Mooy gets the ball on the edge of the box and shoots wide.

Fernandinho attracts the attention of the ref, although not a booking, for karate chopping Mooy in the back as they tussled for the ball.

City running rings around Huddersfield. A clever move sees D Silva glide into the area. Shoots low, might possibly have been better off looking inside, where City had a couple of men. 

Either way, it feels like a matter of time.

Sterling at it again.

First moment of danger. Sterling down the right, inside into Silva. Time to pick out his pass, slides it through. Sterling is just a foot too late. That was too easy.

It's a lovely day there. City are playing the ball around at the back in glorious sunshine.

Souey on some of the MCFC legends present

I was frightened of Franny Lee. And Mike Summerbee, too, although don't tell him that. He used to chip full backs into the stand. 

Here's what's on offer

Ederson has got his marigolds on

"He looks like he is about to clean the kitchen," observes Chiara Palazzo on the Telegraph picture desk. She is absolutely correct.

Manchester City

have asked that fans stay off the pitch later.

Supporters are asked to remain in their seats at full time for post-match activities including the presentation of the Premier League trophy, which will take place shortly after the final whistle. Thank you for your fantastic support and cooperation throughout the season.

Good luck with that.

Talking of skippers

Vincent Kompany will have the honour of lifting the PL trophy for the third time later this sunny Sunday afternoon.

Not a lazy Sunday, though. We've got live blogs of Arsenal vs Burnley, where Wenger will make his Emirates farewell. And then Chelsea vs Liverpool, which could have an impact on the battle for the Champions League places.

Big day for Town skipper

Tommy Smith. Back in the XI, and facing the club at which he spent eight years as an academy player. Tommy Smith. That is a proper football name for a club captain.

It will be a party for City

but for Huddersfield Town, this is a serious occasion. They are in 16th place, two points ahead of Southampton and Swansea, but with an inferior goal difference to both. Realistically, this is not exactly a fixture that David Wagner will have been targeting but it would be helpful if Huddersfield could avoid a pasting.

Good afternoon

and welcome to our live blog of Manchester City against Huddersfield, where Pep Guardiola's team will be presented with the Premier League trophy at the end of the match. Here is Pep on his talented English winger Raheem Sterling:

Pep Guardiola has reassured Raheem Sterling his recent penalty frustrations are more of a problem for referees than himself.

Sterling was denied what seemed to be a blatant penalty in Manchester City's victory at West Ham last weekend and also had a strong case turned down at Liverpool in the Champions League last month.

Guardiola believes Sterling is being hampered by an unwarranted reputation for diving - and City objected when Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger accused him of going down too easily earlier this season - but he hopes he will not let it affect him.

The City manager said: "Of course the people talk too much, say he is diving, and when people say that, people believe that.

"But he is a guy who is quite honest in those terms. He is smart, he is intelligent. He is a guy who never kicks the opponent.

"There was a penalty at Anfield, penalty at West Ham but the referees didn't decide to give them.

"But that is not Raheem Sterling's problem, it is a problem for the referees.

"But he has to accept it and handle it. If one person makes the wrong decision - stand up, go forward, next one. The next action is the most important thing."

Despite this and some criticism over his finishing, Sterling has still enjoyed an outstanding campaign with the Premier League champions.

The England forward has scored 23 goals and made 12 assists in all competitions. It is by far the 23-year-old's best return but Guardiola expects him to improve further.

He said: "He has made a fantastic season. Hopefully he can maintain it for the national team at the World Cup.

"But what I liked the most is the feeling that he can do better. The numbers this season have been top in terms of assists and goals, and the influence in our attack. I think in terms of mentality and belief he made a good step forward compared to last season.

"We'll see if he can maintain that level and I think he can do it."

City will be presented with the Premier League trophy after Sunday's clash with Huddersfield at the Etihad Stadium. Captain Vincent Kompany will be the man to lift it for the third time in his career.

The influential defender has been ravaged by injury in recent years and missed much of the first half of the current campaign. Guardiola hopes these recurring problems do not hasten the end of his City career.

Guardiola said: "Vincent, when he is fit, is one of the best central defenders I have ever seen in my life, for personality, for winning duels, what happens in the box.

"With Vincent, staying here depends on him and his physical condition. I think he will be honest with himself to say, 'I'm ready to play'.

"Manchester City is not going to drop him but when you play just eight, 10 or 12 games a season it is not too much.

"It depends on him but I think the feeling is he is getting better in those terms and hopefully next season he can be fitter longer, because we need him."
