Here's the half-time bottom six. It's not all over for QPR – Stoke were totally on top for the first 25 minutes and could easily score again. Bolton have scored a fluke freak goal, but then they got one of those last week as well and it didn't get them very far.
Just watching all the first-half goals. I'm particularly impressed with Adebayor's orange hair (quite a nice goal, mind). Looks like Jelavic controlled the ball with his arm before his goal.
"If it does happen, how long has it been since City have finished above United, Spurs above Arsenal and Everton above Liverpool in the same season? Has it ever happened?" asks Steven Phanides. I've no idea. Anyone?
Violence! Ashley Williams and Andy Carroll are both booked after a bit of pushing and shoving. No goals at Swansea, though the home side have been well on top, by all accounts. The thing is, Williams' bad tackle started it, and was probably worth a booking on its own. Could he have been shown two yellows there? (disclaimer: I haven't actually seen the incident)
And now it's half-time at City too, and they're just 45 minutes away from glory!
Half-time whistles have sounded across the land, though they're still playing at City, where Yaya Touré has gone off injuried.
GOAL! Stoke 1 Bolton 2! (Kevin Davies, 45 mins)! Kevin Davies is tight on the right wing and swings in a cross which is so misjudged that it flies into the top corner of goal at the near post. Soccer Saturday are calling it a goalkeeping howler, and it's certainly embarrassing, but it's just a fluke.
GOOOOAAAAAALLLL! Manchester City 1 QPR 0! (Zabaleta, 39 mins) Zabaleta's shot stings the keeper's hands, loops up and drops into the net! City are back on top!
GOAL! Stoke 1 Bolton 1! A long punt forward from Bogdan, Klasnic controls and lays off to Davies, bursting into the penalty area. A Stoke defender then arrives and kicks the ball into Davies' shin, from where it rebounds into the net, from 15 yards. A ray of hope!
GOAL! Chelsea 2 Blackburn 0 (Meireles, 34 mins) The players who won't be playing the Champions League final are proving their value today.
Another terrible miss at Sunderland! And this is at the other end, Fraizer Campbell volleying high from 10 yards with the goal at his mercy and time on his hands!
What a miss! Valencia pulls the ball back to Ashley Young, who mis-kicks his shot straight into the path of Rooney, six yards from goal, but he miskicks and the ball bobbles wide.
Bolton hit the bar! A cross from the right, Kevin Davies wins the header and the ball loops over a helpless Sorensen and drops against the meat of the bar before bouncing to safety! And then moments later Klasnic's left-footed drive from just outside the area is very well saved.
GOAL! Chelsea 1 Blackburn 0 (Terry, 31 mins)! John Terry's sixth goal of the season, a trademark thumping header.
GOAL! West Brom 2 Arsenal 2 (Andre Santos, 29 mins) A corking long-range strike from Arsenal's occasional full-back.
GOAL! Everton 2 Newcastle 0 (Jelavic, 28 mins)! Another first-time finish from Everton's poacher supreme, tapping in a rebound from close range after Krul's save. Newcastle's Champions League ambitions aren't looking very healthy.
"Now I'd normally cock a snook at petty sniping at fans of other clubs," writes Chuck Schick. "Normally, that is. However, seeing as they're all on the other mbms, can we take a moment to laugh into our sleeves at the expense of Man United fans?" Sure, why not. Surely it looks better in real life?
Djibril Cissé's low shot zips along the ground and into Hart's hands, at the Etihad Stadium. City haven't created a chance of their own yet, despite constant pressure.
GOAL! Norwich 2 Aston Villa 0 (Jackson, 21 mins)! Not a lot riding on this, except for the possibility of Villa ending the season with some kind of dignity. Looks unlikely, at the minute.
GOAL! Sunderland 0 Manchester United 1 (Rooney, 20 mins)! United are top of the table! Phil Jones crosses from the right and the ball reaches Rooney, unmarked, four yards out and at the back post. He nods it in.
"I noticed your poll doesn't have any option for Aston Villa supporters," writes Matt Blake. "If you could add 'depressed, actually, thanks for asking' as a choice it would be greatly appreciated." Apologies, Matt, no can do!
GOAL! Everton 1 Newcastle 0 (Pienaar, 16 mins) Pienaar scores with a 25-yard shot which deflected off Williamson!
Here's the top six, as of now.
GOALS! Wigan 2 Wolves 1 (Boyce, 14 mins) Wigan scored two goals in two minutes, the first from Di Santo and then Boyce with the second.
GOAL! West Bromwich Albion 2 Arsenal 1!!!!! The top two clubs are yet to score, but things are going a bit mental elsewhere...
GOAL! Stoke 1 Bolton 0! (Bogdan own goal, 13 mins) It looks like Bogdan is going to collect the ball as it's crossed in from the right wing, but just as he gets his hands on the ball Walters arrives, smashes into him and the ball bobbles into the net!
GOAL! West Bromwich 1 Arsenal 1 (Shane Long, 9 mins) Spurs take over third place after Shane Long scores a bizarrely offside goal.
GOAL! Norwich 1 Aston Villa 0 (Grant Holt, 8 mins) Meanwhile at Stoke, Crouch's volley has flown just wide.
Chance for Stoke: Crouch crosses from the right, Fuller collects the ball just outside the penalty area, jinks inside and shoots low towards the near post. Bogdan pushes it wide.
Zat Knight came very close to winning the calamitous defensive moment of the season award, before just about saving the situation with a panic challenge. But Stoke are on top in the early stages at the Britannia.
GOAL! West Bromwich 0 Arsenal 1 Tottenham were in third place for a fraction of a heartbeat – Yossi Benayoun has seized upon a useless back-pass to put Arsenal ahead!
GOAL! Tottenham 1 Fulham 0 Emmanuel Adebayor gives Spurs a second-minute lead!
Into the second minute. No goals yet.
I'm watching Stoke v Bolton. City might win the title today, which will be cool for them, but whether they win it or they don't, this is a good time in their history by most reasonable definitions, and a league title is heading their way sharpish. At the other end of the table, though, today might have a very serious impact on Bolton's future, particularly given their £110m debt. The biggest game of the day, for me.
Players are out, this is really happening. A good time to have a poll, I feel.
Lest we forget, this is what the league table looks like at the moment, before today's matches get under way. I'll hopefully post updated versions occasionally, though you can find an up-to-the-minute version whenever you choose here.
"It's common thing to say that Premier League this season was not just more prolific but also better than the 2010-11 edition," writes Admir Pajic. "However, if you compare the Top Four mini-league last season with this season's, you will notice there are huge gaps between top teams. Last season, if only Top Four matches were counting, Arsenal would be champions on goal difference ahead of United (10 points), Chelsea would take 3rd place (9 points) and City would be 4th (5 points). This season was much more straightforward – City would be champions with 15 points, United would be second with 12, Arsenal would be third with six and Tottenham would take fourth spot with only three points against their Top 4 rivals." Interesting stat action, Admir. Cheers.

Hello world! The Premier League hype machine often goes into overdrive for the most humdrum of encounters, but we've got to let them go wild today, as this looks like a genuine humdinger of a final-day showdown. Today's key questions, in order of excitement, include:
• Will Manchester City win the league, or United?
• Will Bolton go down, or QPR?
• Who out of Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle will grab third spot and a guaranteed Champions League place, who will finish fourth and take a possible Champions League spot, and who will come fifth and end the day with little more than a feeling of horrible disappointment?
• Will Everton finish above Liverpool for the first time since 2005, and the second time since 1987? Could Fulham overtake them both and come seventh?
• Sunderland, Swansea, Norwich and Stoke are separated by just one point, but whoever finishes top of their mini-league can expect to earn £2.3m more in merit payments than the team that comes last (and more if they overtake West Bromwich, which two of them could do). Who's going to bag the cash?
• On the way to work this morning I saw two people, in very different parts of London town, carrying peacock feathers. On all my previous trips to work combined I don't think I've ever seen anyone carrying peacock feathers. Who or what is behind this outbreak of feather-bearing?
