'Champions League football is in Aston Villa's hands'published at 14:04 British Summer Time 5 May
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveAston Villa know a Champions League place is in their hands. They have to take care of that and focus on getting those six points.

Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Good play from Aston Villa as Douglas Luiz wins the ball in a great position and tries to set up Morgan Rogers but the tricky winger is tackled in the box.
At the other end Brighton go route one, feeding the ball to Simon Adingra but his eventual shot is tame and straight at the keeper.

Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
Whereas at Stamford Bridge Chelsea are playing some lovely, composed stuff. Passing it around the back nicely.

Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Well, I can tell you that it's been a scrappy start in midfield at the Amex. Neither side has really settled on the ball.
'Brighton have lost their midfield'published at 14:01 British Summer Time 5 May
Brighton 0-0 Aston Villa
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveBrighton have lost their midfield. They haven't got Mitoma who is a brilliant ball carrier and obviously they've no longer got Mac Allister or Caicedo any more.

You've got to stick it out Chris, everyone's telling you it gets really good in future seasons! Also, if West Ham were a TV show, what show would they be?

If you're watching a TV series which you've heard is decent, but you find really boring and hard to watch, do you keep watching? If you're a West Ham season ticket holder...

Not sure what Dan from London (13:41) is on about, No Newcastle fan says they should be in the top four, always see people claiming Newcastle fans say this but there's never any actual Newcastle fans saying it.

'Konsa suits England'published at 13:55 British Summer Time 5 May
Brighton v Aston Villa (14:00 BST)
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveGareth Soutgate does not like getting his full-backs forward and his focus is on their defensive qualities. Ezri Konsa is very good at that and he would be my choice. I'm also a fan of Lewis Dunk's too.
Cole Palmer chasing Chelsea recordpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time 5 May
Chelsea v West Ham (14:00 BST)
He's a proper top notch stat for you.
Cole Palmer has scored or assisted against 13 different Premier League opponents this season for Chelsea, although he is yet to face West Ham. Only six different players have scored or assisted against 14 different teams in a Premier League season for the Blues, most recently Eden Hazard in 2018-19 (15).

It's almost time on the south coast and in the capital.
Aston Villa fans at Brighton are singing about Birmingham City. Not a shock that, really.

I've never been a Moyes out. He's stabled the club and brought us a trophy. Wouldn't mind if he stayed another season but he does need to let the hand break off and not be so passive and sit back when holding onto a lead. If he decides to leave then thank you Mr Moyes.

Brighton in an 'unlucky period'published at 13:49 British Summer Time 5 May
Brighton v Aston Villa (14:00 BST)
Brighton & Hove AlbionRoberto De Zerbi speaking to Sky sports: "We are in an unlucky period. We are playing without two or three important players, especially our fullbacks so we cannot attack in the same way but hopefully we'll find other ways to score.
"Villa are a good time with a different style, who are having a good season but we still want to keep the ball and play positively."
200 not outpublished at 13:47 British Summer Time 5 May
Angelo Ogbonna is making his 200th appearance in the Premier League for West Ham against Chelsea.
Brighton's Danny Welbeck is also set to make his 200th Premier League start against Aston Villa.
Moyes' Stamford Bridge strugglespublished at 13:45 British Summer Time 5 May
Chelsea v West Ham (14:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesWest Ham manager David Moyes has never won an away Premier League match against Chelsea in 18 attempts (D7, L11), with Mauricio Pochettino set to be the 11th different Blues boss he has faced at Stamford Bridge in that time.
The only instance of a manager taking charge of more matches at a venue without winning is Moyes at Anfield (19 games).
Postpublished at 13:43 British Summer Time 5 May
West Ham finished 10th, 13th and 11th in the three seasons before Moyes started his second spell.
Just saying...

I honestly don't get West Ham fans, they've fallen into the "we've got a big stadium and passionate fans so we should get top four" nonsense that Newcastle fans spout. Punching well above their weight currently, enjoy it.Dan, London

Match Facts
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 29 home Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur (W19 D9), a 2-0 defeat in May 2011.
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to complete their first league double over Liverpool since the 2010-11 season, beating two different Reds managers that season (Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish). Their last league double over the Reds beating the same manager twice was in Dalglish’s first spell in 1986-87.
Liverpool (3) v Tottenham (3) has provided six 90th-minute winners in the Premier League, the most of any fixture in the competition’s history. Indeed, both of the last two league meetings between the two sides have been won courtesy of a 90th-minute winner for the home team.
Liverpool have conceded the opening goal in 16 Premier League games this season; not since 2004-05 under Rafael Benítez (20) have they done so more in a single campaign. Indeed, the Reds have conceded the opener in four of their last five matches at Anfield in the competition – as many as their previous 22 beforehand.
This will be Liverpool’s 18th Sunday Premier League game this season, only playing more in a single campaign in 2012-13 (20). They’ve won nine of their 17 so far this term (D6 L2), only winning more in 2013-14 (11/15) and 2018-19 (10/13).
Liverpool have lost their last two home games in all competitions, as many as in their previous 57 combined. They’ve failed to score in both defeats, last losing three in a row without reply at Anfield in March 2021.
Tottenham haven’t lost any of their last six away Premier League games on a Sunday (W2 D4), with their last such defeat coming at Anfield against Liverpool in April 2023. Four of their five such games this term have been draws, but they did win their last such match at Aston Villa in March (4-0).
Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League matches, including none in their last eight since beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 in March. The Reds last went longer without a shutout within a single season in the league from October to December 2004 (9).
Liverpool’s Jürgen Klopp lost his first Premier League meeting with Spurs’ Ange Postecoglou earlier this season. The only manager to win consecutive Premier League games against Klopp is Brendan Rodgers with Leicester in 2021, while the last manager to beat him in his first two top-flight meetings was Louis van Gaal in 2009-10 with Bayern Munich when he was Borussia Dortmund manager.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min has scored in each of his last four Premier League appearances against Liverpool, putting Spurs 1-0 up in the reverse fixture in September. The only player to score in five consecutive Premier League games against the Reds is Jamie Vardy (between 2016 and 2017)
