Gerhard Tremmel is across sharply to push away a curling Sebastian Larsson free-kick, but Sunderland, 3-1 down to Swansea, have struggled to carve out clear-cut chances.

More on that Shola Ameobi red card - he was actually booked twice in about five seconds. Phl Dowd ending the season in 'no nonsense' mode.

Nick, Hampshire: 15 years ago I saw my beloved Bristol Rovers draw home and away with Man City in the old Division Two. Now Rovers have been relegated out of the league for the first time in 84 years while Man City are on the brink of their second Premier League title in two years. How times change.

John Bentley:, external That's a bit more like it! Come on Liverpool, finish with pride.

Paul Walmsley:, external The dream is on, Liverpool! Come on you Hammers!

Ryan Crombleholme:, external City have to be careful. This is the Premier League, where the impossible is possible...

If only it was 0-0 at City we would have a thoroughly tense last half-hour.

As it is, City are still cruising. Liverpool need West Ham to score three times and they haven't had a shot on target yet.

City have a good chance instead, Sergio Aguero miscuing from a Pablo Zabaleta cutback. Here comes Fernandinho on for Edin Dzeko.

Jack Wilshere is on for Arsenal to make his first appearance after an injury lay-off that has kept him out of action since the start of March.

The England man is chasing about gamely after coming on for Aaron Ramsey. His side lead 2-0 against Norwich.

Oh Shola Ameobi!

What a way to get sent off. He is shown two yellow cards for dissent in as many minutes, complaining about both goals I think. What a way to end your Newcastle career...

Hello!

Liverpool detect a weakness in Newcastle's defending of set-pieces and immediately exploit it again, scoring a second goal in as many minutes. Again it's a Steven Gerrard free-kick to the back stick and this time Daniel Sturridge taps in.

"A lot of people are having a go at Liverpool but they have made this title race - nobody would have backed them to go on that 11-match unbeaten run. It's not been a disappointing season for Liverpool. But it has been for Chelsea. Jose Mourinho is no longer the special one, he's just the ordinary one now. I'd be interested to see what kind of a report he has on himself because he needs to look in the mirror."

Adnan Januzaj is bundled over by Southampton's Luke Shaw. A Manchester United penalty? No, but maybe it should have been. Still 1-1 at St Mary's.

Over at White Hart Lane, Sandro is substituted by Tim Sherwood. There's a little handshake between the two and a wry smile from the Tottenham manager. Playing up to the cameras? Tim? Never. 3-0 to the Spurs.

It's in there! Liverpool have their 100th league goal of the season - the first time they have managed that since 1896 - and it's Daniel Agger who finds the net.

Steven Gerrard whips in a free-kick and Agger shows great athleticism to hook it in on the stretch at the far post. Not much celebration from the Dane but Brendan Rodgers enjoyed it.

Fulham draw level with Hugo Rodallega showing the awareness to turn away from a blind alley and a crowd of Palace defenders to square for Cauley Woodrow to slip inside and hit a firm shot into the corner with his left foot. That is his first for the club.

It just looks strange, seeing Carl Jenkinson peeling away at the front of the Arsenal celebration conga. The full-back has his first for the club after taking a swipe with his left peg from close range and coming up cherries.

"There's been a lot of pressure on Manuel Pellegrini. A lot of people wondered whether, if he failed to win the league, he'd keep his job. Incredible really. But he's done brilliantly, his team have evolved through the season and they deserve to take the title."

BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Etihad Stadium

"Etihad Stadium is bouncing following that second Manchester City goal. Cries of "Champione, Champione" echo around the ground for the first time today, quickly followed by the first trademark 'Poznan' celebration of the afternoon from the home fans. That Steven Gerrard chant just got another airing too, followed by a very loud 'Are you watching Merseyside'. I suspect Liverpool fans probably switched off a while ago, but Everton supporters are enjoying it as much as the City fans."

Oooof! Heavy touch followed by heavy challenge from Martin Demichelis. A real hard hit on Stewart Downing, and the Argentine goes into the book.

Warm applause as Joe Allen trots off for Liverpool, to be replaced by Philippe Coutinho. No World Cup place for him by the way - he didn't make the cut for the Brazil squad.

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Etihad Stadium

"Manchester City fans never take anything for granted but there was a definite sense of a party starting as Vincent Kompany's shot hit the back of the net. This has been the performance of a team that has learned from the harrowing afternoon two years ago when they almost lost the title against QPR on the final day."

"Liverpool will have to pore over this season to see how they got it wrong tactically. The full-backs are constantly flying forward which is fine in possession but they are left too exposed and there are massive gaps at the back. Rodgers has to adjust his tactics. Perhaps one of the midfielders will drop back and support Gerrard in that nightwatchman role."
