ShareFollow Sportsmail's coverage of the Barclays Premier League as Manchester City host Stoke at Eastlands for their final home game of the season. It's a repeat of Saturday's FA Cup final but this time Roberto Mancini's side will be aiming to leapfrog Arsenal into third. Email me your thoughts on the game at dan.ripley@dailymail.co.uk
?19.33: The full team news from Eastlands:
Man City v StokeMan City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Zabaleta, Adam Johnson, Milner, De Jong, Silva, Toure Yaya, Tevez. Subs: Given, Wright-Phillips, Dzeko, Kolarov, Barry, Vieira, Boyata.Stoke: Sorensen, Wilkinson, Shawcross, Collins, Wilson, Whitehead, Whelan, Diao, Pugh,? Carew, Walters. Subs: Nash, Soares, Jones, Tonge, Delap, Faye, Shotton.Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)
19.30: I will be interested to see how Stoke respond this evening. Will they really be that bothered about trying to beat City or is that pesky beach that the mid-table teams seem to get an early view of in the season going to distract them?
19.27: And seeing as their is also a play-off semi-final between Cardiff and Reading this evening I will keep you up-to-date with major developments there - after all one of those sides could be in the Premier League next season.
19.24: I know it all seems done and dusted at the top of the table but there really is an incentive for Man City to win this.
Three points will take them above Arsenal with a game to go and by then at least matching the Gunners on the final day, they can avoid having to go through those pesky Champions League qualifiers.
19.21: Credit to Manchester City by the way. There will be no parading the FA Cup on the pitch this evening, purely out of respect to beaten finalists Stoke. Nice touch that.
19.18: Roberto Mancini makes three changes to his victorious FA Cup final line-up as Manchester City look to leap into an automatic Champions League spot by confirming their superiority over Wembley opponents Stoke.
Mario Balotelli, Aleksandar Kolarov and Gareth Barry all miss out, with Adam Johnson, Pablo Zabaleta and James Milner coming into the Blues' starting line-up.
Safe in mid-table and with a place in next season's Europa League already secure despite their weekend failure, Stoke boss Tony Pulis includes five new faces, with John Carew leading the attack and Matthew Etherington, Jermaine Pennant and Robert Huth all missing out as expected.
19.15: Couldn't get enough of the FA Cup final? Well I have just the thing for you, yes it's Manchester City v Stoke....and this time it's personal! (Imagine a voice-over for a movie trailer there.)
Sadly Potters fans it's not a replay of the Wembley match-up as such, but there is a chance of grabbing some sort of revenge by making City's path to the Champions League just that little bit more awkward. Team news on the way.
