Wanderers sign off at the Reebok in style with their biggest Premiership win. The 5-2 crushing of Crystal Palace lifts them out of the bottom three for the first time since January. Andy Todd receives the Supporters Association Player of the Season award.

EVERTON'S 4-0 hammering at Arsenal confirms the Gunners as Champions and means Wanderers will have their destiny in their own hands at Chelsea in their final game.

EVERTON boss Howard Kendall acknowledges: "It's out of our hands now. Relegation is certainly not unthinkable." Mark Fish's wife, Louise, gives birth to a son, Luke.

THE BEN reveals exclusively that Colin Todd is safe in his job - whether Wanderers win their survival fight or not. Chelsea hit back at the suggestion they will field a weakened side against Wanderers. Goalkeeper Kevin Hitchcock warns: "They'll get no favours from us."

BOB Taylor, who has scored three vital goals in nine starts with Wanderers, is told there is a job waiting for him back at West Brom when his loan spell ends. Frank Leboeuf plays in Hitchcock's testimonial game, scuppering suggestions he is unfit and unavailable to face Wanderers.

DEAN Holdsworth and Taylor are under intensive treatment for hamstring injuries.

COVENTRY boss Gordon Strachan says Everton shouldn't expect an easy ride at Goodison on Sunday. "Nobody ever did us any favours when we were in the same position," he explains. But the Sky Blues could be weakened if goal star Darren Huckerby fails to recover from an ankle injury.
