Winning the Premier League is a massive achievement for a club, so Manuel Pellegrini and his players can feel very proud of themselves if they get the job done on Sunday.

But while looking at City's key men, you can't overlook Kompany. He made a mistake at Anfield which led to City losing but his leadership qualities, physicality, intelligence and reading of the game make him one of the best defenders in the Premier League, if not the world. Kompany's pace means that on the rare occasion he does make a mistake or has someone running at him he can deal with the situation, as he did at Everton on Saturday Night Football when he made a great challenge on Ross Barkley. Though with City still conceding goals, I think he needs a new centre-back partner next season...
