s eighth title. There was still 20 minutes to go and the feeling that Liverpool would prevail was the salient point here, filling the Etihad with dread. Before that there was a lot of precision huffing and puffing from City but nothing at the end of it. The capacity for rational thought at the Etihad was washed away in five insane minutes that evoked Aguero day in this stadium. There was more chance of turning back the tide than repelling the swollen sea of Manchester City fans drunk on bacchanal spirit.

But that was soon to change as Villa, managed by former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, provided a twist in the storyline. The edgy mood among the home fans turned to desperation after Philippe Coutinho then doubled the lead for Villa with a goal of pure simplicity. Matty Cash put Villa in front in the 37th minute with a fine header from a Lucas Digne cross from the left flank, and the mood in the stadium instantly changed.

Manchester City beat Aston Villa 3-2 as Pep Guardiola's side scored three late goals to erase a 2-0 deficit and win the title in incredible fashion.

As for Aston Villa, well, they have a top 10 finish to play for as they can finish in 10th with a win or as low as 14th if they lose. But a draw or defeat leaves the door open for Liverpool (who start the final day just one point behind them) to win the title and keep their incredible quadruple hopes alive. This will be a tense afternoon but nine times out of 10 you’d expect City to win this game comfortably and a few early goals will settle the nerves of the City faithful. Manchester City know a win at home against Aston Villa on the final day will secure the Premier League title for the fourth time in the last five seasons. On paper that should be the case, but it’s the final day of the season. The City team have arrived. Few moans and groans from the City fans after some loose passes. City all over the place defensively. Watkins and Coutinho have a few chances on the break after that opening goal. Of course it was Coutinho. The Etihad Stadium is absolutely stunned. We are now waiting for the newly crowned champions to come back out onto the pitch and lift the trophy. Fernandinho is then given a special ceremony as that was the 37-year-old’s final game for Man City. What an incredible career he’s had and City’s fans serenade him on the pitch as he stands there with his family.

Man City 3-2 Aston Villa: Pep Guardiola's side were two goals down but scored three in six minutes to retain the title.

The longer City went without a proper chance, the more it was their crowd who were tested, with that tension starting to transmit to the pitch. In a move so reminiscent of Jamie Mackie’s goal for QPR on that famous day in 2012, Lucas Digne surged down the left to cross for Matty Cash. The classic subtext of afternoons like this is that the superior side are almost playing themselves, and their own issues, as much as the opposition. With Guardiola’s nervous backline again exposed by a basic ball up, the Brazilian was put clean through on goal. The mood had changed again. Olsen looked there to be tested, but that was the thing. Even the Belgian, however, was snatching at things. The element that really elevates the drama of such afternoons – or makes it excruciating, depending on your perspective – is just how visibly and drastically the psychology swings on key moments. They produced a final day for the ages. It was just equally impossible to escape the pure sporting drama. By 81 minutes, he’d hit a second and City’s third, to swing the title back to Manchester again. It didn’t go as late as that day against Queens Park Rangers, but it did have the same 3-2 final score, from even more a flurry.

'Legends': Chaos, tears as City do it again, 10 years after THAT iconic moment.

Not only did this squad write itself into City folklore, but they did it 10 years on from one of the most iconic moments in not just club, but football history. The Spaniard was effusive in his praise for his team’s accomplishment, as they once again remained at the peak of the Premier League. If there was a roof on the stadium, it would have been blown into orbit when Gundogan scored his second of the game in the 81st minute to complete City’s comeback and ensure the title would once again remain with Pep Guardiola’s side. Because in the space of just five minutes, City flipped the game — and indeed the title race — on its head. A cushioned header from Ilkay Gundogan in the 76th minute breathed life into City’s title defence, as players rushed to retrieve the ball from the net and restart the game to continue the momentum. When it comes down to winning the title race on the final day of the season, no club does it quite like Manchester City.

Watch more. We scored the goal and got the momentum and our fans did the rest. We will defend our crown again and again. "Ilkay Gundogan is the best runner in second positions that we have. We won with 100%, second one at Brighton, winning at home with our people is the best. "The last game is always special, a lot of emotions. We are champions again! Oleks gave us a lot in the second half. We will be remembered. His first goal gave us hope and fresh heart.
