Former Manchester City man Danny Mills has made a bizarre claim ahead of the end of the season, suggesting City would swap places with title rivals Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola’s side enter the final weekend one-point clear of the Reds in the Premier League standings and know that a victory against Brighton at the AMEX Stadium will be enough to lift the title for the second season in a row.
Liverpool, meanwhile, secured their spot in the Champions League final in dramatic fashion after fighting back from a 3-0 first-leg defeat to Barcelona to win 4-0 at Anfield, winning 4-3 on aggregate and setting up a date with Tottenham Hotspur.
That means it could still finish as a spectacular campaign for both clubs but Mills believes that the pair would swap places if given the opportunity.
"In an ideal world they would have swapped roles. City would have loved to be in a Champions League final," he told Sky Sports News.

"Maybe not the fans but the club and where that takes them to a global level.
"Liverpool would quite happily be a point ahead going into the last game of the season and if they win they win the league.
"At the moment the league is probably a little more important to Liverpool because they haven't won it for such a long time.

"The Champions League, in terms of where City are, is a little bit more important but it hasn't worked out like that."
Liverpool play Wolves at Anfield on the final day and know their only chance of lifting the title is if Brighton do them a favour.
