Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's final Premier League fixture as second-place Tottenham travel north to take on a struggling Manchester City side that will hope to put to bed memories of last weekend's 4-0 thrashing by Everton as well as the loss to Spurs at White Hart Lane earlier in the season.

City arrived in London earlier int he season unbeaten under Pep Guardiola, but they left Spurs having suffered a 2-1 defeat and have since won just 9 of 22 games in all competitions. Spurs meanwhile are on a high after beating Chelsea at the start of the year, while Harry Kane's hat-trick against West Brom last time out sees the England striker arrive at the Etihad Stadium in form.

Follow all the latest here, with team news due in around 20 minutes time.

City will be entering this clash hunting for revenge, as the last meeting between the two clubs ended Pep Guardiola's perfect Premier League start. The visitors have won the last three meetings, so should be entering this clash brimming with confidence, as they chase the PL top spot. 

Will Spurs become the first ever side to do the top-flight double over a side that Guardiola is managing? We'll see.

It's all to play for today. Just over 15 minutes until kick-off now.
