Rory MarsdenMay 17, 2015

Arsenal edged closer to securing a top-three finish in the Premier League on Sunday, as they claimed a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Gunners still have two games remaining—both at home—while United have just one, and another two points from their remaining games will confirm Arsenal finish in the top three.

Ander Herrera opened the scoring for United with a cool finish on the half hour in a first half dominated by Louis van Gaal's men as Arsenal struggled, per OptaJoe:

However, the Gunners came into the game in the second half. They were rewarded in the 82nd minute, as Theo Walcott's shot was deflected past replacement goalkeeper Victor Valdes by Tyler Blackett, and the teams shared the points on the final whistle.

Here is how the Premier League standings look after Week 37:

Steven Gerrard bade farewell to Anfield on Saturday, playing in front of Liverpool's home fans for the final time ahead of his move to MLS to play for L.A. Galaxy.

Crystal Palace spoiled the party somewhat, as the Eagles prevailed 3-1, Adam Lallana's opener being canceled out by Jason Puncheon just before half-time ahead of goals from Wilfried Zaha and Glenn Murray, which wrapped up all three points.

With Liverpool's hopes of Champions League football having already been dashed, though, the result was of little consequence.

Players and fans alike paid tribute to the Anfield legend, per B/R UK:

Southampton gave themselves a big boost in the race for the Europa League next season, as they thrashed Aston Villa 6-1 at St Mary's.

Sadio Mane scored the quickest hat-trick in Premier League history in the first half, per Coral, with Shane Long adding a double and Graziano Pelle finishing things off late one:

Swansea were confirmed as eighth-place finishers, and Manchester City sealed a top-three spot on Sunday, as the Sky Blues prevailed 4-2 at the Liberty Stadium.

Manuel Pellegrini's men squandered a 2-0 lead, as Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bafetimbi Gomis canceled out Yaya Toure and James Milner's strikes.

But Toure's second and a late goal from former Swan Wilfried Bony saw City win well in the end.

Leicester City confirmed their Premier League survival, as they shared the spoils with Sunderland on Saturday with a 0-0 draw.

But Newcastle United's 2-1 defeat to QPR sees them still in danger of filling the one remaining relegation spot, as they sit just two points ahead of 18th-placed Hull City, who lost 2-0 to Tottenham.

The Magpies face West Ham United on final day desperate for a win, the Hammers having been beaten 2-1 by Everton in Week 37.

Stoke moved to a club-record points tally of 51 on Saturday, per OptaJoe, as they drew 0-0 with relegated Burnley:

Champions Chelsea play West Bromwich Albion on Monday to complete the penultimate week's action of the 2014-15 Premier League season.

Arsenal play their game in hand on Wednesday against a Sunderland side eager to confirm their survival in the Premier League and avoid any final-day nerves.

The Gunners, though, will also be eager to claim victory against the Black Cats in order to seal third spot and perhaps give themselves a chance of finishing as high as second.

Newcastle's form is such that a victory over West Ham seems a long shot, but Hull may be unable to haul themselves out of the bottom three, with a victory needed over the Red Devils.

Gerrard's last Premier League appearance will come away to Stoke City, and although there is little on the line, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers and the Reds players will surely want to see him off with a victory.
