FANS of England's Barclays Premier League will be able to watch crunch fixtures at both ends of the table on the final day of the season, with three matches broadcast simultaneously on Sky Sports.
All matches kick-off at 3pm on Sunday, with coverage starting an hour before, as the season reaches its climax with the destination of the title and two of the three relegation berths still to be decided.
Manchester United can wrap up the trophy
against Wigan at the JJB Stadium – a match which can be seen on Sky Sports 1 – while viewers can also watch second-placed Chelsea's home clash with Bolton on Sky Sports 2, making for a feast of football entertainment.
United and Chelsea are level on 84 points but, with United's goal difference being vastly superior, a win for them will clinch the title. But if they drop two or three points, Chelsea – who have not been top of the Premier League for eight months – will be ready to deny them the title at the death provided they can dispense with Gary Megson's side at Stamford Bridge.
In a last-day drama in 1995, United failed to beat West Ham at Upton Park, allowing Blackburn to take the title.
Alex McLeish's struggling Birmingham City are at home to Blackburn as they look to climb out of the bottom three and fans can monitor their progress via the interactive red button on Sky Sports 1.
Birmingham need to overcome Mark Hughes' high-flying Rovers to stand any chance of escaping the drop.
The other relegation-threatened teams, Fulham and Reading, are way to Portsmouth and Derby respectively. Sky will be ready to flash up key incidents and goals from these games and the other five matches as they happen, as the drama builds in the final stages.
Vic Wakeling, managing director of Sky Sports, explained the significance of having so many undecided issues going into the final day. said: "It's a terrific end to a superb season and we are delighted to be able to cover three games of such importance in our 16th season of Premier League coverage.
"When the final whistle blows on Sunday, we shall have covered a record 92 live matches, and after what we've seen so far we are all expecting an outstanding day."
