KEEP AN EYE ON

Newcastle vs Liverpool - If Newcaslt lose and Palace manage a win, the Eagles will leapfrog the Magpies. OR...if Newcastle draw and Palace win by more than one goal, they'll also seal that sweet 13th spot.

AND

Chelsea vs Wolves - if Wolves lose and Spurs win or draw, then the Lilywhites will finish the season in sixth place with a Europa League spot.

WHAT'S AT STAKE?

Nothing and something...

Palace are safe and happy, though they've lost five in a row and have been nothing but dreadful since lockdown. Today, they could finish 13th, or they could stay 14th. It's not high-octane drama as far as Roy Hodgson is concerned.

Spurs, meanwhile, have managed to recover from an awful start to the season and could finish as high as sixth today (and steal a Europa League spot) depending on results elsewhere. While they've missed out on Champions League football, they have finished above Arsenal...so, there's that.
