Where was this Man United team on Wednesday?

Manchester United are massively on top here, but they can't find the back of the net.

Rasmus Hojlund plays Amad Diallo in, and he has space in the box, but he fires wide.

Really, he should be scoring that.

OUR FIRST GOAL OF THE FINAL DAY AND IT'S THE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS WHO ARE BEHIND!

This wasn't in the Hollywood script - The Reds are behind again to the FA Cup winners.

Bradley's poor pass is intercepted by Mitchell, who spins on it and finds Sarr in behind a high Liverpool line.

The latter then shows brilliant composure to slot past the onrushing Alisson to prove Palace are truly the party poopers at Anfield.

Mason Mount should have Manchester United in the lead!

The former England international sees a strike stopped by Emiliano Martinez.

Patrick Dorgu then gets in down the left and lifts a cross into the box that Mount heads wide.

Martinez then has to make another stop to deny Bruno Fernandes.

Stuart Pearce on talkSPORT: "The interplay between Manchester United in the final third has been fantastic."

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi is back at the City Ground!

The forward suffered a horrendous abdominal injury against Leicester a couple of weeks ago that saw him put into an induced coma.

This followed life-saving surgery on the injury.

But he's out of his coma and is at the City Ground.

The crowd are delighted to see him and give him a top reception.

It's going to be a special day at Liverpool, the Reds will receive the Premier League trophy in front of a packed crowd at Anfield.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will also say farewell as a Liverpool player.

Plus, Jurgen Klopp is in attendance.

The German was at the Melwood training ground yesterday to meet Arne Slot for the first time and to be reunited with many old faces.

And he'll get to see Liverpool lift the Premier League for a second time.

Aston Villa are hoping to end today by securing a place in the Champions League.

However, there is a lot of speculation around Emiliano Martinez.

The Argentine was emotional after the win over Tottenham last week, sparking speculation that he'd played his final match as a Villan.

But Unai Emery is having none of it.

When asked if this would be Martinez's last match, he said: "No way!"

Nottingham Forest versus Chelsea is set up to be a winner-takes-all encounter.

As a result, both managers have made some difficult decisions.

Nuno Espirito Santo has elected to leave Callum Hudson-Odoi on the bench, but Murillo is fit.

Meanwhile, with Nicolas Jackson suspended, Pedro Neto leads the line.

At St James' Park, Alexander Isak has made a full recovery for Newcastle United to start against Everton.

The Toon's top scorer missed the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last weekend, but he's able to lead the line against Everton.

And at Craven Cottage, there is no farewell start for Kevin De Bruyne.

The Manchester City legend is on the bench.

We know Liverpool are going to get the Premier League trophy today, and we also know the three teams that are going down.

We also know that Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal have secured Champions League football for next season.

There are three places up for grabs, but two of Manchester City, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest will miss out.

There is also a Europa Conference League place up for grabs that will go to whoever finishes eighth.

It's in Brighton's hands but a defeat to Spurs and win for Brentford would change everything.

Southampton have confirmed the appointment of Will Still as the club's manager.

The 32-year-old Belgian-born head coach left his job at Lens earlier this month and wanted a return to England.

He replaces Ivan Juric as the club's full-time boss and has signed a three-year deal.

He is in attendance today for the club's game against Arsenal, and he can't wait to get started.

Speaking to the club's website, he said: “I’m extremely proud and excited to have joined Southampton – there is huge potential here and we have a great opportunity to do something special.

“The project that has been laid out to me is very impressive and, all together, I believe we can build a clear identity and a very positive future for the team.

“I can’t wait to meet you, the fans.

I look forward to hearing you in voice, and feeling the energy and belief at St Mary’s and beyond.

“I’m eager to get to work this summer and start building a close-knit group that can make everyone proud and ultimately get us back to where we belong; in the Premier League.”

Tottenham legend Robbie Keane revealed he had to get three stitches after guiding Ferencvaros to the Hungarian league title.

The Irishman's Ferencvaros side beat Gyor 2-1 to seal the club's 36th title and the retired striker's second in his management career.

The former Republic of Ireland international dove headfirst into the celebrations, which resulted in him accidentally hitting the trophy.

Keane - sporting a cut-up forehead - said in a video on his Instagram: "Hey guys.

Everyone keeps asking me what happened.

"I was lifting the trophy last night, and the back of it hit my head, so I had to get three stitches from the doctor."

"Who cares when you win?" Keane concluded.

Ryan Mason is the frontrunner to become the new West Brom manager, talkSPORT understands.

The Baggies are without a permanent boss following Tony Mowbray's departure last month.

James Morrison was placed in interim charge for the final two matches of the Championship season.

Former Queens Park Rangers manager Marti Cifuentes had previously been in the running alongside the Tottenham coach.

Mason now has the decision whether or not to head to the Hawthorns this summer.

The 33-year-old is currently an assistant manager to Ange Postecoglou at Spurs.

The Premier League title and relegation battles are over, but the Champions League race remains incredibly tight.

With just one game to go, the chase to seal a place in UEFA's top competition is as intense as ever.

As it stands, just three points are separating seventh and third, so it's going right down to the wire.

Kevin De Bruyne has agreed terms with Napoli, talkSPORT understands.

A deal to join the Serie A champions is not done yet, but a final decision over his future is expected next week.

De Bruyne will start next season as part of another club for the first time in 10 years as he departs Manchester City.

In April, the Belgian announced he would be leaving Man City when his contract expires at the end of this campaign.

Gary Neville won't be anywhere near the City Ground for the final game of the Premier League season on Sunday.

That's because Nottingham Forest have banned the Sky Sports pundit from their home ground.

Following the news, Neville then hit out at the 'disappointing' call from Forest on Instagram and labelled the ban an 'unprecedented action'.

Neville's co-host Jamie Carragher responded to his post with a series of laughing emojis, while David Beckham replied too.

In reference to a result in 1999, Beckham said: "Must have been something to do with that 7-1 game back in the day @gneville2 @manchesterunited."

A commentary team for Sky Sports will still be at the City Ground for the crunch clash, set to kick off at 4pm.

However, Sky will present the match from their studios in west London rather than from Forest's home ground, as had been intended.
