Manchester City will receive a guard of honour from Swansea City players after clinching the Premier League title.

Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal revealed his side will line-up to welcome the City players on to the pitch at the Etihad Stadium after they won the league with five games to spare.

The Welsh club, who are still in a fight against relegation, contacted the Premier League about marking City's success before kick-off and were given the go-ahead to honour their title success.

"We are proud to the do guard of honour for Manchester City on Sunday." Carvalhal told the club's official website.

"They are the best team in the Premier League and they play fantastic football.

"Congratulations to them, to Pep Guardiola, all the players and the club. They deserve to be champions -- the numbers show you that."

Manchester City have not played since their status as Premier League champions was confirmed.

City could go onto break the record for most points, most wins and most goals in a single season and Carvalhal says Guardiola is a special coach.

"I am very happy to be part of football at a time when we have great managers like Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, and great players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi," he added.

"Pep Guardiola is one of the managers who will be remembered in the history of football.

"People said his football would only work at Barcelona, then when he won in Germany they said Bayern Munich always win in Germany.

"But he has proved you can play good football and win anywhere."

City will have to wait until May 6 to receive the trophy when it will be presented following their penultimate home game against Huddersfield Town.

The club is also planning an open-top bus parade through Manchester for fans after the final game of the season and before players leave for this summer's World Cup.
