Defending champions City have the upper hand as they lead by a point knowing they only have to match Liverpool’s result to become the first side in a decade to retain the title.
Liverpool have not lifted the league since 1990, but could not have done much more to finally end that wait after posting a club record 94 points with one game to spare.
Incredibly the Reds could post the third highest points tally ever in the Premier League with victory against Wolves and still miss out.
“Both teams deserve the title. But it can be just one. The team that is going to lose can’t have regrets because they have given everything,” said City boss Pep Guardiola.
Statistically this is the greatest Premier League title race of all-time, but AFP Sports looks at what rivals it for drama from the history books.
2011/12 – Aguero snatches the title
It is rare for the title to be won on the final day, even rarer to do it in the final minute of stoppage time in the final game.
Should City seal the title on Sunday it will be the club’s fourth in eight years, a run that was started by Sergio Aguero’s dramatic winner as they came from 2-1 down in injury time to beat Queens Park Rangers 3-2 on the day and Manchester United to the title on goal difference.
City had also seemed down and out just weeks before as defeat at Arsenal saw United open up an eight-point lead with six games to go.
However, Roberto Mancini’s men won all six, including a 1-0 victory over United, while the Red Devils lost at Wigan and drew 4-4 at home to Everton to hand Aguero the chance to snatch it away.
1998/99 – United edge Arsenal to claim treble
The most memorable season in Manchester United’s history could have turned out very differently but for a late season slip up by Arsenal at Leeds.
United, Arsenal and Chelsea battled for superiority throughout the season with Alex Ferguson’s men failing to win any of the four games against their title rivals.
However, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s winner at Elland Road to beat Arsenal in the penultimate game of the season meant United claimed the title on the final day with victory over Tottenham before also going on to lift the FA Cup and Champions League.
