Sat 11 May National League play-off final The winner of Fylde v Salford will be promoted to the Football League for the first time ever.
Scottish Play-offs Queen of the South (Championship) and Stenhousemuir (League One) will be relegated if they lose their play-offs vs Montrose and Annan respectively.
Sun 12 May Premier League Man City will buy the title if they win, or otherwise match Liverpool's result. Liverpool will win the title if they win and Man City don't, or if they draw and Man City lose by 5. In the unlikely event of Liverpool drawing 4-4 and Man City losing 4-0, there will be a play-off.
Sp*rs will be in the Champions League next season unless they lose, Arsenal win, and there's an 8-goal swing. Of course, that's exactly what happened in 2016.
Mon 13 May SPL St Mirren will be in the relegation play-off unless they beat Hamilton.

Final ups/downs...
This weekend Europa League qualification: Watford will be in the Europa League group stage if they win the FA Cup, while Wolves will enter in the 2nd qualifying round if Watford lose.
SPL: Either Kilmarnock or Aberdeen will take the remaining Europa League slot by finishing 3rd. Kilmarnock are ahead by 6 goals, so barring a 6-goal swing, just need to match Aberdeen's result.
St Mirren have already been consigned to the relegation play-off despite winning today.
Scottish play-off finals Championship/League One: Raith will be promoted, and Queen of the South relegated, if the former overturn a 3-1 first leg deficit. Otherwise, QoS will be safe.
League One/Two: The winner of Clyde v Annan will be promoted
League Two/NL: Cove Rangers are set to be promoted, and Berwick Rangers relegated - Berwick are six seven goals down on aggregate with 15 minutes remaining...

Provisional line-ups for steps 1-6 of the non-league pyramid published today. As expected, Gloucester and Oxford City end up in the National League North to make room for the 4 southern teams that stunk up the National League this season.
At step 4, the Evostik has switched from East & West Divisions to a more diagonal North/West and South/East split, meaning Marske United will spend most of their season on the M62 instead of the M1. This will change again in 2020 with the addition of a 3rd Evostik division at step 4, which will most likely comprise clubs from the north east and Yorkshire.
Knaresborough were rumoured to be getting moved to the Northern League but this hasn't happened with promotions and reprieves boosting the numbers and Carlisle City getting moved from the North West Counties.

It's possible we could see changes to the line-ups announced today with the futures of Gateshead and Ebbsfleet United far from certain.

Blimey, I know earlier in the season the Ebbsfleet owner/chairman (whatever he is) said they were having to cut their budget but I didn't realise things were that bad.

I know on Knaresbrough's facebook they posted up the table they were in next season, and seemed relieved, hadn't heard they may be moved into the northern league. And didn't know Ebbsfleet and Gateshead were in trouble, saying that I'm not convinced by Notts County, has he sold them? Port Vale owner was refusing to pay monies over the summer, so who's paying the bills there? Bury promoted but millions in debt and need a new owner, Bolton in administration and will they even start the season, 100m in debt? And I'm sure there was a 3rd league team in the mire as well.

Gateshead are in huge trouble. Very possible they won't be in the National League next season. Ebbsfleet have had problems paying their players, who went on a partial strike before one game (they played but didn't warm up beforehand).

Europa League places confirmed for Wolves (which saves Man United from starting their season in July) and Kilmarnock, who scored an 89th-minute penalty to clinch their place. Aberdeen, who finished 4th on goal difference, will get a Europa League place anyway if Celtic beat Hearts in the SFA Cup final this weekend. In the Scottish play-offs, there was no relegation or promotion in the Championship/League One play-off, with Queen of the South safe. Clyde were promoted and Berwick Rangers relegated, meaning that Cove Rangers will compete in League Two next season for the first time.

Wolves are my adopted European club for 2019/20. I love a bit of mid-week competition against foreign teams. Aside from Southampton's occasional forays, I've previously watched Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Arsenal in action in Europe.

Gateshead have been suspended from the National League, deducted 9 points from their 2018/19 total and refused a licence for next season. So unless they're able to somehow end up in the Evostik, they're f****d.

Will that mean a reprieve for someone relegated out of it?

Will that mean a reprieve for someone relegated out of it? I would expect Aldershot to be reprieved in the National League. Possibly someone from step 2, though it remains to be seen whether they just pick a team from the North (Ashton United) or decide it by points per game (Truro City).

St Mirren V Dundee Utd. Oh dear, the worst penalty shoot ever, Utd missed all 4 penalties, St Mirren scored with only 2 but won it.
