    Guardiola's men host Aston Villa with manager and Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard threatening to spoil City's attempts to stave off the challenge of Jurgen Klopp's quadruple-chasers. City's double digit lead at the top from earlier on in the season has been trimmed to just one point going into the final day and Guardiola is under no illusion about the size of the task facing his players.

He feels there is no risk of fatigue and is excited by the challenge of keeping City in a position to challenge for top prizes.

    NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Nashville's streak is the third longest in MLS history, trailing only the Houston Dynamo's 30-game stretch and Real Salt Lake's 29-match run. The two teams played for 19 minutes before rain forced a nearly three-hour delay. Most of the scoring came in a 7-minute span of the first half.
