Southampton boss Ivan Juric on the prospect of his side being relegated today: "I don't think about that anymore. Our goal has to be not be the worst team."

On whether he thinks he will keep his job if they are relegated: "At this moment I don't know. I have to speak with the club and see. Every coach has his vision and I think the club has to do everything they can to agree with the coach and then they go the same way."

Southampton down before Easter?

Ouch!

Joshua: Ange is hanging by his last thread - the Europa League. If he doesn't win that 'trophy in his second year', then I don't see him having a future at Spurs. It was great at the start, but now Ange's reign has to come to an end if we want to improve as a football team.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca on this season's aims: "Now the target is to try to finish where we have been all season. Probably the first five, six months, we were second.

"Probably the expectation changed a little bit, but I think overall, all season we have been top four, top five. We're going to try our best to finish there."

I have a lot of time for Ange Postecoglou but as every week passes he seems to be getting grumpier in interviews.

I still think because it has been so long since Tottenham have won a trophy, but could they win the Europa League and sack their manager after such barren years?

I think Tottenham are a club desperate to win trophies and it'll be difficult to dispose of Postecoglou in the summer if he wins a trophy because he will have backed up what he said about winning in his second season.

James: Our style of play under Ange has been so laborious, sloppy and littered with mistakes. We put up a reasonable effort but you would normally look to a manager to instil more discipline in how we play. Antonio Conte used to drill the side and we got results. That's what is missing. I'm looking forward to the summer and hopefully a new manager. Until then, we suffer.

Fulham

Fulham boss Marco Silva on Liverpool closing in on the title: "They have been really consistent in the Premier League. You don't see them have too many down moments, and when they do, they are always able to react.

"It's not a coincidence that they have spent most of the time on top of the table. We can all agree, that if nothing very special happens, then they are going to have a celebration at the end of the season."

There are many reasons why Liverpool are set to lift the Premier League trophy this season, but one is a good balance at both ends of the pitch.

I believe the midfielders have been key to how Liverpool have played this season and they have controlled the tempo of most games, which is different to how Jurgen Klopp had them playing before.

Under Arne Slot, they are more controlled in possession and that is a lot to do with Ryan Gravenberch in that midfield role.

We knew he was talented but under Klopp he didn't get a run of games, so he is the surprise package of the season for them as he has made that position his own.

Pedro Neto, Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer on the pitch at the Brentford Community Stadium before kick-off.

The trio are among the five that have dropped to the bench today from Thursday's 1-0 win over Tottenham.

Will Enzo Maresca have to turn to the trio against the Bees?

I guess Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson have just come back from injury. Jackson was longer than Palmer. Maybe Marc Cucurella could do with a rest because he was away with Spain on international duty. There's a bit of managing minutes there for some .

You don't want to take any risks either because it could be a very busy end of the season for Chelsea if they go far in the Conference League, but it's not like you're playing PSG or Real Madrid in Arsenal and Aston Villa's case.

Will Jurgen Klopp return to Anfield as a fan if/when Liverpool are crowned champions?

Klopp led the Reds to the title in 2019-20 but the players and staff were unable to celebrate properly with fans due to Covid.

Arne Slot took over from Klopp last summer and there are reports, external Liverpool's former German boss would like to return to Anfield as a fan if/when the Reds lift the title this season.

GT: Toothless, passive, hopeless, clueless - take your pick. Ange has no excuse because we have all of our players back.

Chelsea

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca on making five changes to face Brentford: "It's just the game plan. The ones that are going to start I think are going to be the right ones."

On whether playing twice in three days was a factor: "Also for that, also because we have players back from injury, so two games in 48-72 hours is not the best thing to do after a long time [out] and we try to manage it a little bit."

There won't be much good will at Tottenham today, with the home fans protesting before and during the match, while visitors Southampton could have their relegation confirmed.

"Many lifelong Tottenham supporters feel alienated by the club's ownership and direction," said a statement from Change For Tottenham, who have organised the Spurs protests.

The fan-led group say their frustration is "primarily aimed" at owners Enic and Levy "whose tenure has been marked by financial growth but, in the eyes of many, sporting decline."

There are set to be more protests before and during the match, with fans urged to hold up their protest scarves and flags before the game, then again in the 24th minute, to mark 24 years of Enic ownership, and again in the 61st minute, representing the fact the club were last English champions in 1961.
