Premier League

Manchester City kick off the last game of the season with destiny in their own hands thanks to Vincent Kompany`s late goal against Leicester City on Monday Night. If they win their final game away to Brighton and Albion on Sunday and Liverpool beat Wolves, they will retain their Premier League crown by just a single point.

The Sky Blues have won their last 13 Premier League matches in a row and will be odds-on to get the job done against a side who have not won any of their last eight.

Pep Guardiola`s men have conceded just once in their last seven Premier League matches and won three of their last four by just a single goal. On their day, they are capable of blowing anyone away but they have also shown a remarkable ability to grind out results when needed.

Meanwhile, Brighton will be keen to show the world they merit a place amongst the elite by having a say in proceedings on the final day. Chris Hughtons men drew three of their last four league matches (away to Arsenal and Wolves, and at home to Newcastle) and were beaten by just a single goal at Tottenham Hotspur. Those results ensured they retained their Premier League status for any season.

The Seagull`s home form was strong in the early part of the campaign but tailed off in the New Year. In total, they have amassed just five points from their last eight home games in the league. If they can get anything from Sundays game, it would be their biggest result of the season, surpassing last weeks draw at the Emirates and their win over Manchester United back in August.

Betting odds and tips

Brighton will want to play their part on Sunday and will not make things easy for the visitors. City`s last four games all produced Under 2.5 Goals and a similar outcome should be expected here.

You can back Under 2.5 Goals at 7/4.
