The destiny of the 2013-14 season’s Premier League title is in the hands of Manchester City and Liverpool and it will all be decided exclusively live on Sky Sports on Sunday, May 11.
Manchester City effectively need just a point at home to West Ham United to secure their second title in three seasons and their showdown at the Etihad Stadium will be one of three matches broadcast live by Sky Sports on the final day.
Liverpool still have a chance of ending their 24-year wait for a league title and will be waiting to pounce if City slip up as they host Newcastle at Anfield.
In the other remaining televised fixture, the focus switches to Europa League qualification as Tottenham host Aston Villa looking to secure a place in the Europe’s secondary club competition next season.
As is tradition, all 10 final day fixtures in the Premier League will be kicking off simultaneously at 3.00pm, giving fans the chance to witness all the drama unfold minute-by-minute.
With the three relegation places and Champions League qualifying places already settled, the battle between Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title will be the sole focus of most fans’ attention on the final day.
City took a giant stride towards their second Premier League title in three years as a second-half rout of Aston Villa in midweek moved them top of the table with one game left to play.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side had spent only 11 days at the summit all season, but they now lead Liverpool by two points with a far superior goal difference heading into Sunday’s 38th and final round of matches.
They effectively need a point at home to West Ham, while Liverpool will host Newcastle knowing their hopes of a first championship in 24 years are looking unlikely.
Exactly three weeks on from the draw against Sunderland that derailed City’s title bid and deflated their fans, the atmosphere and belief around the Etihad Stadium has been transformed.
Liverpool’s defeat by Chelsea and draw at Crystal Palace on Monday has shifted the initiative from Brendan Rodgers team to handed Manuel Pellegrini’s side in the space of two games.
