  1. CLOSE!published at 20:54 British Summer Time 7 May 2014

    A great ball over the top just runs away from Edin Dzeko as the Manchester City striker tries to control it and set off on a clear run at goal. Is it going to be one of those nights?

    "If you watch City, they don't have many shots. On the edge of the box if you hit one it could go anywhere but City don't seem to want to do that."

    Sameer Bari:, external As a Chelsea fan, I'd love to see Manchester City draw tonight. It's going to be a cracker on the final day then.

    Charlie Newman:, external Forget Van Gaal, Gus Poyet to Man Utd!!

    Paul Winn:, external As a Liverpool fan I don't think I could take a draw today. Will be even more heart-wrenching because of Monday's result.

  6. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 7 May 2014

    Spanish La Liga - Real Valladolid 0-1 Real Madrid (20:00 BST)

    With talisman Cristiano Ronaldo consigned to the bench after that earlier injury (see 20:15), Real Madrid have lacked a cutting edge as they aim to close the gap on leaders Atletico Madrid.

    But they do have a vital half-time lead - thanks to free-scoring defender Sergio Ramos.

    The Spain centre-back, after four goals in his last three games, fancies his chances as set-piece expert in the Portuguese superstar's absence and duly obliges by pinging a 25-yard free-kick into the roof of the Valladolid net.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:48 British Summer Time 7 May 2014

    West Brom make two changes for the second half, with Youssouf Mulumbu and Craig Dawson on for Claudio Yacob and Steven Reid. Back under way at the Stadium of Light.

  8. Manager of the year debatepublished at 20:47 British Summer Time 7 May 2014

    Tim, via text: Can't believe Steve Bruce hasn't been mentioned more for manager of the year. FA Cup final, Premier League safety and Europe!!!

    Neil in Chipping Warden, via text: Re. Stephen in Aberdeen, what do you mean? Palace were a championship squad. Tony Pulis for MOTY.

    Scott in Burgess Hill, via text: Re: Stephen... You look at the trophies the Sunderland players have won compared to Palace. Pulis has done a much better job, Sunderland shouldn't really have been where they were.

  9. As it standspublished at 20:45 British Summer Time 7 May 2014

    Sorry to keep doing this to you Norwich fans, but for those who might not already know... Sunderland's 2-0 lead against West Brom means that, as it stands, the Canaries are all but relegated to the Championship.

    Ken Clarke:, external Having watched Sunderland lose 5-0 at Spurs and looking less than committed I am stunned by their run of games. Well done Gus.

    Alfie Cleave:, external Gus Poyet is working absolute wonders, dead and buried five games ago, now staying up, what a boy.

    James Oxley:, external Houdini would be proud of what Poyet has pulled off at Sunderland.

    Hull City goalkeeper Steve Harper at the Stadium of Light: "West Brom have tried to play through Sunderland, who have eight or nine back. Sunderland are very, very deserving of their lead."

    BBC Sport's David Ornstein at Etihad Stadium

    "There may be a spot of anxiety in the crowd, but City and their manager look calm and confident. A point tonight is not the end of the world, but City will obviously want all three to ease their nerves going into the final day of the season. As for Villa, they've parked more than one bus, with all 11 men behind the ball on many occasions - but they have shown glimpses of quality on the counter-attack and should not be discounted."

    Turkish Cup

    Roberto Mancini will forever be remembered by Manchester City fans as the man who delivered the club's first major trophy in 35 years with the 2011 FA Cup (and guiding them to the Premier League a year later obviously). Now he has another domestic cup medal to stick on his mantelpiece.

    The Italian's Galatasaray side have won the Turkish Cup final against Eskisehirspor thanks to Netherlands midfielder Wesley Sneijder grabbing the only goal of the match.

    Mancini has also won the Coppa Italia with three different clubs - Fiorentina, Lazio and Inter Milan. That's what you call a cup specialist.

    French Ligue 1

    No-one likes a party pooper - but Rennes seem to be intent on ruining Paris St-Germain's title celebrations.

    Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi lifted the roof off the Parc Des Princes with an early opener for PSG, who became champions after Monaco drew against Guingamp. But Rennes have hit back twice before the half-hour mark to lead.

    BBC Final Score

    Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic on Final Score: "It is an interesting choice. He is a big character, a big name and I think people will be in with a shock because he loves to be his own man and have things his own way. It is a puzzling choice because I don't see a long-term picture. What is the thinking about it?"

    "How badly are Manchester United handling this? They handled the Moyes sacking badly but the world and his wife know this. This is absolutely ridiculous. If you are Ed Woodward and in charge of this you say to Van Gaal you can bring three guys with you because we are keeping these guys."

  19. Man Utd latestpublished at 20:37 British Summer Time 7 May 2014

    Asked about the status of negotiations with the Old Trafford club, Louis van Gaal said: "You have to wait and see when the club decides, but it's always the same - it's always a process and you have to wait for the process, the press are always too fast."

    BBC sports news correspondent

    "It will not be long before United confirm Louis van Gaal as their manager. I understand he may hold a press conference about United on Wednesday. He is a man who you tread carefully around. It is clear he wants the job and while he may be playing it down, it is pretty clear it is a matter of time."
