Defeat to Manchester City means that guaranteed Champions League qualification is out of Newcastle's hands and the same goes for a top four berth, which may not be enough for a place at Europe's top table.

The Magpies are subsequently 9/2 with bet365 to finish at least fourth, but first they will have to beat Everton and hope results go their way.

Boylesports make Alan Pardew's men 11/5 to keep up their side of the bargain by picking up a maximum haul at Goodison Park, where the hosts are Ladbrokes' 13/10 favourites and Stan James post 5/2 against the draw.

As it's a game between two strong teams, the latter could attract market support and Betfred chalk the contest up at 6/1 to finish 1-1 but United have already seen off the Toffees this term and they're 10/1 courtesy of William Hill to finish on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline, just as they did in that reverse fixture back in November.

Newcastle also won the corresponding meeting on Merseyside last season and Coral price them at 10/1 to repeat the 1-0 scoreline from that one while BetVictor make the Magpies 4/1 to come out on top by a one-goal margin.

Hatem Ben Arfa fired the opener in that game and he's a 10/1 shot at Skybet to again break the deadlock, although Papiss Cisse, at 11/2 (Paddy Power) to notch first, is considered a bigger attacking threat.

Ladbrokes quote 3/1 for Pardew's troops to be in front at the end of each half and for cautious travelling supporters, Newcastle are available at 6/4 in bet365's draw no bet market.

The Premier League title race has gone down to the final day and Sunderland could still play a significant part at home to Manchester United, who can't retain their crown if they're beaten at the Stadium of Light.

Even a victory for the visitors is unlikely to see them cling on to the trophy but they're 4/9 favourites with Coral to collect three points.

William Hill rate Martin O'Neill's charges at 7/1 to stun the visitors, ending their slim title hopes, it's 4/1 via Skybet to finish all square and BetVictor offer odds of 16/1 for the contest to finish goalless, as it did when the pair met here last season.

That would mean a healthy bonus for punter tackling Stan James' 7/1 for both halves to finish all square and also bet365's 13/10 for a low-scoring affair featuring fewer than three goals.

As the game carries such significance for United, even some Sunderland supporters won't be terribly optimistic and for those wary fans, a handicap flutter could be the answer. There, the Black Cats can be backed at 9/5 courtesy of Betfred when kicking off with the benefit of a goal start and Paddy Power hand O'Neill's team a two-goal cushion at 8/15.

For the more bold, Ladbrokes chalk a hefty 20/1 against Sunderland bagging the only goal of the game, the same firm price a home victory by a one-goal margin at 10/1 and in attack, coming up against his former club, Black Cats striker Fraizer Campbell is a 14/1 chance via Boylesports to break the deadlock.
