    Romelu Lukau has a shot, deflected off the shins of Ron Vlaar and inches wide...

    So nervy for Sunderland. Steve Davis crosses from the right but Filip Duricic is crowded out just eight yards goal from goal.

    "Only Steven Gerrard could do this, he misses a penalty at the Kop end and then five minutes later he does a brilliantly timed run, the ball is whipped in and he puts a bullet header to Rob Green's far post."

    It's now or never Burnley. A trip to Bristol City awaits unless they can start winning right now. Into the last few moments at Upton Park where Cheikhou Kouyate has a shot hacked off the line...

    A bit of keep ball by Sunderland and Jack Rodwell hits the outside of the post from a ridiculously tight angle. Less than three minutes left.

    Standing ovation at Anfield as Steven Gerrard comes off to be replaced by Lucas.

    Time to start the party for the Burton fans, as their team are going up as League Two champions. The leaders, who started the day two points clear, are drawing 2-2 at Cambridge, but second-placed Shrewsbury remain 2-0 behind at home to Plymouth.

    As it stands, Bury are taking the third promotion place with Southend and Wycombe in the play-offs, along with Stevenage and Plymouth.

    Southampton are coming forward with Sunderland happy to hang on to what they have got. Can they though?

    What was I saying?! Steven Gerrard does score at the Kop End for, who knows, perhaps the final time.

    Liverpool make the extra man count as Gerrard thumps in an unstoppable header from Philippe Coutinho's left-wing corner.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:44 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    A double switch for Sunderland.

    Adam Johnson replaces Jermain Defoe and plays for the first time since being charged with three counts of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.

    And Jack Rodwell is on for Seb Larsson. Into the last five minutes.

  11. Postpublished at 16:43 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Burnley have failed to score in seven of their last eight Premier League matches before today and netted only one in the other game.

    Spot a pattern?

  12. RED CARD FOR STOKEpublished at 16:42 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    A first red card of the season for the Potters as Marc Wilson receives a second yellow card for fouling Jefferson Montero.

    Final Score

    "It's hard to see Burnley getting out of the relegation zone at this rate. QPR have given themselves a chance but Leicester have got momentum and will get out of it - Hull too. Sunderland are winning, and on current form Newcastle could be the ones to get sucked in as well."

    "Who would have thought it - Liverpool have a chance to go 2-1 up and Steven Gerrard hits a decent penalty but Rob Green gets over and makes a really good save. Gerrard will be devastated."

  15. Postpublished at 16:39 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Chance for Southampton. Nathaniel Clyne bursts down the right, pulls the ball back to Graziano Pelle, but the striker misses his kick and the ball is in the hands of goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon.

    Sunderland will be a point adrift of safety with a game in hand over some of their rivals as results stand. Their fate is in their own hands.

  16. RED CARDpublished at 16:39 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Nedum Onuoha has had a poor few minutes. Fresh from giving away a cheap penalty he scythes down Jordon Ibe on the halfway line - needless - and that's a second yellow. Don't ask John Carver what he thought of that one...

  17. PENALTY SAVEDpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    A season too far? Steven Gerrard's Liverpool career continues to fade away rather than burn out as he sees a tame penalty saved by Rob Green, diving to his left. The Kop remains quiet...

    Sunderland are looking nervy at the back. A few misplaced passes are giving the visitors hope.

    The fans are edgy and the players are edgy. This is a massive last 15 minutes for the Black Cats.

  19. PENALTY to LIVERPOOLpublished at 16:35 British Summer Time 2 May 2015

    Nedum Onuoha pulls over Martin Skrtel - penalty!

    "The corner comes in and Leroy Fer makes really good contact and it flies in past Mignolet. He was totally unmarked on the penalty spot. Liverpool will rue their missed chances in the second-half from Sterling and Lallana and QPR are back in it."
