Southampton fans' pre-match plans suggest they are not likely to be rolling out the welcome carpet for Mauricio Pochettino this afternoon.

Instead, they are planning a 'Ronald Koeman Day', and intend to wear orange in support of the former Dutch international, who replaced Pochettino as Saints manager.

Our first game today may not involve a side scrapping for Premier League survival but what it does have is the return of a manager to his former club.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is back on the south coast to face Southampton for the first time since leaving the Saints in the summer. Pochettino led Southampton to their highest Premier League finish last season, ending up eighth on 56 points.

"I will expect nothing special," Pochettino said of his upcoming return. "The most important thing is that Southampton are having a great season and we are here and I am happy to be here and that is the best thing."

It has the potential to be an interesting subplot, but both teams have plenty to play for this season with the two vying for fifth place, and a Europa League spot.

Finally, to round off your day of football Match of the Day is on BBC One at 22:30 BST. Martin Keown and Alan Shearer will be alongside Gary Lineker to go through the highlights of the day's action.

A minute's silence is to be held before kick-off around the grounds today to respect the 30th anniversary of the Bradford fire, which killed 56 people.

The date coincides with Bradford City's last home match of the season, when the club traditionally marks the anniversary of the disaster, which occurred on 11 May 1985.

The above wreath - representing all 72 Football League clubs - will be laid by the Football League at the Bradford Fire 30th memorial today.

Finally in this morning's look at the papers, the Daily Star claims, external Manchester United have offered David De Gea £200,000-a-week to keep him at the club, rather than have his head turned by Real Madrid.

The deal would make him one of the highest paid goalkeepers in the world, alongside Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer.

On the Danny Baker Show this morning, we are asking for you to disclose your deepest, darkest footballing guilty secrets. Here are some to get things started:

Sh'mon: I'm a total Spurs man but since '87 I've had a soft spot for Coventry City. Still check their results every week?!

Mark Archer: Has to be owning a Man Utd shirt when I was 12 despite being a lifelong Saints fan. Burnt it in the end.

Adrian: I love seeing a player put in a rash tackle, get up and walk off the pitch before the ref has chance to get the red out.

The Sun opts for some classic Jose Mourinho baiting as the Chelsea boss taunts Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger ahead of Sunday's clash by saying, external Cesc Fabregas joined the Blues to win trophies.

Fabregas returns to Arsenal for the first time since leaving in 2011, and Mourinho said: "We promised him a team built in the style to suit his play. Normally good projects go in hand with titles and he was looking for that."

Leigh Francis, he of Keith Lemon fame, is also hankering for a bit of Live and Kicking [see 09:14]. Like I said earlier Leigh, the next best thing is right here.

The Daily Express, under the headline that includes the nickname I dislike above all others, reports that, external Wayne Rooney could return to Everton as a player one day.

The England and Manchester United forward is set to face the Toffees - the club he started his career at - on Sunday.

The Daily Mirror's back page leads with a report, external that Liverpool are set to sign Netherlands international Memphis Depay this summer.

The PSV winger apparently flew to England on a private jet this week to meet with Liverpool officials and discuss a potential £20m move.

Remember when you were a kid and you would wake up dead early on a Saturday to plonk yourself in front of the telly and watch your favourite cartoons and shows? (The Raccoons and Live and Kicking for me). Well, I like to think we are the football equivalent.

The first game of the day may be a few hours away but we still have plenty to get through before then. We'll take a look at what stories are dominating the back pages of today's papers, see what the managers have to say ahead of today's games and check out the crucial stats.

Sprinkled in between we'll have the best from social media, and of course all your fantastic 'footballing darkest secrets' comments.

The only thing missing from this breakfast-time bonanza of entertainment is a furry puppet called Gordon.

Here is what we have coming up today (all times 15:00 BST unless stated):

Southampton v Tottenham (12:45 BST)

Burnley v Leicester

Crystal Palace v Hull

Newcastle v Swansea

QPR v West Ham

Stoke v Sunderland

West Brom v Liverpool

Man City v Aston Villa (17:30)

Chelsea may be two wins away from wrapping up the Premier League title, but at the bottom of the table there is all to play for.

With less than a month of the season remaining, just six points separate the bottom six sides. All six are in action today with, as I hinted to in my earlier entry, the pick of the bunch being Burnley versus Leicester.

A defeat for bottom club Burnley and, depending on results elsewhere, contemplating Tuesday night trips to Huddersfield* once again could become a very real possibility.

*Disparaging comment allowed because I support Huddersfield.

There have probably not been too many instances of Burnley versus Leicester being classed as the game of the day when Manchester City and Liverpool are in action, but that's the case today.

In many ways, it could be considered a £60m game. That is the amount a side is estimated to lose, external in revenue as a result of dropping into the Championship.

With so much to lose and games fast running out, the Clarets versus the Foxes has all the makings of a real humdinger of a clash.

What is worth £60m?

Maybe a particularly impressive Pablo Picasso painting?

Perhaps a desert island?

Or the Premier League relegation battle?
