Liverpool need more Premier League titles to say that they sat comfortably alongside Manchester City.

The Leeds fans have responded enthusiastically whenever any of their players have gone over to them in the far corner.

I am anticipating a lot of noise from them today.

Liverpool fans are realistic about the prospects of winning the title today, but there is always that 'if'. It will be a bit of a rollercaster ride whatever happens.

I'm tense for starters so goodness knows what is like for the home fans, they could be put through the wringer here today.

Manchester City have won nine of their past 10 Premier League games against Aston Villa, including the past six in a row. Their last defeat came at Villa Park in September 2013 (2-3).

Aston Villa have won just one of their 21 Premier League away games against the league leaders (D3 L17), beating Leeds United 2-1 in January 2000.

Bruno Lage points out occasionally that he’s a positive person, so he might well stress to his team that they can influence the Premier League's history at Anfield, and be more than a footnote.

There’s plenty of precedent this season to prove that they can do it, not least in the reverse fixture at Molineux in December, when Wolves defied a Liverpool team that was in full flood at that stage of the campaign until almost the last kick.

And that wasn’t the only occasion on which Wolves made life difficult for more fancied teams. Unfortunately, those performances feel like quite a while ago now. Wolves supporters, understandably, had begun to enjoy the idea that their team could not only push the top clubs hard in an individual game, but were matching and threatening to top their pandemic peak and barge into the top six.

Not only has that not happened, as their overstretched squad was frayed by injuries, but the flowing, ambitious football promised by Lage - and glimpsed in some of their earlier showings - also faltered.

Misfiring up front was tolerable so long as Wolves remained granite-hard in defence. When that too began to fail, their European chance faded, and the disappointment has weighed down the supporters for the past few weeks.

They reach the final game certain of a top-half finish and well ahead of last season’s outcome, but with at least a section of fans just as unhappy as a year ago.

What happens at Anfield on Sunday will matter a great deal to the rest of the world, but for Wolves the focus is on next season, and in particular what they will do between now and then to be better equipped.

A return to their proud, hard-to-beat best this weekend would at least cheer their fans before what could be a nervous summer.

Liverpool have won each of their past 10 Premier League games against Wolves, including eight clean sheets, since a 1-0 home loss in December 2010 under Roy Hodgson.

You need to focus on the journey, the process and what Liverpool do week in, week out. Their success is winning games of football week in, week out and getting to the Champions League final.

If City win the league, Klopp can’t look back and say he’s really disappointed with the lads for not doing what he wanted, because they have. It just so happens that City will have been that little bit better this season.

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard said his "phone has been busy" as his could play a huge role in the destination of the title.

The former Liverpool captain never won the Premier League while at Anfield.

"I totally understand and respect the external noise and questions that have been coming my way for some time.

"Liverpool are involved in a title race and I spent a lot of time there. But it is disappointing when people mention integrity with me and Aston Villa and any of my players.

"We will go out there and give it everything we have got to get points for Aston Villa. If that inevitably helps Liverpool, fantastic.

"But my priority is to get points for Aston Villa."

This fixture on the final day of the season evokes some strong memories in recent years, for differing reasons.

In 2017, the Gunners missed out on Champions League qualification for the first time in 20 years despite beating the Toffees 3-1. They haven't reached the top four since.

And in happier times, who can forget that incredible strike from Tony Adams to clinch the title at their old stadium, Highbury, in 1998. Worthy of a statue in itself!

In various forms, I have heard or seen warnings for fans to stay off the pitch about half a dozen times so far.

Brentford say they want their players to do a lap of honour after the game - they certainly deserve one.

After the events of recent days, I think virtually everyone would echo the club's request.

For Newcastle, who could still end the season in the top half for the first time in four seasons, they will just be relieved there is no jeopardy for them today.

It didn't look like being the case a few months ago. When Steve Bruce was sacked in October, 13 days after the Saudi Arabia-backed £305m takeover was completed, Newcastle were 19th, in the relegation zone and below today's opponents Burnley.

Even Eddie Howe's arrival didn't see an instant transformation and after 14 matches of the campaign they were winless and bottom with only seven points before a 1-0 win over Burnley in December got them up and running.

A home FA Cup humiliation against third-tier Cambridge was another low point, but Howe was then able to spend £85m in the January transfer window - on full-back Kieran Trippier, striker Chris Wood, midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and centre-half Dan Burn (with full-back Matt Targett also joining on loan) - and the transformation has been incredible.

In their last 17 Premier League matches, they have won 11 of them to vanish any fears of the drop and leave Newcastle fans dreaming of what might come their way in the next few seasons.

Indeed, only Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham have picked up more Premier League points in 2022 than Newcastle's 35. Will they end a turbulent season on a high note?

Eddie Howe says he doesn't want his Newcastle players to play "under unnecessary pressure" next season, as attention now turns to the club's potential summer signings.

"I want my squad to be confident and ambitious," said Howe.

"They have to believe in big things but we have to set targets internally because we also have to manage expectation.

"We don't want them to play under unnecessary pressure which hampers our performance."

Newcastle produced what Howe considered to be their best performance of the season so far in Monday's 2-0 win over Arsenal, a result which kept alive hopes of finishing in the top half of the table.

"I think in terms of performance that's the highest standard we've reached," he said.

"That will be the marker we judge ourselves against now, knowing we're capable of delivering that.

"We have to get close to those levels, if not surpass them, on a consistent basis.

"I was very proud of the performance and what the players had delivered, and very proud of the club for how it's united together in our fight to stay in the division.

"I really enjoyed seeing everyone happy."

Burnley

Burnley forward Ashley Barnes says that referees "want us gone" from the Premier League.

The 17th-placed Clarets are effectively certain of avoiding relegation if they beat Newcastle at home on Sunday (16:00 BST).

They are level on points with Leeds, who are 18th, but Burnley's goal difference is 20 better.

"In recent seasons people look at us and think we're a hard team, being ugly," 32-year-old Barnes said.

"No disrespect, I think people, even referees, want us gone from the league."

Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank speaking to Sky Sports:

"It's been a remarkable season in many ways, it could put a big cherry on the cake to finish the season with a win in front of our home fans. We will do our best to make sure we win."

On whether rivalry with Leeds will affect players: "I haven't asked them. I have spoken to Pontus [Jansson] because he has a big history with Leeds. The main thing for us is to go out and win and finish the season strong.

"[Christian] Norgaard has been a vital part to the way we performed this season. He has a minor injury unfortunately, he would've played but [Vitaly] Janelt coming in is good, he has been fantastic every time he has come in.

"I hope the fans are loud and enjoy it today."

Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani has been by the side of the pitch for quite a lot of the build-up so far, either talking on his phone or chatting to staff.

He is smiling a lot, suggesting he is pretty relaxed. But he is also clutching his water bottle quite tightly, so looks may be deceptive.

After 16 years out of the top flight to be going back down after two would be a major blow.

“They are privileged to play for you.”

Shankly’s words adorn the door of The Sandon - a local watering hole for Kopites.

Few of a red persuasion would argue this group of players haven’t spent everything this year. And yet it still may not get the job done, such is the relentless nature of Guardiola’s boys in blue.

There is widespread hope at Anfield though. The streets are busier than for any other game this season. One man stands in the road with a sign reading ‘I need a ticket.’

This week the usual sources have run dry. What’s App groups, Facebook groups, friends, family - spares are not on offer.

One more league game ladies and gents. Whoever you follow and wherever you watch, enjoy the privilege.

Liverpool fans are certainly hoping that their final-day title hopes will be alive for more than 83 seconds.

That was the case in 2019 when the Reds needed Manchester City to slip up to have a chance of winning and there was hope when Pep Guardiola's side fell behind in their game against Brighton.

That hope lasted for about as long as it takes to warm up a microwavable pie, however, as Sergio Aguero soon equalised and City went on to win 4-1.

By coincidence, Liverpool also hosted Wolves on that final day and although they won 2-0 it was not enough and the away fans took great joy in chanting "you nearly won the league".

A couple of fans I spoke to just now are not allowing themselves to believe, using that 2019 final day as a cautionary tale.
