Liverpool finish the season with a league-best 84 points, 10 more than runners-up Arsenal.
Palace finish their FA Cup-winning season with 53 points, good for 12th place on the table.
Salah, fittingly, delivers the improbable to finish the season
We don't need to add much to the section headline — Mohamed Salah was the best player in the Premier League this season and if you were going to predict one player who would find a way to get a point for his 10-man team late in a game this weekend it would've been him. Salah won the Golden Boot race and claimed his second Playmaker of the Year award when he topped the assist leaderboard. He's the champion of the champions, and he's not going anywhere.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace preview — by Joe Prince-Wright
Liverpool wrapped up the title weeks ago but since they won their second league title in five years they've lost two and drawn once as the party has been going on for some time. They lost late on at Brighton on Monday but Arne Slot has been using these final few games of the season to give chances to fringe players as he plans ahead for next season. It will be intriguing to see how strong he goes with his lineup against Palace as he will want to finish the season on a high.

Crystal Palace remain in dreamland as Oliver Glasner delivered a first-ever major trophy last weekend as they beat Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup final. Palace beat Wolves 4-2 on Tuesday too as they're finishing the season strong and a win at Anfield could see them finish in the top 10. The Eagles have Europa League action to look forward to next season and also the FA Community Shield against Liverpool at Wembley in August to kick off the 2025-26 season.
Liverpool team news, focus
There will be some rotation for Slot but it seems like he will go with a very strong lineup as the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold could come in to start. Mohamed Salah is trying his best to finish the season strong but luck has not been on his side in recent weeks as he's quietly scored just once in his last eight Premier League games.
OUT: Alexis Mac Allister (hip)
Crystal Palace team news, focus
Eberechi Eze is the star of the show for Palace right now and Eddie Nketiah scored twice in the midweek win against Wolves. Glasner will continue to rotate and give players a chance to prove themselves for next season. Wharton is out and Guehi is a major doubt as they picked up head and eye injuries respectively in the FA Cup final.

OUT: Adam Wharton (concussion, Cheick Doucoure (knee), Chadi Riad (knee), Marc Guehi (concussion) | QUESTIONABLE: Ben Chilwell (virus), Nathaniel Clyne (virus)
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace prediction
This feels like it will be a fun game with the pressure well and truly off for both teams. Liverpool will prevail to finish the season on a high. Liverpool 3-2 Crystal Palace.

Luke Shaw, meanwhile, featured mainly as a left-sided centre-back in the last few games. 'I'm really happy, I think every player dreams of this,' Leon told Versus ahead of moving to Manchester. 'When you're a professional, you have to adapt quickly, it is a massive opportunity. 'Everyone thinks I'll go out on loan, but I don't have that mindset.
