This team come up with a novel way of defending a free kick. But what happens next...

Things may be all but decided in the Premier League ahead of Sunday’s final matches (Man City 1/50 to win the title, Liverpool 16/1), but who will join Leicester and Burnley in the top flight next season?

In the first leg of the Championship play-offs tonight (Thursday) it’s Brighton v Derby (Brighton 7/5, draw 21/10, Derby 2/1) and tomorrow Wigan v QPR (Wigan 11/10, draw 11/5, QPR 5/1). Derby are 9/4 to go up, Wigan 5/2, QPR 5/2 and Brighton 7/2.

For Sunday’s final round of Premier League matches, as ever we’ll have in-play fixed odds and spread betting on all the matches – and don’t forget to use our Coupons feature either online or on your mobile to see bets across the full group of games listed in the same place.

The main focus will be at the Etihad where Manchester City are huge 1/8 favourites to beat West Ham and claim their second title in three years. Even a draw, at 15/2, would do the trick given the Citizens’ vastly superior goal difference over Liverpool. The Hammers meanwhile are 16/1 to spring a surprise.

Should West Ham cause a shock, Liverpool would need to beat Newcastle at home and are priced 2/11 to do so. The draw at Anfield is 6/1 and a Magpies win 14/1.

Manchester United still have very slim hopes of securing Europa League football next season, however they would need to win at Southampton and hope Tottenham lose at home to Aston Villa for this to happen.

United are 13/8 to win at St Mary’s, Southampton are also 13/8 and the draw is 12/5. So while that game is in the balance, our traders are expecting things to be more one-sided at the Lane with Spurs 40/85 for the win, Villa 11/2 and the draw 7/2.

At the foot of the table, already relegated Cardiff and Fulham are only battling to avoid finishing bottom while Norwich are also effectively doomed given their goal difference is 17 worse than West Brom three points above them.

So our spread betting Supremacy prices for the remaining games are; Chelsea/Cardiff (h) 1.3 – 1.5, Fulham/Palace -0.1 -0.1, Everton/Hull (h) 0.35 – 0.55, Arsenal/Norwich (h) 0.5 – 0.7, Sunderland/Swansea 0.15 – 0.35 and West Brom/Stoke 0.3 – 0.5.

Elsewhere we’ll have our usual full range of live and non-live coverage on the rest of the English League and non-league games, Scottish leagues, European leagues and other world leagues.
