After a decade on the Manchester City bench, Pep Guardiola will take charge of his final game for the Citizens this Sunday against Aston Villa. With City guaranteed a second-place finish and the title already out of reach, the pressure is off, but emotions will be running high as an extraordinary era comes to an end.

Elsewhere in the football world, Liverpool are also preparing for an emotional goodbye as Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, both at the club since 2017, get set to bid farewell to Anfield. Meanwhile, newly crowned Premier League champions Arsenal, who ended a 20-year wait for the title, face Crystal Palace with next weekend’s Champions League final against PSG looming large.
