Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe says the Premier League has been blessed to have two 'outstanding teams' battling for the title.

Manchester City and Liverpool have set an amazing standard at the top of the table this season and the destination of the title remains in the balance.

City will defend the title successfully if they win at Brighton, but anything less and Liverpool can overtake them with a home win over Wolves.

Howe - who has enjoyed another fine season with 13th-placed Bournemouth - said: "It is brilliant for the League.

"It is what everyone wants, at the top, nothing to be decided until the last game.

"I think you have got two outstanding teams, who have been so consistent.

Regarding the task of preparing a team to deal with Liverpool and City, Howe added: "You know what both teams are going to do, but dealing with it is a different thing.

"We have found games against them very difficult this season, they have outstanding players and are very well-coached.

"I have said after all four games that we can take so much from both teams, certain things they do that we would love to adapt more into our games."

It has already been an incredible week for football,as Liverpool and Tottenham produced remarkable fightbacks to beat Barcelona and Ajax, and set up an all-English Champions League final.

"How could you not enjoy those games?" said Howe.

"Great for football, a great advertisement for what the game represents - never being beaten, never giving up despite the circumstances being bleak, showing what you can achieve when everyone is united for the same cause.

"They are games people will remember for a long, long time."
