It’s the final day of the Premier League season, with all 10 Premier League fixtures kicking off at the same time (4pm BST):
It’s difficult to know where to begin with the team news given the numerous talking points across the country.
But let’s do so at St James’ Park, where Alexander Isak starts for the Magpies after recovering from injury.
His recall at the expense of Callum Wilson is Eddie Howe’s only alteration, but the Newcastle United boss does at least have the fit-again Kieran Trippier among the substitutes.
Everton bring in Charly Alcaraz, Jack Harrison, Ashley Young and Michael Keane, with Abdoulaye Doucoure and Dwight McNeil dropping to the bench and injured duo Jarrad Branthwaite and Seamus Coleman missing out as expected.
It’s teamsheet carnage at St Mary’s, with five changes apiece.
William Saliba is absent, while Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard are demoted to substitute duty.
In come Kieran Tierney, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri.ย
Riccardo Calafiori is unexpectedly absent.
Ross Stewart, Yukinari Sugawara, Charlie Taylor, Lesley Ugochukwu and Jay Robinson are the new faces in the hosts’ starting XI.
Jack Stephens, Tyler Dibling and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are all injured, while James Bree and Joe Aribo are benched.
There are unexpected absences at the Amex, too, as Danny Welbeck and Pervis Estupinan miss out.
Jack Hinshelwood and Igor Julio take their places.
Ange Postecoglou makes just three changes from the starting XI that beat Manchester United in the Europa League final.
Mathys Tel, Archie Gray and Kevin Danso come into the team, with Sergio Romero, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison dropping out. The first two are injured.
The pre-deadline rumours were true about a Kevin De Bruyne benching, with Jeremy Doku coming in to replace him.
Nico Gonzalezย for the suspendedย Mateo Kovacic is Pep Guardiola’s only other alteration.
Fulham boss Marco Silva meanwhile brings inย Jorge Cuenca,ย Tom Cairney,ย Andreas Pereiraย andย Harry Wilson for Calvin Bassey,ย Sander Berge,ย Emile Smith Roweย andย Alex Iwobi.
Liverpool and Crystal Palace both pretty much go full strength at Anfield.
For the hosts,ย Virgil van Dijk,ย Andrew Robertson,ย Curtis Jonesย andย Luis Diazย get the nod overย Jarrell Quansah,ย Kostas Tsimikas,ย Harvey Elliottย andย Federico Chiesa.ย
Trent Alexander-Arnoldย also starts on the bench.
As for Crystal Palace, four changes see Tyrick Mitchell, Daichi Kamada, Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta come in for Joel Ward, Ben Chilwell, Romain Esse and Eddie Nketiah.
At the City Ground, Forest are unchanged for their crunch match against Chelsea.
The Blues bring in Jadon Sancho for Tyrique George in their only alteration.
Brentford also name the same starting XI but Wolves make six changes, going back to pretty much full strength after some midweek experimentation.
Jose Sa, Matt Doherty, Nelson Semedo, Joao Gomes, Matheus Cunha and Marshall Munetsi all come in as Jorgen Strand Larsen (who had been a doubt for this game), Rodrigo Gomes, Pablo Sarabia and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde drop to the bench.
Dan Bentley and Nasser Djiga miss out altogether.
Another unchanged side are Aston Villa, whose opponents Manchester United side bring inย Altay Bayindir,ย Ayden Heavenย andย Victor Lindelof forย Andre Onana,ย Leny Yoroย andย Luke Shaw.
Youri Tielemansย is only fit enough for a place on the bench for the Villans.
Andoni Iraola makes three changes to his Bournemouth line-up.ย
Marcos Senesi,ย Adam Smithย andย David Brooksย come in, withย Dean Huijsenย andย Julian Araujoย benched andย Lewis Cookย suspended.
As for Leicester City, three alterations seeย Victor Kristiansen,ย Oliver Skippย andย Patson Dakaย replace the absentย Wilfred Ndidi,ย Bilal El Khannoussย andย Jamie Vardy.
Kieran McKenna names two changes for Ipswich Town’s final match before the drop:ย Conor Chaplinย andย Nathan Broadheadย come in forย Jack Clarkeย andย Julio Enciso, who is missing from the matchday squad.
Graham Potter makes five tweaks from Gameweek 37, withย Lukasz Fabianski,ย Konstantinos Mavropanos,ย Ollie Scarles,ย Edson Alvarezย andย Niclas Fullkrugย replacingย Alphonse Areola,ย Aaron Cresswell,ย Vladimir Coufal,ย Guido Rodriguezย andย Mohammed Kudus.
