This weekend's Premier League fixtures serve up Arsenal v Chelsea, as if you didn't know. It is second v first in the table, which is probably how it will end, but at least a win for the former will keep a bit of interest in the race. Arsenal may not catch Chelsea this season but a win can strike an important blow for the Gunners, as our pundit Robbie Savage explains...

"A win, no matter how they get it against the champions elect, would show they will really mean business next year."

A bit of breaking football news now and Championship club Brighton have offered new deals to goalkeeper Casper Ankergren and full-back Inigo Calderon, but club-record signing Craig Mackail-Smith will be released in the summer.

Striker Mackail-Smith, 31, joined for a reported £2.5m in 2011 and has scored three goals in 35 outings this season. Kemy Agustien, Aaron Hughes, Vitalijs Maksimenko and Paddy McCourt will also leave when the campaign finishes.

So, the Champions League draw; what's the plan? Well, I'll tell you. It's taking place today at Uefa headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland and gets under way at 11:00 BST. The four teams involved are Spanish pair Real Madrid and Barcelona, German side Bayern Munich and Juventus of Italy.

The draw for the semi-finals of the Europa League also takes place on Friday. Holders Sevilla are through along with Ukraine's Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and Italian duo Fiorentina and Napoli.

Before all that, though, you can expect a pre-show of what Europe's governing body deems to be "entertainment". Basically, Uefa's got talent.

For today's debate, we are asking who will be the star man for their respective side in the Champions League semi-finals? Is Cristiano Ronaldo going to run rings around everyone (again)? Will Luis Suarez pay off that whopping great price tag by restoring Barca to the top of Europe? Will Carlos Tevez do the business for the underdogs? Or will Robert Lewandowski become a hero for Bayern?

It's Champions League (and Europa League) draw time! The four finest teams in Europe (and the ones in the Europa League) are primed and ready to see who they will be pitted against in the semi-finals of Europe's top club competition (and the Europa League). And, after some talking, some more talking, probably a musical number, some dancing and then some more talking, a footballing great will pluck four plastic balls out of a dish.

That gets under way at 11:00 BST, so we've got a bit of time to fill. Let's start that process with some of this morning's back pages...
