Liverpool 3-0 West Ham United: Gianfranco Zola's team may be hoping to end their 47-year Anfield winless streak but, so close to the drop zone, the points matter more than the records
The Reds dominate the first half, taking the lead through Yossi Benayoun, though the Israeli international refuses to celebrate scoring against his old club
David Ngog, running across his marker, meets Maxi Rodriguez's cross from the right and, though it is straight at Robert Green, the pace and power of his shot takes it past the West Ham keeper
Things get worse for Green when Sotiros Krygiakos hits the post from Steven Gerrard's free-kick only for the ricochet to go in anyway off the leg of the Hammers' keeper
The game slips in to a scrappy kick-about, with Liverpool needing no further invention or bite and the Irons playing with such lack of fight that their fans must surely fear relegation
Plymouth Argyle 0-2 Newcastle United: Chris Hughton's side may already be top flight-bound next season but a point at Home Park would see them up as champions while a win would all-but relegate their hosts

Wayne Routledge soon adds a classy second goal, played in by Joey Barton after a one-two with Kevin Nolan, though Plymouth continue to go close before the break
Argyle battle to the very last, having an effort cleared off the line in the final minute, and both teams hit the crossbar, but the gulf between those heading up and those going down is clear
Newcastle fans pour on to the pitch at the end to celebrate with Chris Hughton and the players while the home fans, gracious despite their relegation, stay to applaud their opponents' success
