A sparsely populated Villa Park because of a fans' protest which sees them not arrive in their seats until the seventh minute.

Those who are there have seen the home side have the best chance so far, as Idrissa Gana Gueye strikes an effort over the bar from the edge of the area.

First chance of the afternoon comes for the hosts as Graziano Pelle gets on to the end of a header from a corner but he can only head straight at Karl Darlow in the Newcastle net. 

Norwich are wearing a particularly unattractive combo of their three green and yellow kits this afternoon, the shorts have no place going with that shirt! A Norwich win could relegate Aston Villa but also drag Palace right into the mire.

It's Palace who make the fastest start though, forcing a few corners. 

And we are under way!

That's at least three Everton fans who are making a protest at Vicarage Road this afternoon...

The teams are coming out around the grounds now - all set?

Aston Villa

After a woeful season, Aston Villa can be relegated from the top flight this afternoon.

The easiest way to sum it up is: if Norwich get a better result at Crystal Palace than Villa manage at home to Bournemouth, then it's hello Championship to Villa Park. 

Five minutes til kick-off.

Race still on for Premier League title/Champions League/survival?

Craig Andrew Smith: Over to you #Leicester, external and #Spurs, external, #Arsenal, external faint title hopes have ended. Another game and season where they have crumbled.

Dan Bell: Looks like 2 horse race now, Arsenal blow it again.

Steve: Whether West Ham make fourth or not, it's been a fantastic season. Billic is far from a novice, but what a debut PL season! It's a wonderful time to be a hammer.

Daniel Scott: As a @NUFC, external fan I'm hoping for an Ecclestone intervention and double points apply to the last game of the season.

Garth Crooks
Former Spurs striker on Final Score

“This has been a bonkers season, there will still be twists and turns. Let’s not dispose of Arsene Wenger just yet. Let’s see what Leicester and Spurs do.”  

Goalkeeper Asmir Begovic gets the nod over regular number one Thibaut Courtois for Chelsea today.

Rezaa Sait: I just realized that there's a possibility of three London clubs featuring in the Champions League next season. Wow.

McInnery: Liverpool could do with such a strong centre forward as Carroll who is unplayable by virtually any defender in EPL...err...  

Raj Sidhu: I reckon if you told Arsenal fans they'd be above Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City at the end of the season, they would have taken it.

Garth Crooks
Former Spurs striker on Final Score

"The turning point for me was when the goal was disallowed, Manuel Lanzini’s goal was onside.

"Arsenal let two goals slip. If you lose a two-goal lead at this stage in the race, do you deserve to win the title?"

All over at Upton Park, what a game that was.

Andy Carroll's hat-trick for West Ham gains a point for the home side, who came back from two behind.

You would feel that is Arsenal's slim title hopes now over. Arsene Wenger shakes Slaven Bilic's hand and storms down the tunnel, the Frenchman is not happy.

Full reaction from that match to come.

Spanish La Liga

There's also plenty of action across Europe today as Barcelona bid to end the unlikeliest of losing streaks.

Barca go to Real Sociedad (19:30 BST kick-off), having lost four of their last five visits to the Basque side. In fact they have not won there since 2007 (with Sociedad having spent three years outside La Liga).

We will have live text commentary of that game - and Real Madrid v Eibar (15:00 BST) on this website. Check out our European football index for more

Crewe could be relegated from League One if they fail to beat rivals Port Vale - depending on results elsewhere. 

Leaders Wigan host Coventry, while second-laced Burton are at Scunthorpe. Walsall - in third - go to struggling Oldham.

Barnsley, the only team outside the top six with realistic promotion hopes, are at home to lowly neighbours Chesterfield - who are four places, but only two points, above the relegation zone. 

Blackpool face fellow strugglers Colchester, while 22nd-placed Doncaster go to Bury. Shrewsbury, also in the relegation mix, are at sixth-placed Millwall. Fleetwood go to Southend.

Fourth-placed Gillingham are at Sheffield United, and Bradford - in fifth - host freefalling Swindon.

Final Score

Final Score is now under way on the Red Button and at the top of this page.

Former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks and ex-England international Trevor Sinclair are the pairing that are describing the action.

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew says he wants more goals so brings in Dwight Gayle and sees Yohan Cabaye return from injury. Joe Ledley and Wilfried Zaha make way.

Norwich remain unchanged after their last-gasp win over Newcastle. After two wins a draw in their last three games, you can understand why.
