Jon, Bob, and Spire following these PL matches from behind their sofas. Such a big night - Everton can officially save themselves with a win over Palace, and I think they should be OK anyway, possibly even if they didn't pick up another point, but they'll obviously want their survival confirmed as soon as possible.

Huge match for Burnley, and we'll know far more about their chances around 10pm.

Everton behind!

Wow 2-0 Palace - looking like Everton will be involved in the final day picture, but Leeds have to beat Brentford or they would stay up.

Burnley goal scored by a player who should have been sent off in the first 5 mins.

Better stay behind the sofa for a while as Burnley leapfrog into 16th place at halftime.

Great turnaround from Everton to be fair, 0-2 HT to 3-2 FT, so that's them 100% safe.

Burnley 1-1 with 4 mins to go.

Yeah, it's not ideal with Burnley now just needing to match your result and being at home, and safe with a win, but hopefully Eddie's Mags can do you a favour.

Being positive....if we, Leeds, win I think we will stay up. Burnley are getting used to playing for draws recently which won't be any use if Leeds win. Leeds looked much better second half against Brighton, just need to win and see what happens. Pity about Everton though....if they hadn't won tonight I thought they were more likely to get nothing on last day than Burnley.

I was hoping Everton would drop, but they've done very well these past 5 or so games to be fair.

If Newcastle play anything like they did the other night they'll have a good chance of winning, but then it was the last home game of the season in an incredible atmosphere and we are generally a lot better at home. You'd obviously rather be in Burnley's position and they are favourites to stay up, but they'll probably switch positions a couple of times in play on Sunday.

One thing I was surprised about was Sky opting to show the Leeds match over Burnley - the respective opposition are pretty irrelevant as they are obviously the 'B side', but you'd surely rather prioritise the team who have it in their hands.

What is going on with these pitch invasions. They are supposed to be celebratory, not attacking/goading opposition players

Incident at Port Vale tonight...

Well this is interesting.

"Leeds + Burnley wrote to PL on May 13 expressing concern that Everton have enjoyed unfair advantage despite racking up three-year losses of £371.8m - the permitted loss is £105m"

Sunderland promoted. Good to see a club with their fan base in the top leagues. Maybe play Newcastle in a year or two ?!

Mind you we, leeds, could have them , Boro, Sheff Utd, next season

Yeah, I was hoping Wycombe would pull it off, but once Wycombe put out MK Dons in the semi final, and then Sunderland beat Sheff Wed the following night, they were firm favourites for promotion, and they were the much better team today. You are where you are on merit, but in reality, they shouldn't have had 4 successive seasons in the 3rd tier. It'll be interesting to see how they get on next season. I'm hoping Newcastle will have pushed on if they do make it back to the top flight any time soon.

A big week ahead. A Premier League with Leeds and Forest in it will feel a bit different to one with Huddersfield and Burnley, and likewise, so will the Championship.
