Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1) Henderson; Lerma, Lacroix, Richards; Munoz, Referee: Darren England (South Yorkshire) It’s great when you’re eighth... yeah There may yet be a Conference League place for the team that finishes eighth. And that team will be Brighton, just as long as they get at least a draw away to a team who have justifiably spent the last few days imbibing pints of 17 Year Itch. Should Spurs beat Brighton, Brentford will go above them if they win at Wolves. For the team in eighth to qualify, two things need to happen.
Champions League permutations
Confused? Of course you are, that’s the whole point of permutations. All I need at the three digits on the back of the card and you’re free to go.  PreambleThis is the end, beautiful friends. Another Premier League season has whooshed by faster than you can say “You know what, I’m not sure Liverpool are going to have a blip”, and it will come to an end this afternoon – as a Premier League season always should – with 10 simultaneous fixtures being played on a sultry Sunday in May. The first game of the 2024-25 season took place 282 days ago. In one sense it feels like last month, in another a lifetime ago: that match was Manchester United 1-0 Fulham, and cautious optimism abounded at Old Trafford. Man Utd are one of many teams with nothing to play for except pride, and you can probably insert your own joke here. The biggest issues – who wins the title and who goes down – were settled ages ago, but the dogfight for Champions League places has kept the hype going right to the end. Five teams, separated by three points, are scrapping for three places. And two of them, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, meet each other at the City Ground. Scott Murray is doing a separate MBM for that game, but this is the place for breathless goalflashes and hastily adjusted permutations. These are today’s games. Just in case you’ve been at a digital retreat in the Kerguelens for the past month, the teams fighting for Champions League places are in bold. (Cool your jets, data fam, we’ll get to eighth place in a minute.)
