Final games of the season and we see some very important games, the league will be decided, Chelsea need to win against Spurs if Newcastle do the same v Stoke, Liverpool and Aston Villa fight it out for 4th place and relegation can go right down to the wire to see who joins Man Utd in the Championship, kick off 15 mins away..

Kick Off 3pm

Here we go.....................

1502 Stoke off to a wonderful start, a great ball in by Anderson and Belotti rises about Pepe and heads home an early goal

1504 Another early goal this time at Anfield, Carassco and Griezmann linking well with the latter hammering home from 12 yards, Chelsea on top early but Spurs holding there line well

1507 Leicester putting pressure on Man City but a great tackle by Walace on Thiago stops him in his tracks, Wolves on top v Man Utd who are already down, not a lot happening at The Emirates

1510 Spurs are unlucky there a great effort from Barkley just over the bar, Griezmann almost doubles Liverpools lead but Cech makes a fine save. Hull holding out well also and closing Villa down giving them no time on the ball

1513 Wolves! and Lacazette, a fantastic goal which takes them out of the relegation zone and City into it, City better get a move on, Birmingham also in the game at Anfield with Jesus going close..

1515 Chelsea well on top Aguero and Neymar both going close in the last few minutes, one wide and Forster saving well, Arsenal putting pressure on the Portsmouth backline but no way through atm, Newcastle after the early shock of going behind are in this game and looking likely to score next

1517 Theres the sucker punch, after all the early pressure Chelsea go behind, a silly free kick given away by Vidal in a dangerous spot, Willian steps up and drives it over the wall and passed De Gea - 1-0 Spurs

1520 Hull go close, Toljan down the left, quick one two with Forsberg but the fullback smashes high and wide, Mandzukic close for Portsmouth, Newcastle living dangerously, they are attacking at will v Stoke but leaving massive gaps at the back, Man City have an attack but Icardi well off target

Both Chelsea and Newcastle losing, both finding the pressure too much? Can Leicester exploit this?

1523 Hull close there, Milik's header just over, Jesus causing the Liverpool back line all sorts of problems but the finish is just not there yet, Leicester have all the ball but up against a very well organised City team

1525 who would have envisaged this, with nothing to play for Stoke City have doubled their lead! and its that man Belotti again, alovely move and final ball from Coutinho, his drive into the box met by a sliding Belotti and its 2-0 and just on that Chelsea equalise, Aguero gets the equaliser after Alli and Neymar break the lines of defence and Aguero finishes it off as he does

1528 Newcastle have to get into this game somehow, they ar epushing Stoke further back but there young defence is just soaking it up and holding firm Higauin and Lewandowski both going close at The Emirates and Man Utd have a chance which Ter Stegen saves well from Morata

1531 Drama at Molineux, Howedes very lucky to remain on the pitch, a nasty looking challenge on Eriksen, he survives however and both stay on the pitch. Leicester dominating still but still cant make the breakthrough, Ndidi blasts over from distance for Spurs, Sule and Co doing very well for Hull also

1534 Ouch almost 3-0 for Stoke their, Newcastle pushing up Paredes nicking rhe ball off Krychowiak, he plays it into Belotti but the striker blows it, nothing to report at Anfield, they cant sit on a 1-0 lead for another hour surely?

1537 At the Emirates and that man Gabbiadini with a powerful run and shot underneath an on rushing Keylor Navas, that goal sees Stoke and Portsmouth change places in the league so indee Stoke do have something to play for after all!

1540 Newcastle at last back in this game and Suarez with his 83rd goall of the season, Ozil dancing his way round Savic and playing the striker in between Stokes back 10 and the goalkeeper, Suarez rounds Rulli and slots it home, game on!

1542 Chelsea dominating but finding Kompany and van Dijk a hard barrier to break down again, Wolves go close but Leno saves well from Lacazette, Leicester getting closer but still City defending very well as a back 8 sometimes!

1544 Lewandowski for Portmsouth, a great feekick whipped in by Kevin de Bruyne, Lewandowski doesn't need to be asked twice to bury those sort of chances and its the equaliser for Portsmouth, Newcastle close to an equaliser as well but Suarez shot is weak and Rulli gatehrs comfortably

1545 Half Time and as it stands Chelsea are champions, Brum are down and Liverpool get the 4th spot

All to play for so here goes, second half kick offs around the grounds!!

1600 Beep, we're off

1602 Newcastele must have had a right kick in the gonads at halftime, what a start they have made, Mane down the right, he switches it to Firmoino on the left, Mane continues his run into the box, Firmonio then plays it back to him and Mane smashes home into the roof of the net!

1604 its all level at the top! Ndidi for Spurs to take the lead at Stamford Bridge a weak header out by Manolas straight to Ndidi and he makes no mistake, no hesitation he just batters it back goal wards, De Gea just watches it go passed him and into the back of the net, what a strike, what a goal, level at the top

1607 Arsenal and Portsmouth taking it easy atm, neither really on top, Hully youngsters starting brightly this half and go close through a Sule header from a corner, Jesus again going close for Brum and City still holding out

1609 The warning signs were ther for Liverpool, are they taking this game too lightly? Well Brum certainly aren't, Jesus who went close just moments before has equalised, James playing him in he goes passed Luiz like he isn't there Courtois off his line and Jesus plays the ball round him and into the net 1-1 at Anfield!

1612 As it stands now Man City are back in the relegation zone and Brum move out of it with that goal, which also gives Aston Villa hope of catching Liverpool!

1615 And just on cue, Aston Villa are into 4th, A wonderful individual goal by Arjen Robben, he burst down the right leaving Toljan for dead, he cuts inside and with one powerful drive he almosts bursts the back of the net, Horn was left stranded, what a wonderful solo effort by Robben!

1618 Wolves doing everything in there power to stay up, Man Utd don't look at all interested in this today, Lacazette with his second of the day, beating the offside trap and another assist from Herrear, just the Keeper to beat and he does so easily 2-0 Wolves surely game over at Molineux

1621 Leicester are having no luck today, but City to be fair are fighting for there lives, Spurs almost take a 2 goal lead but De Gea tips over, Newcastle all over Stoke atm but also finding it hard against a well organised defence

1624 At Molineux - Howedes is off, just as Morata was about to pull the trigger, The big German hauls him back, cynical, pointless and a Penalty, what a stupid, stupid boy

1625 Well placed Penalty by Morata himself, Utd back in it, Wolves reshuffle, they aint out the shiete yet, stupid German

1628 Liverpool back in front, the introduction of Pedro has added much needed pace and energy, he crosses in for Aubameyang, he makes nop mistyakes there, boom 2-1 Liverpool, not much from Chelsea this half apart from a couple of tame efforts by Aguero and Sanchez

Its getting tense as fck round the grounds

1630 Portsmouth having a good spell at The Emirates they look more interested atm, Arsenal dreaming of Bognor Regis, Subs around the grounds being made as teams enter the final 15 minutes of the season and still all to play for for some teams!

1633 Mbappe and Dybala linking well for Chelsea, there pace really hurting the Spurs back line, Mbappe hit the bar with his effort but Dybala reacting first side foots it home, this puts Chelsea 1 pt clear of Newcastle with just over 10 to go!

1634 Fck me it tense

1636 doesn't effect the standings as such buyt Ill tell you anyway, Lewandowski gets his second, a slip by De Vrij allows the striker to nip in, and give him a chance and 9 times out of 10 its a goal 2-1 Portsmouth. Liverpool pushing to extend there lead by Cech pulls off a great save, Chelsaea and Newcastle both pushing forward, but leaving gaps!. Leicester go close through Costa but not much else, Hull/Villa seem to have just given up the ghost and both look ready to come off

1639 Newcastle! Kane, Kane, Kane has he clinched the title for Newcastle? Just a punt from Godin, a fckin Punt could give them the title, anyway Kane took it down well round Mammana, slammed in route fckin one but its in Newcastle are top of the league with 5 to go! Chelsea and Fan hear the news and go all out attack now!

1641 Chelsea going close Dybala fluffs his lines tho and Forster gathers easily, Newcastle sitting back living dangerously just as we speak Leicester score, finally, Costa header, he left Mustafi for dead, they have defended resolutely, but is this a goal to far to come back from its far too late Costa goal crossed in by Cesc.....can they come back from the dead, City are down.....or are they....

1644 Chelsea going close again, all out just pressing Spurs back, can they score again...have they bottled it? City pushing for a goal but it just aint happening..Newcastle living very dangerously.....

1646 Full time at The Emirates, Full time at The KC

1647 No Goal, its offside, Man City score late, its offside tho, how unlucky, no its not offside seeing replays, Icardi onside but its chopped off, a dodgy desicion sending City down?

1648 GOAL, GOAL, GOAL they have blown it, they were sitting back, now they have blown it, Stoke City, Kovacic, they have only gone and equalised, the title has been ripped away from Tranq and Newcastle, only them selves to blame, Kovacic with the shot, it stings the hands of Lloris, its not enough its over the line and that's the equaliser, its 3-3 surely no time now?

1650 Full Time everwhere its all over Chelsea are Champions again, Man City have joined Man Utd in the relegation zone, Liverpool pip Aston Villa for 4th..!

I'm more interested in Birmingham subs, they bring on Depay for Brozovic who isn't even in their squad
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seeing as Brozovic Is injured I'll pull a sneaky one and play with 12 players on the pitch. The ref won't notice it!

They'll be back for year 10.

Does that mean any Utd and City youngsters not in the league will be fair game?
