Manchester City will stride out before their adoring crowd as freshly-crowned champions knowing five wins from the final five matches will take them to 102 points and eclipse Chelsea’s record Premier League tally of 95. Pep Guardiola, though, will look to see how his charges react to their new status so, while Swansea will expect a long afternoon, as they are fighting relegation, Carlos Carvalhal’s side may not be a walkover.
