Follow the latest updates live as Brighton and Hove Albion take on Manchester City in the day’s final Premier League game.

City’s hopes of catching Premier League champions Liverpool may be over, but they cannot afford to let their foot off the gas with the FA Cup semi-final and Champions League resumption now firmly in view, with Pep Guardiola’s side having plenty left to play for this season. Brighton meanwhile are not quite mathematically safe, but kick-off this evening eight points in front of the relegation zone and know that a victory will ensure they will be playing Premier League football again next season.

Watford and West Ham both secured important victories earlier in the day to help their own survival campaigns, while Norwich’s relegation to the Championship was confirmed thanks to Michail Antonio’s incredible four goals, while Liverpool were held 1-1 in the only 3pm kick-off against Burnley. Chelsea lost the early evening kick-off at Sheffield United in a game that has plenty of repercussions in the battle for European football next season. Follow the action live:
