Afternoon all, and what a blockbuster game we have ahead of us for this weekend’s final Premier League slot.
The Champions face the Champions elect (?). It may not be the yesteryears of Pep vs Kloop, 1st vs 2nd etc. etc.

The last time City were on the global screens, Kylian Mbappé took them to the sword in the Champions League. Three of the best, you know the rest.
