Southampton

Rock bottom Southampton's last Premier League win was on 1 February. They becamethe first team to be relegated from the Premier League this season - but still have something to play for.

They are trying to avoid the unwanted record for the lowest-ever points tally in a Premier League season.

Derby hold the record after finishing 2007-08 with 11 points - one point more than Saints have now.

Southampton's remaining five games after Saturday's match at West Ham are: Fulham (home), Leicester (away), Manchester City (home), Everton (away) and Arsenal (home).

Fulham

Fulham manager Marco Silva has confirmed that he has every player in the squad available to him except for Reiss Nelson:

"Right now, just Reiss Nelson isn't available and probably not until the end of the season. Everyone else is available."

Brentford

Brentford manager Thomas Frank, providing an update on Aaron Hickey and Igor Thiago, who both have not featured for the Bees this year, says that both players are "getting closer" and that it "all looks good" to return soon

However, for this weekend:"Everyone is available that was available last week for the Arsenal game."

Wolves

Midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and defender Matt Doherty will be assessed before Sunday's game at Manchester United. Both were withdrawn during the 4-2 win over Spurs on Sunday.

Forward Hwang Hee-chan has a muscle problem and is also doubtful.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler provides a team update before trip to London:

"The big word today is positivity, and things are positive. Kaoru [Mitoma] is back, Jan Paul van Hecke is back. We have a lot of injured players who are at the end stage of their rehab and will start training next week. It's a big positive message for all of us, and therefore the word for Easter is positivity."

He also said that there is a "chance" that James Milner and Ferdi Kadioglu will play again before the end of the season.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery on Tuesday's Champions League exit at the hands of Paris St-Germain:

"It’s done. Everything we did is done. Take our experiences together here, try to analyse to continue improving things, but thinking the next matches, the match tomorrow.

"Everything we are doing, of course, we are enjoying, we are trying to share with our supporters, we are trying as well to get our performances for everything, but now, Premier League, tomorrow's match.

"The most important for me now, is how they are, the players.

"Tomorrow’s match is our objective, and the level they [Newcastle] have is similar level as PSG’s team."

Aston Villa

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery said he currently has a full squad to select from for the visit of Newcastle on Saturday after Tuesday's dramatic Champions League exit:

"We are going to train this afternoon and to test the players, to see how they are for tomorrow. It is good news that in the last matches we recovered a lot of players.

"At the beginning every player is available, unless someone is feeling something or is more tired than normal."

Leon Bailey returned to the matchday squad for Tuesday's game while Ross Barkley made his first appearance since January.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is expecting the same squad to be available for Saturday's match against Bournemouth: “All players are fit and available and ready to go.”

Just before Glasner spoke to the media, Crystal Palace announced that fullback Daniel Munoz has signed a new contract with the club.

The Colombian has extended his stay at Selhurst Park until 2028.

The maximum number of points achievable for the sides inside the bottom three is 39.

There are five teams above Ipswich - who occupy the final relegation spot on 21 points with six to play - who are still not mathematically safe.

West Ham and Wolves have 35, Tottenham 37 while Manchester United and Everton both have 38.

If Ipswich lose at home to Arsenal on Sunday then they can only reach 36 points - and Tottenham, Manchester United and Everton will all be safe whatever happens in their games.

With five weeks of the season still remaining, all three relegation places could be confirmed this weekend.

Leicester City

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on the possibility the Foxes can be relegated on Sunday: "We've been in these circumstances for a long time now. It's not about it being mathematically done, but us showing ourselves for every minute that we're in this league.

"It's not a matter of stopping when it's mathematically done, because it's bigger than that here. It's about shaping a future here, that's what's important.

"We're going to keep going anyway, these four or five weeks will be huge."

Belgium defender Wout Faes missed the 2-2 draw at Brighton last weekend due to injury but Ruud van Nistelrooy says the player could feature against Liverpool.

Fifteen-year-old Jeremy Monga, who became the second-youngest player in Premier League history earlier this month, could also face the runaway leaders.

Leicester City

More from Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on his future: "I know what I want my future to look like. I've learned a lot over the past four months and I know what is necessary to bring it forward. Then it is a matter of being aligned with the club."

At his pre-match news conference on Friday, Ruud van Nistelrooy was asked whether he wants to remain at Leicester City next season.

The Foxes are on the brink of being relegated back to the Championship after just four wins in 32 matches.

Van Nistelrooy was named Leicester's new boss in November and signed a contract until June 2027 at the King Power Stadium.

"You have to be on the same page to move forward and that's what we have to find out," he said when asked about his future.

"Then I will inform you."

We heard earlier from Arne Slot on the prospect of Liverpool winning the title at Leicester on Sunday, but the Foxes' return to the Championship could also be confirmed on Sunday.

They are 17 points from safety with a possible 18 points to play for.

Leicester will be relegated if:

• They fail to beat Liverpool.
• Or if West Ham (home v Southampton on Saturday, 15:00 BST) and Wolves (away v Man Utd on Sunday, 14:00) both win before Leicester play at 16:30 on Sunday.

Ipswich Town

To make matters worse, Ipswich town boss Kieran McKenna confirmed January signing Jaden Philogene has an MCL injury and is very unlikely to feature again this season.

He also added that Omari Hutchinson and Kalvin Phillips remain unavailable for Sunday's fixture.

Forward Liam Delap has trained and will be assessed before the Arsenal game.

Right, on to the relegation picture.

We already know Southampton have gone. But what about 19th-placed Leicester and 18th-placed Ipswich?

Well, both could join the Saints back in the Championship this weekend.

Leicester are 17 points from safety with a possible 18 points to play for and will be relegated if they fail to beat Liverpool or if West Ham and Wolves both win before Leicester play at 16:30 BST on Sunday.

Ipswich will also be relegated straight back to the Championship on Sunday if they fail to beat Arsenal - and West Ham and Wolves both win.

Other teams not mathematically safe with six games to go include West Ham (35 points), Wolves (35 points), Tottenham (37 points), Manchester United and Everton (both 38 points).

However, there is a 14-point gap between 17th-placed West Ham and the relegation zone.

Newcastle United

Saturday's evening game represents a meeting of two of the Premier League's form teams.

Both Aston Villa and Newcastle have enjoyed good cup runs and juggled them impressively with consistent results in the league, meaning they are still well in contention for a top-five finish and Champions League qualification.

Villa are in the FA Cup semi-finals and seventh in the Premier League - on 54 points, one point outside the top five.

While EFL Cup winners Newcastle have moved up to third, and have a five-point cushion over Villa going into Saturday's game at Villa Park.

On Newcastle's rise up the table, Jason Tindall added: "We're in a good moment and delivering good performances. Now we need to be consistent."

Newcastle United

The main piece of team news from Newcastle United assistant boss Jason Tindall was on the fitness of centre-back Sven Botman.

Tindall said that the Netherlands defender will not return this weekend but is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery and "maybe next weekend he could be in contention for selection".

He also reflected on winger Anthony Gordon's return from injury and whether he could start against Villa after coming off the bench in wins against Manchester United and Crystal Palace: "Anthony has played the game long enough to understand the team is playing very well. Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy are performing extremely well."
