Key events
Here are 10 things to talk about with your mates while watching the football this weekend.
What else is dominating the headlines today?
We’ll get to Eddie Howe’s press conference at some stage (lots of mentions of “the group” no doubt), we’ll have the latest on Arne Slot’s proposed move to Liverpool, the pressure on Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, the thrilling scrap for automatic promotion in the Championship. And it’s nearly May, so I would have thought we’d be rife for some premature transfer news tittle-tattle, too.
Yay.
PreambleHappy Friday, gang! Well, that was quite the statement from Manchester City last night wasn’t it? Suddenly the most exciting three-way tussle for the title is looking a little predictable – unless (and there’s always an unless) things change this weekend. There’s another set of fixtures hot on the heels of the midweek batch, with the title in the spotlight and various promotions and regulations to be decided.
We’ll mop up the best and worst of the Friday press conferences, which will come thick and fast today, and bring you all the other breaking news too.
Oh … sorry, I’ve just been informed by Pep Guardiola that it wasn’t a statement at all. It was only three points. So there. Just three very important points that might decide the fate of the Premier League trophy.
