    We asked for your views on Crystal Palace's performance against Liverpool, and the season as a whole.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Neil: Serious silverware, record top-level points delivered by a group of players capable of taking on the very best with a highly watchable brand of football. Oliver Glasner is a truly gifted managerial talent. A momentous season. Now batten down the hatches, shut up shop, bring them ALL back in August fit and ready for greater success.

    Steve: Such a shame, Palace couldn't hold on to the lead. But I'm being ultra critical. They played well, especially after such an emotional week. The question we are all asking: will the manager and the players stay at the club? The sooner this is resolved the better. The club needs certainty, not the messy pre-season of last year. The future looks bright.

    Paul: Plenty of evidence that long-term thinking is paying off. I've been following Palace since the 1960s and this is the best time beyond any doubt at all.

    Gary: Excellent second half of the season - topping it off with the FA Cup. Disappointing performance though here. Defensively, we were very good, but we gave the ball away too often in midfield and up front. 'On the beach' for some of the players. Disappointing as I didn't expect that from a Palace side. Had we been on it, we would have won. Glasner was not happy after the game and I don't blame him.

    Paul: Been a Palace fan since 1977 and thought we would never win a major trophy, but what a season. Under Glasner, it seems every game counts now and every player has their part to play. We look like a real team under him.

  3. Liverpool 1-1 Crystal Palace - a day of celebrationpublished at 18:49 BST 25 May

    Crystal Palace fans are not going to forget this final week of the season for a while.

    Last weekend they made history by winning the FA Cup - their first major trophy and they carried the momentum from that into their final two Premier League games - beating Wolves 4-2 and then earning this draw at the home of the champions.

    It meant that Palace fans, like Liverpool supporters, were at Anfield just to party but they can be once again proud of the performance their players put in.

    It is encouraging signs for the future but the key question now is how much of this talented squad can Oliver Glasner keep hold of?

    If the answer to that is the majority then Palace fans can look forward with optimism.

    So the curtain has come down on a historic Crystal Palace season with an impressive draw against champions Liverpool at Anfield.

    The Eagles finish in 12th but winning their first major trophy in the FA Cup and producing such a strong second half to the league season means these are special times at Selhurst Park.

    How are you feeling after the game and at the end of a long campaign?

    My train to Liverpool from Manchester today may as well have been a party train.

    Liverpool fans en route to Anfield had taken over the carriage I was in with a stereo playing "You'll Never Walk Alone" out loud as supporters sang along.

    Liverpool fans are not the only ones in celebratory mood with Crystal Palace supporters toasting their successful end to the season following their FA Cup win.

    There were a few mildly disconcerting Oliver Glasner masks on display on the train over too!

  8. Sutton's predictions: Liverpool v Crystal Palacepublished at 12:09 BST 25 May

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    This is an example of an end-of-season game which is impossible to predict. It is the champions versus the FA Cup winners but I have no idea what kind of teams both managers will put out.

    Liverpool have pretty much been on the beach since they secured their title at the end of April, while Palace left out several first-team players in their win over Wolves on Tuesday, with Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta only coming on for the last 10 minutes.

    Palace are on a high after their Wembley win last weekend and if Eze and Mateta start against a weakened Liverpool side then I'd fancy the Eagles' chances. They have got some good players, and the pressure is completely off them.

    You have to think that Arne Slot will go with a strong side here, though, to finish a great season with a win in front of the Anfield crowd before Liverpool get their hands on the Premier League trophy at full-time.

    That's what I am guessing Slot will do, but it's a big gamble by me with my predictions title on the line.

    Slot might do something very different and Eze and Mateta could cause carnage if Virgil van Dijk is left on the bench again, like he was in Monday's defeat by Brighton.

    Sutton's prediction: 3-1

  10. Player of the season - what fans are saying so farpublished at 12:34 BST 24 May

    Your views banner

    We asked you to pick your player of the season after our Crystal Palace fan contributor narrowed it down to Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ismaila Sarr, Daniel Munoz and Eberechi Eze.

    Here are some of your comments on your selection, plus another name thrown into the ring:

    Andy: Munoz is the definition of a hard-working footballer. He covers more ground than any other player - a lot of that is because he's a true wing-back. He's amazing on the break, can deliver a pinpoint cross AND can defend. He shows amazing passion for the game and gives everything every game. He's nailed on to get player of the season.

    Olly: It was a difficult one for me between Munoz and Mateta - but I plumped for Mateta. Reason: however good the defence, it needs the rarest of players, which is a forward who makes defenders cower as he grabs the ball, goes forward and can hold the ball if needed. And then he scores. A solid defence gives you at least the draw but the goalscorer gives you the win. But the real winner is every Palace player working as a single unit.

    Jo: I'm picking Munoz for his consistency in every match and his incredible level of energy. One of the best signings we've had.

    Sean: Munoz has to be the player of the season - but I did give a lot of thought to voting for Will Hughes, who has been brilliant ever since Adam Wharton turned up - almost as if he was inspired by him!

    Sam: So many heroes this year that it seems unfair to pick one but Munoz has been completely dependable throughout. A complete player who always gives absolutely everything. Henderson should have had the cup final man of the match, but Munoz is the player of the season.

    Stanis: Across the whole season, our four consistently highest performers have been Munoz, Sarr, Maxence Lacroix and either Hughes or Henderson. I'd give it to Sarr... just!

    Liverpool have lost just one of their past 15 Premier League games against Crystal Palace (W12 D2), though it was in this fixture last season.

    Palace's past four Premier League wins against Liverpool have come at Anfield, winning 1-0 last season.

    When finishing the season at home, the Premier League champions have won their final match on 13 out of the last 14 occasions. The only exception was Manchester United losing against West Ham in 2006-07.

    Palace have won on just one of the 12 occasions their final top-flight match of the season has been away from home, beating Manchester City 3-2 in 1972-73.

  12. Glasner on team news, high team moral and Liverpoolpublished at 14:30 BST 23 May

    Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's final Premier League game of the season against Liverpool (kick-off 16:00 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Marc Guehi will miss the trip to Anfield because of his eye injury, while Adam Wharton remains unavailable with concussion.

    • Nathaniel Clyne and Ben Chilwell are doubts as they have both missed training due to illness.

    • On finishing the season on a high after winning the FA Cup: "Everybody has looked good in training. We were in a great mood again today. Everybody's laughing, maybe we didn't have the highest intensity in training, but it's also a three-game week for us."

    • He said the performance against Wolves showed "the attitude and the character of this group" because it was a quick turn around from the final and the celebrations.

    • On the trip to Anfield: "It's when the league winner meets the FA Cup winner so it's a great ending to the season. I also have to give a big congratulations to Liverpool and Arne Slot for an amazing season and a well-deserved title."

    • When asked about their celebratory mini-trip to Ibiza, Glasner joked: "What happened in Ibiza stays in Ibiza!"

    • On contract talks, given he only has one year left on his current deal: "I have just been talking about the future, and what we are planning, so I am 100 per cent committed to those plans. I have no thoughts about something different. I have no influence on all the rumours. I don't really care. I always try to focus on the things I can influence."

  13. Tuchel gives clarity on squad omissions published at 12:08 BST 23 May

    England boss Thomas Tuchel was asked about the omissions of Crystal Palace duo Adam Wharton and Marc Guehi after announcing his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Andorra and friendly against Senegal.

    Tuchel said: "It's not Adam Wharton v Jordan Henderson, what Henderson brings in the moment to the group an under-21 player can not bring - it's just impossible from the personality, the experience.

    "We made Adam train with us in the last camp and he was with the Under-21s and he trained with us and was very, very good. At the moment there's a little injury problem, a concussion protocol going on from the FA Cup final".

    He also said that players like Wharton, who could play a role for the senior team, have an opportunity to be leaders with the Under-21s and are players they "hopefully will rely on".

    England's Under 21s squad is set to be announced at 14:00 GMT.

    As BBC Sport's Sami Mokbel reported earlier Marc Guehi was omitted from the squad due to the eye injury he suffered during the FA Cup final.

    Tuchel confirmed this: "Marc was normally meant to be with us of course. The specialist told us not to take the risk."

    Marc Guehi's omission from the England squad is connected to the eye injury he suffered during the FA Cup final.

    BBC Sport can reveal that England manager Thomas Tuchel phoned the Guehi on Thursday to explain that he didn't want to risk re-injuring the defender's eye.

    Tuchel made clear to the Crystal Palace captain that he remains vital to his plans, but felt he needed to focus on recovering from the issue.

    Guehi spent Saturday night in hospital with a suspected fractured eye socket, though tests later confirmed he had escaped a crack and the injury was severe bruising.
