Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).
18:00
It's all over. Birmingham, Blackpool and West Ham are the three teams relegated. Wigan, Wolves and Blackburn survive on the final day. Villa 9th, Liverpool 6th a comfortable 4 points behind Europa League-qualifying Spurs.
17:55
Unless Stoke score twice in the dying embers of their game against Wigan, Villa will finish in 9th place!

There's the final whistle. We're waiting on other full times but Villa are set to finish 9th, while Liverpool must settle for sixth and a season without European football. Still, neither side can complain after spending large chunks of the campaign each as very real relegation candidates.
90+3'
Incredible final day stuff, but not here at Villa Park. N'Gog is put through but is offside. Sums up a very insipid contest, really.
90+2'
West Brom have made it 3-3 from 3 goals down which lifts Villa up to ninth!
90'
Four minutes added time. I doubt it's enough for Pool to get the two goals they need.
89'
SUBSTITUTION: Time-killing change for the hosts as Ashley Young comes off with Michael Bradley on in his place.
88'
Wolves have pulled back to 3-2 from 3-0 down which puts Birmingham in the drop zone on goals SCORED. Yep, this is up there with the 2005 dogfight. Meanwhile, Suarez cannot beat Friedel with a weak shot after good buildup play.
87'
He works it short, gets it back in a more central position and gets a corner on the other side off the back of Flanagan. Another short corner ends in them conceding a free-kick.
86'
Agbonlahor works some magic on the left to get in a crossing position, but it's blocked out for a corner. Ashley Young will take...
84'
Collins, who's had a belting game outside of his inexplicable miss at the other end, continues to keep Kuyt quiet and gets Villa another goal kick.

Meanwhile, finally something to report at Villa Park - Albrighton one-two's with Agbonlahor and fires a fierce drive which Reina parries.
82'
Michael Owen has made it 4-2 to Man United. Blackpool look to be heading down with Wigan ahead and Birmingham level.
80'
Birmingham have equalised through Craig Gardner. Two goals in the last ten minutes will put Liverpool in the Europa League.
79'
N'Gog goes down easily in the box, which is so unlike him.
78'
An Evatt own goal has seen Blackpool go 3-2 down at Old Trafford. They're down and Wigan are safe as it stands.

Clever ball from Downing finds Bent onside, despite the claims of the Pool back line - he tees up Agbonlahor for the tap in to seal the game... but he can't get his foot on it. Unbelivable.
75'
Suarez fires over after good work from N'Gog.
74'
Young tries to tee up Bent on the edge of the box, it's a little behind the striker but he gets back on it and fires weakly straight at Reina.
