Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan is out to become a Manchester City title party pooper — and keep the Liverpool-supporting mates badgering him happy.

All 10 Premier League games kick off at the same time on the final day, and leaders City face Ryan's Seagulls needing to match second-placed Liverpool’s result against Wolves at Anfield to become the first team in a decade to win back-to-back domestic titles.

But the Australia international has other ideas, and admits he can't stop thinking about THAT final day seven years ago, when a QPR side who finished fourth-bottom — the position Brighton currently occupy — came within seconds of denying City the title and crowning Man United instead.

The Blues famously pinched the championship, on goal difference, when Sergio Aguero scored to win the game 3-2 deep in added time.

“The most surreal thing is having friends and family who are Liverpool supporters and having the opportunity to have such a big influence on history," said Ryan.

“I can’t help but think back to Man City a few years ago when they played QPR [who finished fourth-bottom in that 2011-12 season, the place Brighton now occupy] and they almost caused the biggest upset.

“I keep imagining and hoping in that situation, if it comes up again, to make that big last-ditch save to affect the result. If you can do that, in similar circumstances, that would be a memory I would cherish for the rest of my life.

“A couple of mates I grew up with have been messaging me. The more I think about it, the more I’m remembering the messages I’ve got! That’s probably the most surreal thing about it.

“Now I’m playing at this level it feels natural, the more experience you get. But the fact there is so much at stake and a title on the line, it just feels so big. I remember the hype around that City and QPR game those years ago and how the whole world was invested in it.

“It’s nice to be part of that. If we can disturb the party, it would be nice.”
