"Aston Villa say there's no comment on the Jack Grealish story in the Sun., external Tim Sherwood will be holding his regular press conference at 1pm today, so we shall see if the manager makes any comment."

The Arsenal boss has spoken about Chelsea midfielder and PFA Player of the Year nominee Eden Hazard, who has been so brilliant for the league leaders in 2014-15.

"Everybody would agree that he's had a great season. He's found maturity that he didn't have before," said Wenger.

As for his own team, 10 points behind Chelsea in second, he is disappointed that the end of the season is approaching so fast:

"There was a turning point last week with Manchester United not beating Chelsea. Now we can get closer to Chelsea on Sunday.

"We had a disturbed start to the season but since January we have done very well. We could do with 10 more games!"

It's fair to say that Arsene Wenger's record against Chelsea teams managed by Jose Mourinho is pretty lamentable - 12 matches, seven defeats and five draws.

Can Wenger get his first win this Sunday?

The Frenchman said: "We have been close to beating them a few times. The result on Sunday will just be down to the performance on the day."

"We have passed many tests recently. We have another test on Sunday against Chelsea that we want to pass."

It was a night of high drama at the Bernabeu, where Real met Atletico in the latest instalment of the Madrid derby. Diego Simeone's Atletico have had hold over rivals Real this season, but Carlo Ancelotti's men had the last laugh as Javier Hernandez's 88th-minute winner settled the tie and sent the Champions League holders through to the last four of the competition once again.

Real Madrid have now reached the Champions League semi-finals for the fifth successive season, equalling their club record previously set between 1956 and 1960. And yet Ancelotti's job is now safe. Madness.

In the other quarter-final, a 0-0 draw in Monaco ensured treble-chasing Juventus went through.
