Ralf Rangnick takes charge of his final fixture as Manchester United interim coach, with the Red Devils still needing a result to end a disappointing season in sixth.

A draw will be enough as long as West Ham don’t beat Brighton, but anything less than a win will see United seventh - and into the Europa Conference League - if the Hammers are victorious.

In United’s way stand Crystal Palace, who themselves can still finish anywhere from 10th down to 14th depending on how this and other results go on the final day of the Premier League season.

Patrick Vieira was involved in a midweek altercation with an Everton fan who invaded the pitch at Goodison Park, but the Eagles have enjoyed a largely excellent first campaign under the former Arsenal midfielder’s guidance.
