    "City deserved that. I don’t think anyone would begrudge them that fourth place. They did what they had to do and didn’t take their opportunities. 

    "They controlled the last 20 minutes, worked hard and applied themselves. They were thoroughly professional."

    Barring a Manchester United miracle, that is job done for Man City. They should be in the Champions League next season.

    Yaya Toure gets the last few minutes, in place of Sergio Aguero. This could be his last few minutes in a City shirt.

    Man City are digging in. No inch given. There will be a minimum of three added minutes.

    Man City aren't in a hurry to do anything now. They are trying to drain every second they can.

    Swansea 1-1 Man City

    Manchester City are still just one mad moment away from disaster but they are keeping hold of the ball well. It is all about calculated risk now. They would love another goal, but the threat of conceding means they can't be too adventurous.

    Bacary Sagna is up and able to continue. He is still grimacing but that is big improvement on the ominous way he dropped to the turf after twisting that knee.

    This looks nasty. Bacary Sagna is in a lot of pain after twisting his left knee while attempting to make a tackle. In the meantime, Swansea take off Jefferson Montero and send on Bafétimbi Gomis.

    Ten minutes to go. Manchester City have the point they need to all but seal Champions League football. But all it needs is a Swansea goal to ruin everything.

    "He may have had a mixed time at Manchester City since signing last year, but Wilfried Bony is still a big hit with Swansea City fans.

    "As the former Swans striker warms up, the home fans are applauding the Ivorian and chanting his name.

    "They’re also telling Bony the visiting City fans “don’t sing your name” in what might be an attempt to convince the 27-year-old to return to south Wales."

    A Man City goal would really settle some ever-growing nerves for the visitors. They have a corner but De Bruyne completely wastes it by swinging the ball over everyone and out for a goal-kick.

    "It will only take one mistake from City or one moment of brilliance from Swansea. City are in desperate need of that balance between getting a goal but giving nothing away."

    Kelechi Iheanacho should have scored a boat-load today. He has another chance after charging to edge of the box but slips at the vital moment and scoops his shot high and wide. It will be the striker's last act of the season...

    It doesn't go in. It is swung over but headed clear by a Man City head. Danger over.

    If you are a Man City fan, I suspect you might be sweating a little.

    Now then. Bacary Sagna is carded for a foul on Jefferson Montero that gives Swansea a dangerous free-kick wide left. If this goes in it will release the mother of all cats amongst the pigeons...

    And now Fernandinho shanks one. He is set up by Kelechi Iheanacho on the edge of the box but pulls his shot horribly wide. Another chance goes begging.

    "Swansea centre-back Federico Fernandez and Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero were Argentina team-mates at the 2014 World Cup.

    "Fernandez says the players from that squad have stayed in touch with a group on WhatsApp - but there have been times today when he seems to be struggling to keep up with Aguero.

    "City’s top scorer has been his typical elusive self in the Swans’ penalty area but, so far, the usually impeccable finisher has failed to find his range."
