Premier League final day permutations

Come 5.45pm on Sunday afternoon, matters will be settled across the Premier League with the title, Champions League, Europa League and relegation matters all still down for decision.

Here's all the permutations and possibilities ahead of a hectic afternoon of action.

Race for the title

At the top of it's a relatively straightforward situation - that is, if you can ignore the dreamy narrative notion of ex-Liverpool players Steven Gerrard, Phillipe Coutinho and even Danny Ings pulling one out of the bag for their former side and coming back to haunt Manchester City.

If Liverpool are to be crowned champions, they have to win and hope that City somehow drop points.

A win for the City against Aston Villa means that they will be crowned champions regardless of what happens elsewhere, but if Pep Guardiola's side were to draw or even lose and Liverpool win, then the title goes to Anfield.

City lead by a point at the top of the table so a defeat for them and a draw for Liverpool could conceivably be enough for the Reds but the Sky Blues would have to lose by seven goals for their goal difference advantage to be wiped out.

While we’re delving into the realms of the possible but exceptionally improbable, there remains the chance of a title play-off.

Should Aston Villa beat Manchester City by a 6-0 scoreline and Liverpool and Wolves play out a 5-5 draw, both sides would be level on points, goal difference, goals for and goals against.

The head-to-head record shows two 2-2 draws between the sides meaning that, if the astronomically unlikely sequence of results came to pass, there would be a play-off between City and Liverpool on a neutral ground to decide the league title.

All of which will mean precisely nothing when City storm into a 3-0
