Aston Villa 1 Crystal Palace 1: Jeffrey Schlupp rescues point for Palace to cancel out Ollie Watkins opener
STEVEN GERRARD'S Aston Villa had an impossible act to follow after the club paid tribute to their 1982 European Cup winning team of legends prior to kick-off. Ollie Watkins thought he had done his bit to send the club's former heroes home happy when he fired Villa in front with 21 minutes remaining. But the home side couldn't hold on to their slender lead and Palace equalised with nine minutes left through substitute Jeffrey Schlupp, who reacted quickest to Marc Guehi's knockdown. In the end a draw was a fair result as Palace finally scored at Villa Park for the first time in five minutes to remain one point and one place above Villa just outside the top ten. However, it took a timely save from Jack Butland in stoppage time to keep out Lucas Digne's stoppage time effort as it headed for the top corner of his net. Before Ollie Watkins fired wide with only Butland to beat as Villa threw everything at grabbing a late winner.

Aston Villa 1 Liverpool 2: Sadio Mane winner keeps Reds in Prem title hunt as Klopp’s side go level on points with City
HERE, courtesy of Liverpool’s own Steven Gerrard, was an opposition performance Jurgen Klopp could fully approve of. Aston Villa were enterprising, they were ambitious, they were open - and they were beaten. The Liverpool boss had sniffily complained about Antonio Conte’s defensive tactics when Tottenham inflicted a damaging draw on his title-chasers at Anfield on Saturday night. But this wild encounter, played at a pulsating tempo at a tempestuous Villa Park, was right up Klopp ’s street. And so Liverpool - visibly flagging in their unlikely pursuit of a quadruple - continue to apply pressure to Manchester City. After Sadio Mane ’s cute headed winner, Pep Guardiola ’s champions still need seven points from their remaining three games - starting at Wolves tomorrow - if they are to claim a fourth title in five seasons.

Liverpool blow with Fabinho huge FA Cup final doubt against Chelsea after being forced off injured at Aston Villa

The Brazilian midfielder limped off just 28 minutes into the Reds' 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Tuesday . While the nature of the injury is not yet clear, hobbling off the field just four days before the FA Cup final against Chelsea is a worrying sight for Liverpool fans.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp cannot see Manchester City dropping points against Aston Villa
Jurgen Klopp cannot see Manchester City failing to beat Aston Villa in their final game of the Premier League season, admitting that it is very unlikely that his Liverpool side will manage to win the title. The Reds go to Southampton on Tuesday night in their penultimate league match of the campaign, knowing that a victory will put them just one point behind City at the top of the table. A win at St Mary’s would take the Premier League title race down to the final day, but it would leave Liverpool needing to win at home to Wolves and hope that City slip up at home to Villa. Klopp admits that this is unlikely, especially with Aston Villa having to play Burnley on Thursday before going to the Etihad on Sunday. The German also cannot see Pep Guardiola’s men slipping up in two games on the spin, after coming from behind to draw 2-2 with West Ham on Sunday. ‘I don’t know when the last time City dropped points two games in a row, historically,’ Klopp told a press … [Read more...] about Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp cannot see Manchester City dropping points against Aston Villa

IT'S do or die for Leeds as they travel to Brentford for the final day of the season.

Thomas Tuchel explains Kai Havertz absence as Romelu Lukaku starts FA Cup final for Chelsea vs Liverpool
Chelsea star Kai Havertz is out of the FA Cup final due to ‘hamstring problems’, while Romelu Lukaku starts up front for the Blues against Liverpool. The two sides go head-to-head at Wembley for a chance to lift the coveted trophy on Saturday afternoon, in a repeat of the Carabao Cup final earlier this year. Liverpool won that clash on penalties, meaning Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea will be out for revenge this time around. Chelsea are without Havertz as the forward struggles with hamstring issues, while Mateo Kovacic recovers from the injury he picked up against Leeds United in midweek to start and Lukaku gets the nod up front. Lukaku has struggled since his £97.5million move from Inter Milan in the summer, but has scored three times in his last two Premier League games. Speaking to ITV ahead of kick-off, Thomas Tuchel said: ‘Kai, we tried until the very last minute. This morning he had hamstring problems, not a real injury. ‘But he feels if he goes, there will … [Read more...] about Thomas Tuchel explains Kai Havertz absence as Romelu Lukaku starts FA Cup final for Chelsea vs Liverpool
