We're rocking and rolling.

"Come on City!" Most of the noise is coming for the away end at a quiet Vicarage Road. And a Pablo Zabaleta song, of course.

Just time for one last huddle of the season for the Watford boys...

Speaking of managers, Walter Mazzarri has been told to pack his bags with Watford issuing a statement remarkable only for its brevity.

The Hornets are on their longest losing streak in nine years - should they lose again on Sunday it will be their longest for 44 years. Enough said.

Vincent Kompany stands in a mean pose, hands on hips, stare fixed back along the line of his players, as the two teams cram into the Vicarage Road tunnel.

Handshakes between the two keepers Heurelho Gomes and Willy Caballero before Z Cars pumps out of the PA system. That's the green light to head out onto the sun-soaked pitch...

Pep Guardiola's been saying some interesting things this week. Firstly that his side's performance this season would have got him sacked at the kind of club he's been accustomed to working at.

Then he asked an interviewer to give him one good reason to think that the English league is anything special compared to Spain, Italy and Germany.

I'm certainly not saying that Guardiola is wrong - just that it's odd that he was willing to say this stuff. You might interpret it as a pointed signal to those he works with at City to up their game if they want to get to his level.

Got it? Good.

Let's hope for a straightforward outcome for all of our sanity.

By contrast, a heavy defeat for City raises the spectre of finishing level on points with Arsenal.

If City were to lose 4-0 at Vicarage Road, and Arsenal to sneak home 1-0 against Everton, the sides would finish like this:

The same permutation would be reached if City lost 5-1 and Arsenal won 2-1 - you get the picture.

What makes this scenario even more complicated is that it could produce a third/fourth place play-off if Liverpool fail to beat Middlesbrough - or a fourth/fifth place play-off if the Reds win at Anfield.

This would require a high-scoring draw for City at Watford, while Liverpool give relegated Middlesbrough a thumping at Anfield.

For instance, a 3-3 draw for City and a 3-0 win for Liverpool would produce this scenario, with the teams tied for third place (and that Champions League group stage place):

The sides would also be locked together with identical records if City drew 4-4 and Liverpool won 4-1, and so on.

City, Liverpool and Arsenal all face a possible play-off to determine qualification for next season's Champions League.

The three clubs, occupying third to fifth place in the Premier League, are separated by three points going into today's final round of games.

But their goal difference, and goals scored, are similar enough to raise the prospect of two teams finishing joint third or fourth with identical records - necessitating a one-off play-off match.

However, bookmakers are clearly not convinced. Of three possible scenarios where a play-off would be required, the one with shortest odds is around 595-1.

Pep Guardiola in the Europa League?? Can you just imagine.

It could happen - here's how....

Walter Mazzarri had little option but to name no recognised centre-back today - all six of his are either injured or suspended.

Sebastian Prodl is banned after being sent off at Stamford Bridge, while Adrian Mariappa picked up a knee injury.

"None of our six central defenders are available, which sums up our season, but we'll give everything we've got," said the Watford boss.

And the two keepers on the bench?

"We needed to cover a hole and Gilmartin is an exceptional guy so he can be on the bench," added Mazzarri.

Talk about a tough audience...

Usually it is Pep Guardiola who makes us play 'guess the formation'. Today it is departing Watford boss Walter Mazzarri.

He makes two changes from Monday's 4-3 defeat at Chelsea, teenage left-back Brandon Mason and forward Stefano Okaka coming in.

Mazzarri names no recognised centre-backs in his starting XI - plus two keepers on the bench in Costel Pantilimon and Rene Gilmartin. Rogue.

Pep goes for a more standard side as City look to get the point they need for Champions League qualification.

The Spaniard makes one change from Tuesday's win against West Brom, left-back Gael Clichy coming in for Aleksander Kolarov.

Pablo Zabaleta waved an emotional farewell to the club after the midweek game at the Etihad - and he doesn't even make the bench today.

Hello! There might not be much to play for on the final day of the Premier League season today, but at least we have a couple of interesting plots at Vicarage Road. Well, sort of.

Manchester City need a point to secure Champions League football in Pep Guardiola's first season in charge against a struggling Watford side who wave farewell to manager Walter Mazzarri.

Not sure it will be a fond farewell...

Unfortunately for Manchester City's celebrated coach, he's not talking about a game which could hand him another league title. Or another European crown.

He's talking about clinching a third-place finish. That would be enough to get him the chop at a "big club"...

"It is a crucial game for us. It is a final. It is in our hands."

If you'd been told last August that Pep Guardiola would be saying this in late May there would have been little surprise.

But you would have thought he was talking ahead of title-defining match. Or the Champions League final...
