Celebrations for Manchester City's victory parade will take place tonight with the players heading through the city centre upon an open-top bus with their trophies.
The parade starts at 6pm from Manchester Town Hall, making its way past Peter Street and Deansgate, before ending at Manchester Cathedral at 6.45pm.
The players will then be presented on stage at 7pm, where the event is expected to draw to a close at 7.30pm.
With thousands of fans visiting the city centre, the traffic will be significantly busier for the usual rush hour period.
Commuters and fans are advised to travel by public transport or by foot where possible.
But how will this affect Manchester the roads, buses and trams? This is what Transport for Greater Manchester have to say.
This is why Pep Guardiola wore a distinctive hat to the Manchester City parade
