WHAT a day is in prospect at the Etihad on Sunday as Manchester City fans prepare to salute their Premier League winning idols.
In contrast, worried Swansea supporters will hope their team can leave with at least a point to ease their relegation fears.
City’s swash-buckling season has brought new scintillating standards to the Premier League.
They clinched the title with a record-equalling five games still to go.
It may not have been the last-minute miracle of 2012, or the last-day drama of 2014 but rather more a serene glide to glory.
City’s triumph was based on an incredible 18-match winning streak, running from August to New Year’s Eve, that saw Pep Guardiola’s men take a grip on the table that never loosened.
In the end victory against Spurs at Wembley combined with Manchester United’s shock defeat to West Brom put them in an unassailable position.
When the teams met in December, City walloped the Swans 4-0 at the Liberty Stadium with two goals from David Silva and one each from Kevin de Bruyne and Sergio Aguero.
