Preview
Manchester City are again at full strength for their decisive clash with Queens Park Rangers.
Striker Mario Balotelli may return to the substitutes' bench after missing out completely against Newcastle.
Queens Park Rangers midfielder Samba Diakite is still unavailable because of a lingering virus.
Shaun Derry is nursing a dead leg and Akos Buzsaky is also a doubt with a hamstring problem, but Heidar Helguson could return from a groin injury.
MATCH PREVIEW
Forty four years and two days since their last title, the blue half of Manchester is finally ready to celebrate being the champions of English football again. It's a day thousands of City fans thought they'd never see in their lifetimes. It's a day thousands of City fans daren't even think about celebrating yet - not with work still to do.
They've all been through far too much and seen just about everything from their many different teams over the years to expect the expected!
In an eery coincidence, as with their 1968 success, they might have to pay attention to a game between Manchester United and Sunderland at the same time as willing City to a win.
Then, as now, the Manchester clubs went into their final games of the season separated only by goal difference (goal average then). City won 4-3 at Newcastle as United lost at home to Sunderland anyway but it wasn't an afternoon devoid of drama, with City twice losing the lead at St James's Park.
With football coverage and communication as it is now, there should be no problem keeping up with exactly what's happening at the Stadium of Light IF City fans need to know.
A goal difference eight better than United's means a home win would make events on Wearside irrelevant anyway - but I can't help but think of 1996 when it comes to Manchester City and final-day drama. Coming back from two goals down to draw with Liverpool, and false reports of Coventry losing at home to Leeds, led to City's staff telling the players a draw was enough to stay in the Premier League. Instead of going for the win they tried for too long to play out time and drew - as did Coventry. City went down on goal difference.
Going down with them were QPR. If their first return to the top flight since then is to last longer than one season then they might need to avoid defeat - possibly denying City the title in the process. Honestly, Frederick Forsyth couldn't have a written a more thrilling script!
“Time to sit back and watch the drama unfold”
Rangers fans will be hoping for anything other than a Bolton win at Stoke to make their first ever trip to the Etihad Stadium a more relaxed one. No wins and just two points from their last 12 away games - coupled with City's unbeaten home record - makes a QPR win seem a distinctly unlikely occurrence. Or does it?
With Mark Hughes and his coaching staff having been sacked by City in an 'unethical way' according to Sir Alex Ferguson, there's a revenge factor in play. With Joey Barton, Nedum Onuoha and Shaun Wright-Phillips in the QPR squad there's a strong ex-player factor too.
Time to sit back and watch the drama unfold. Let's just not expect the expected. I know that doesn't really make sense - but this is Manchester City after all. Things rarely have with them.
