Radio coverage: Live commentary on BBC Radio Humberside and KCFM. Coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live and Talksport.

Away fans: See our Away Fans Guide to the KC Stadium.

Referee: Alan Wiley - Previously ref for City's play-off final win a year ago, both league games against Arsenal, the draw at Liverpool, and the home defeat to Bolton

Permutations: City can finish the season as high as 16th with a win, if Sunderland fail to beat Chelsea at home. A draw for City and 5-goal defeat for Sunderland would also see City move up to 16th.
A win for City would guarantee safety no matter what the results of Newcastle (away to Aston Villa), Middlesbrough (away to West Ham) and West Brom (already relegated, away to Blackburn).
If City draw, Newcastle must win.
If City lose, Newcastle only need to draw.
Middlesbrough can only achieve safety if they win by a large enough margin and both City and Newcastle lose.
Sunderland will go down if they fail to beat Chelsea and both City and Newcastle win.
