Scottish Premiership title decider, FA Cup final buildup and WSL finale – matchday live | Football
Key events
After last night’s win, Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery suggested that qualifying for the Champions League now takes a weight off the shoulders of his players going into the Europa League final next week.
He said: “Now we can play the final, only thinking for a trophy. It is something making sense of everything we are trying to build here.
“The priority is always the league and it is the most difficult league. The consistency we must show all season is something we are setting as a huge challenge. We are always trying to get our highest level and to play there being comfortable.
“This season we started poor, then we were fantastic for three months, then we were down. But the consistency and demands were high and we never gave up. We were always focusing strongly on the league and today is a summary of the season.”
How the Premier League table looks after last night’s result…
Aston Villa cruised to a huge 4-2 win over Liverpool last night to secure qualification for next season’s Champions League. An Ollie Watkins double, along with goals from Morgan Rogers and John McGinn, saw Unai Emery and Co jump to fourth in the table.
Preamble
Hello, good morning and welcome to another Matchday live! Chelsea take on Manchester City in the FA Cup final this afternoon, but that is not the only big match we have to look forward to.
It’s the final day of the Scottish Premiership season and league leaders Hearts face second-placed Celtic in a winner-takes-all showdown at Celtic Park. Hearts need just one point to claim their first league title in 66 years.
Elsewhere, it’s the last day of the WSL season and Manchester City will lift the trophy for the first time in a decade. Arsenal travel to face Liverpool at Anfield as they look to secure second place, while Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
And we’ll be previewing tomorrow’s Premier League action as teams prepare for their penultimate game of the campaign.

Royal Peacemaker: Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh
9pm, Channel 5
She was working in PR when she married Prince Edward so perhaps it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh was able to ride out an embarrassing tabloid sting in 2001 and evolve into a respectable, reliable royal. This breezy profile charts her under-the-radar rise in the House of Windsor. Graeme Virtue

Coolly atmospheric and freighted with a seriousness that so many modern crime dramas wilfully lack, this US series casts Clive Owen as Dashiell Hammett’s detective Sam Spade, retired to the south of France in 1963 but now investigating the appalling murder of six nuns. As the case develops, Spade finds himself in danger. Jack Seale

The Testament of Ann Lee, out now, Disney+
Mona Fastvold’s astonishing drama about the founder of the Shakers Christian sect in the 18th century defies simple classification – which may be why it was unjustly shunned during awards season. At heart it’s a historical biopic: Manchester cotton worker Ann Lee (a performance of great intensity from Amanda Seyfried) joins the Quakers, then forms her own group founded on celibacy, and ends up migrating to America to seek religious freedom. It’s also a highly choreographed folk musical, centred on the Shakers’ ecstatic singing and dancing. And it’s a fascinating tale of female empowerment in an age when the obstacles to self-determination were vast. Simon Wardell
The Teachers’ Lounge, 9pm, BBC Four
The conceit of the school as a microcosm of wider society is used brilliantly in İlker Çatak’s German drama. Leonie Benesch plays new teacher Carla, who investigates after thefts from the staff room. Issues of racism, surveillance, trust and the delicate power balance between educators, pupils and parents crop up as her discoveries throw the entire institution into turmoil – much of it focused on her favourite pupil, Oskar (Leonard Stettnisch). The excellent Benesch exudes empathy, as Carla strives to do the right thing while events overwhelm her. SW
