It’s only fitting that in a season of fine margins everything comes down to the final day.

With all Premier League matches kicking off at the same time on Sunday, there’s one point in the title race, two points in the race for the last Champions League spot, two points in the last Europa League spot and one point in the relegation fight.

Because of the matchups, I’m not sure how much will change as things tend to be quite straightforward late in the season, but let’s look at all the scenarios.Manchester City leads Liverpool by one point, City plays Aston Villa at home, Liverpool hosts Wolves. While it’s not totally out of the realm of possibility that City could drop points, it is extremely unlikely.

Yes Villa is managed by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, and former Liverpool stars Phillipe Coutinho and Danny Ings are still close with many at their former club. But City knows this is it, like a one-off final. Get a goal or two ahead and it will be so easy for Villa’s players to just be thinking of a much-needed break on the beach somewhere.

It’s of note that this is the first time in 12 years that the Scudetto hasn’t already been decided going into the last day. Milan has transformed their team this year with a new general in midfield, Sandro Tonalli who has been a beast, and the goal-scoring prowess of Rafael Leao who has scored three goals in the last six games.Article content

At the bottom end of the table there remains intrigue as Salernitana has had a remarkable end to the season to climb above the relegation line. They have a slender two-point cushion but have the tougher fixture against 12th-placed Udinese while chasing Cagliari face last place Venezia.

Here’s what’s open and closed in Toronto on Victoria Day long weekendThis long weekend, while most grocery stores are closed Victoria Day, select locations around the city will remain open. Liberal Government ! I wonder if the vaccine freaks are still hoping this causes another wave like they hoped the sixth wave would hospitalize more people. They wanted to be proven right that the province lifted restrictions too early but they were wrong about that. When will the vaccine mandates be lifted? Discrimination of the unvaxxed must end.
