16.16: RED CARD (Joey Barton QPR)
Joey Barton is on his way to a long, long ban (probably). After being sent-off for elbowing Carlos Tevez, the midfielder then knees Sergio Aguero in the upper leg before then going for Vincent Kompany. Disgraceful scenes before he is eventually dragged off.

16.13: GOAL! West Brom 2-3 ARSENAL
Third is back in Arsenal's hands after Laurent Koscielny restores the Gunners lead following another Fulop howler.
AS IT STANDS:
3. Arsenal
4. Tottenham
5. Newcastle

16.10: GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 QPR
Who saw this coming?! Joleon Lescott's header back towards goal is beyond awful and Djibril Cisse latches on to it to fire low past Joe Hart. That changes EVERYTHING!
AS IT STANDS:
1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City

17. QPR
18. Bolton
19. Blackburn
20. Wolves

16.08: Bad news for Tottenham and maybe England ahead of Euro 2012? Kyle Walker has limped off with an ankle injury to be replaced by Ryan Nelsen.

16.05: One change to tell you about for Manchester City. Yaya Toure had to come off injured after the goal (which he set-up) and Nigel De Jong has replaced him.

16.04: Away we go again, how many more twists will we have in this Barclays Premier League season.
15.59: It's been a fairly open game at the Stadium of Light that Manchester United have just edged.
It's a different story at the Etihad Stadium though. Manchester City have been dominant and the only thing you can criticise them for at the moment is not creating enough chances given their possession.

15.54: Let's take check then. As it stands, Manchester City would win the Premier League title on goal difference.
Spurs would pip Arsenal to third by a point with Newcastle three points behind the Gunners in fifth.
And down at the bottom, Bolton would survive in the Premier League by one point at the expense of QPR.

15.49: Half times in the Premier League are coming in. Just Swansea and Liverpool still playing.

15.46: GOAL! Stoke 1-2 BOLTON
It's an absolute howler from Thomas Sorensen but Bolton won't care after the Danish stopper somehow drops Kevin Davies' cross into his own net. The Trotters' heads are back above water!
AS IT STANDS:
17. Bolton
18. QPR
19. Blackburn
20. Wolves

15.43: Drama at both ends of the table! Mark Davies equalises for Bolton but it gets better for the Trotters.
Pablo Zabaleta has fired Manchester City into the lead and not only does that put Roberto Mancini's side top but it puts Bolton's Premier League fate into their own hands.
AS IT STANDS:
1. Manchester City
2. Manchester United

17. QPR
18. Bolton

15.41: GOAL! MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 QPR
Breakthrough: Pablo Zabaleta races away in delight after firing Manchester City ahead

15.40: GOAL! Stoke 1-1 BOLTON
15.38: Great chance for Sunderland to equalise, but Fraizer Campbell's effort at full stretch just falls narrowly past the post.

15.37: GOAL! CHELSEA 2-0 Blackburn
The Blues are on their way to three points as Raul Meireles doubles the Blues' lead. Chelsea will finish sixth no matter what happens at Stamford Bridge today.

15.35: It's still all Manchester City but the home fans are getting nervous at the Etihad Stadium as their side struggle to break down the QPR defence.

15.33: GOAL! CHELSEA 1-0 Blackburn
A positive way for John Terry to end the season as he heads his side in front - the defender of course will miss the Champions League final.

15.31: GOAL! West Brom 2-2 ARSENAL
Gunners hopes restored after Andre Santos crashes home an equaliser from 25 yards.
AS IT STANDS:
3. Tottenham
4. Arsenal
5. Newcastle

15.30: GOAL! EVERTON 2-0 Newcastle
Well it doesn't look like the Toon are going to be getting a Champions League spot as Nikica Jelavic doubles the Toffees' lead.

15.27: Arsenal are well on top at West Brom, they are probably still feeling a sense of injustice from Shane Long's equaliser as they win a free-kick right on the edge of the box.

We're in front, now how long left? Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson looks at his watch

15.24: GOAL! Sunderland 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED
So United go top of the table as Wayne Rooney finishes from close range...over to you City who are dominating QPR. Meanwhile Simeon Jackson doubles Norwich's lead.
AS IT STANDS:
1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City

15.23: GOAL! NORWICH 2-0 Aston Villa
15.22: Controversial scenes at the Britannia Stadium as Jonathan Walters barges Adam Bogdan into the goal to hand Stoke the lead - that result would send Bolton down.

15.19: Right, let's recap. Goals from Franco Di Santo and Emmerson Boyce have put Wigan ahead.
Arsenal have fallen behind to a Shane Long strike, but the striker looked offside, before Graham Dorrans turned that game around too.
Newcastle are also behind to a Steven Pienaar strike - who is of course on loan from Spurs.
AS IT STANDS:
3. Tottenham
4. Arsenal
5. Newcastle

15.12: GOAL! Wigan 0-1 WOLVES
Will Terry Connor sign off with a win? Matthew Jarvis puts the visitors ahead with their first goal inside 15 minutes this season.

15.10: Not a great day for goalkeepers at West Brom. Wojciech Szczesny drops the ball trying to collect a corner, but his Arsenal defence are on hand to bail him out.

15.08: Manchester City nearly go in front at the Etihad Stadium, but Yaya Toure's strike flies wide of the post.

15.06: GOAL! West Brom 0-1 ARSENAL
Because Yossi Benayoun has capitalised on a howler from Marton Fulop to put the Gunners ahead.

White hot start: Emmanuel Adebayor put Tottenham ahead in the second minute
White hot start: Emmanuel Adebayor put Tottenham ahead in the second minute
15.04: GOAL! TOTTENHAM 1-0 Fulham
First blood Spurs. Emmanuel Adebayor strikes on what could be his final game for the club but the celebrations at White Hart Lane are short lived...

15.01: AWAY WE GO! Don't forget you can stay up-to-date with the league table by clicking the link in the green box.
14.57: Players are out up and down the country as we prepare for the final kick-off of the season.

14.54: From InfostradaLive:
This is also Chelsea’s youngest starting line up in over four-and-a-half years – since they were 26 years and 121 days old  (also at home against Blackburn) in September 2007. This was Jose Mourinho’s final PL match as their manager. 

14.51: Wolves make two changes for their final Barclays Premier League match before relegation at Wigan.
Matt Jarvis and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake replace Michael Kightly and Steven Fletcher for Terry Connor's last match in charge before the arrival of new manager Stale Solbakken.
Wigan bring in Adrian Lopez to take the place of absent centre-back Antolin Alcaraz as their only change from Monday's win at Blackburn which secured an eighth straight season in the top flight.

14.46: Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish elects not to risk captain Steven Gerrard for his side's Barclays Premier League finale at Swansea.
Gerrard has failed to recover from a back problem as Alexander Doni starts in goal and Martin Kelly comes in for Martin Skrtel in defence.
Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers is able to name his strongest XI with midfielder Leon Britton restored to the starting line-up, while youngster Gwion Edwards in line for a first-team debut from the bench.

14.44: I knew there was one missing, here is the full line-ups from the Liberty Stadium:

Swansea v LiverpoolSwansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor, Allen, Sigurdsson, Dyer, Britton, Sinclair, Graham. Subs: Tremmel, Tate, Routledge, Monk, Moore, Gower, Edwards.
Liverpool: Doni, Kelly, Agger, Carragher, Johnson, Downing, Henderson, Shelvey, Maxi, Carroll, Suarez. Subs: Jones, Jose Enrique, Coates, Kuyt, Spearing, Sterling, Bellamy.
Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire)

14.43: Jonny Evans and Ryan Giggs are drafted in as Manchester United look to hang on to their Barclays Premier League title at Sunderland.
The Northern Ireland international defender replaces the injured Chris Smalling, while veteran midfielder Giggs comes in as striker Javier Hernandez makes way.
Earlier this week, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed Evans would miss the Olympics as he needs ankle surgery in the summer.
There is a surprise return to the Black Cats starting line-up for defender Titus Bramble, who has not played since suffering achilles tendon damage against Everton on Boxing Day, while David Vaughan and Fraizer Campbell are also included at the expense of Matt Kilgallon, Lee Cattermole and Ji Dong-won.

14.41: Bolton boss Owen Coyle makes two changes for their must-win game at Stoke this afternoon as they battle to preserve their Barclays Premier League status.
Zat Knight comes in at the back for David Wheater, who became the latest long-term casualty at Bolton when he damaged knee ligaments last week, while up front Ivan Klasnic replaces David Ngog to play alongside Kevin Davies.
For Stoke, full-back Marc Wilson is ruled out by a back problem but Andy Wilkinson is fit again after a groin injury while Dean Whitehead and Matthew Etherington come.









16.10: GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 QPR
16.08: Bad news for Tottenham and maybe England ahead of Euro 2012? Kyle Walker has limped off with an ankle injury to be replaced by Ryan Nelsen.
