Well, well, well! Newcastle start slowly and with great uncertainty. Sheffield United eventually force a corner. Ollie Arblaster takes, Anel Ahmedhodžić heads home, and the Blades aren’t going down without a fight!

It’s all over at the London Stadium, and a draw is no good for either Liverpool or West Ham. Liverpool’s slim chances of the title are all but extinguished, while West Ham are unlikely to be playing European football next season. With the jig as good as up for both of them, now’s as good a time as any to take a look at the Premier League table going into the 3pm kick-offs.

GOAL! Newcastle United 0-1 Sheffield United (Ahmedhodžić 5)

Newcastle United 0-0 Sheffield United. Nothing much going on at St James’ Park at the moment. Should the Toon win as expected, Sheffield United’s relegation will be confirmed today.

Before the goals start flying in, if they start flying in, here’s our regular missive from our regular tangerine-tinged correspondent Simon McMahon. “It’s party time in Dundee today after DUNDEE UNITED confirmed they will be promoted as CHAMPIONS after last night’s hard fought 0-0 draw at Airdrie. To be fair, the players looked as though they’d been partying hard for most of the week after the win over Ayr at Tannadice last Saturday all but clinched the title, but having spent four seasons in the Scottish Championship the last time we were relegated in 2016, an immediate return to the top flight is not to be sniffed at. The dream of a 10th place finish in next season’s Scottish Premier is now very much alive. I think there are some games on today, but after last night, like the great Spartacus Mills said, everything else is a footnote.”

Here we go! Matches kicking off all over the land.

FULL TIME: West Ham United 2-2 Liverpool. Jacob Steinberg was at the London Stadium this lunchtime, to witness what was surely the end of Liverpool’s title challenge. Here’s his report.

The final round of fixtures in League One are complete. Derby County are promoted as a result of their home victory over Carlisle, while Oxford and Barnsley confirm their spots in the play-offs. Barnsley only just made it through, despite conceding a 96th-minute equaliser, as Lincoln and Blackpool both failed to win. Cheltenham’s defeat at Stevenage condemns them to fourth-tier football next season.

Barnsley 1-1 Northampton Town
Derby County 2-0 Carlisle United
Exeter City 1-2 Oxford United
Fleetwood Town 3-0 Burton Albion
Lincoln City 0-2 Portsmouth
Peterborough United 3-3 Bolton Wanderers
Port Vale 0-0 Cambridge United
Reading 3-2 Blackpool
Shrewsbury Town 1-3 Leyton Orient
Stevenage 2-1 Cheltenham Town
Wigan Athletic 2-0 Bristol Rovers
Wycombe Wanderers 1-0 Charlton Athletic

FULL TIME: West Ham United 2-2 Liverpool

There’s some hot Premier League action going on right now. Barry Glendenning has the details of what looks like the last few minutes of Liverpool’s title challenge. It’s currently 2-2 at the London Stadium as the match heads into injury time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers make three changes from their 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth. Matt Doherty, Boubacar Traore and Matheus Cunha come in for Tommy Doyle and Pablo Sarabia, who drop to the bench, and the hamstrung Santiago Bueno.

Luton Town have lost their last two matches, against Manchester City and Brentford, 5-1. They make just one change from the latter, Daiki Hashioka replacing the injured Issa Kabore.

Newcastle United make two changes in the wake of their midweek 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace. Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento replace Emil Krafth and Harvey Barnes, who both drop to the bench.

Sheffield United are unchanged. They name the same starting XI that began the aforementioned 4-2 defeat at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are unchanged after their 4-2 win over Sheffield United. You’d trot out the old “if it’ ain’t broke …” observation, but, well, y’know. Mason Mount is back on the bench.

Burnley make just one change after their own rout of Sheffield United, a 4-1 win at Bramall Lane last weekend. David Datro Fofana takes Charlie Taylor’s spot up front; Taylor drops to the bench.

Fulham make two changes to their starting XI after the 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool. Issa Diop and Harrison Reed are in; Sasa Lukic drops to the bench while Tosin Adarabioyo – who according to reports we can now describe as “wantaway” – misses out altogether.

Crystal Palace, looking to make it four wins on the bounce, make one change, and it’s enforced. Eberechi Eze has a knee injury so Michael Olise takes his place.
