Sunderland are still very much in the chase for a return to the Championship at the first time of asking but every match counts at this stage of the season.

Aston Villa have just three Championship fixtures left and are desperate for a place in that all-important top six.

After an inconsistent season, Everton still have a chance to finish seventh and be the best of the rest in the Premier League.

Tottenham remain in a battle to qualify for next season’s Champions League but will they get enough points from their final five matches to make it?

Liverpool and Manchester City could hardly be closer in their race to lift the Premier League title but are there any remaining banana skins?

Newcastle are surely safe after their 1-0 win against Leicester last time out. But how will their final four Premier League games of the season go?

Leeds’ bid to make it into the Championship’s top two looks set to go right down to the final day of the season, but how will their remaining fixtures play out?

Reports in Spain claimed that Mo Salah had handed in a transfer request but his agent has taken to Twitter to quash the rumours.

Arsenal take a 2-0 lead to Italy tonight for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Napoli but the tie remains up in the air.

Tottenham are into the semi-finals of the Champions League after last night’s crazy clash with Manchester City and Merson thinks they’ll go one step further.

Joel Matip has had to step up for Liverpool in the absence of Joe Gomez and former Red Michael Owen has been shocked by just how well he’s done.

Newcastle appear to be keen on Bouremouth’s Ryan Fraser and are ready to use former Cherry Matt Ritchie to try and land him.

Dele Alli had to fill in in a deeper midfield role against Manchester City last night but Tottenham got the job done.

Newcastle’s Matt Ritchie has been linked with a summer exit despite the fact he has featured heavily this season.

Jan Vertonghen may have been part of a defence that conceded four goals last night but the fans were still full of praise.
