It all comes down to this. After a season full of twists and turns, only Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa stand in the way of Manchester City and a fourth Premier League title in five seasons.
Only a win would guarantee that club captain Fernandinho gets his hands on England's biggest domestic honour. Liverpool — who play Wolves at Anfield at the same time — know any slip-up allows them a chance to steal the glory from City's grasp and set up the chance to win a quadruple when they face Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
In the reverse fixture between the two sides, Bernardo Silva's exquisite volley was the difference at Villa Park. The Portuguese international rounded off a stellar City counter-attack to double the lead after Ruben Dias had put the visitors in front. Ollie Watkins grabbed a goal early in the second half, but the Blues hung on to three vital points.
