Some golf for you in the midst of all these Premier League news conferences. Mark O'Meara believes his good friend Tiger Woods will compete in next week's Masters.

Former world number one Woods, whose ranking has plummeted to 104, has struggled badly for form and fitness this season and has played only twice on the PGA Tour.

Woods played a practice round at Augusta but has yet to confirm if he will feature at next week's event after struggling for form.

"Deep down I think he will play," said O'Meara. "I hope he plays but I also understand he is doing what he needs to do for him. Everybody struggles in the game of golf and no-one is immune to struggling.

Liverpool's Raheem Sterling should stay at the club but is now "under pressure" after talking about his future, says former Reds defender Mark Lawrenson.

The 20-year-old England winger told BBC Sport he is motivated by trophies and not money after rejecting a contract worth £100,000 a week.

Sterling says he will address a new deal at the end of the season.

"He's come a long way in a very short period of time and he needs to remember that," said Lawrenson.

Retirement leaves you plenty of time to do the things you once put off in life - in the case of Ireland legend Brian O'Driscoll, it's crowdsurfing.

His wife Amy Huberman was told her husband had gone on a "business trip" before discovering his crowdsurfing antics at a Hong Kong Sevens party and posting the picture on Twitter.

She then demanded a giant Toblerone from O'Driscoll, which he duly forgot to bring back.

"I think we have eight very important games and we have time to speak about a lot of things that happen in the future. Harry is our player and if I decide he is in the squad to travel to Sydney [for Spurs summer friendlies]. It's our decision but I think we have time to speak in the future about the European competition."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini on the quota of English players required as suggested by Football Association chairman Greg Dyke:

"The most important thing is the team has to bring in the best players. If these [English] players are good then I agree they should be signed, but in the Premier League especially you need to have the best players."

On his squad after the international break:

"Our squad is normal, one or two small problems, but we will wait and see tomorrow. We were left with just seven players [during the international break] but we knew that before we started. It is important, though, that the national squad have spaces for our players."

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce: "You need to point out to your players at this level of football you have to keep your foot on the gas wherever you are in the table.

"The ultimate goal is to have the best season that we've had since coming back to the Premier League."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini asked of team's plans for next season:

"Our plans are for Crystal Palace on Monday and we will not talk about next season yet. We only talk about the next game."

On rumours linking City with Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling:

"I don't think there is any part of the year when we are not linked. It is the whole year. There are lots of rumours that we want players. I said we want one English player, but that does not mean I'm interested in this player. I won't talk about rumours."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini on title race: "If we want to reach first position, we must not drop any more points. It is easy to say, not easy to do. We must try to win all our games now until the rest of the season."

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce on opponents Leicester: "It is the cruelty of the Premier League when you don't convert the chances to make and it's a results business.

"Those results haven't gone as well as performances would suggest for Leicester. They're still fighting.

"Leicester will not give up and they've still got great hope that they can get out of trouble."

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce on league position and form: "It is very tight between eighth and 10th now for us. We have a reasonable run-in although no game is ever easy at this level.

"For us it's about achieving as many points as possible in the run-in. Hopefully we can kick off on a good run having beaten Sunderland."
