BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Anfield:
"Carlo Ancelotti & Ray Wilkins giving the Anfield turf the once-over. Looks perfect but getting a good sprinkling of water."
BBC Sport's Paul Fletcher at Hillsborough:
"The train to Sheffield - a few Wednesday fans, loads of Palace, mountains of beer cans and enough banter to fill a hot air balloon."
1242: By the way, Championship fans, UK users might want to give this page a cheeky refresh - live pictures from Sheffield Wednesday-Crystal Palace sit atop this commentary. Happy days.
Football League Macca: "It probably doesn't need me to tell you what a monster of a day it is in the Championship, but that's my job. Sheffield Wednesday play Crystal Palace for the right to stay in the second flight. If Sheff Wed win they stay up at the expense of the Eagles, any other result and the Owls will drop to League One. Blackpool, who host Bristol City, will claim the last play-off spot unless they fail to win and Swansea beat Doncaster. Plenty of action to come elsewhere but we'll be concentrating our efforts on those three games."
pete_treeby on Twitter:
"Dunno what I'm more nervous about - losing heavily against Chelsea or Man Utd lifting the Prem! At least both won't happen... will they?"
1239: So, in the week that
Jose Mourinho led Inter Milan to the Champions League final,
Chelsea fans were reminded of what they might have been missing in the last couple of seasons. After two titles in two years under the Portuguese, the Blues have not won the Premier League since he left - that can all change today.
Beat Liverpool
and watch
Manchester United lose at Sunderland
and Chelsea will be champions again. Fail to win at Anfield, though, and United assume pole position. Make no mistake, this is massive.
redevilmatth on 606:
"I'm nervous ahead of today's games but I'm confident that Liverpool will beat Chelsea and United beat Sunderland."
BigEggo on 606:
"Liverpool played 120 minutes less than three days ago. Their best player is injured and his replacements aren't fully fit. How does anyone see them beating the best team in the league?"
1235: So, without further ado, let's get down to brass tacks - I want your best chat today. Be your passion Premier League, Championship, or just lounging about on Bank Holiday Sunday with your laptop at hand, I want to hear from you.

1232: On this, the penultimate Sunday of the Premier League campaign and final day of the Championship season, the issues at stake are: The destination of
the Premier League title,
the
Championship play-off
runners and riders, who
will be relegated to League One,
and whether
Roy Hodgson will complete his transition to football deity
by rising up above Fulham and showering the fans with blessings and rose petals... and that's just scratching the surface.
1230: You want big games? I'll give you big games.
