So far so good for Preston in the League One play-off semi-final against Chesterfield. Their promotion dream remains very much alive.
Andy Carroll might be out of action on the pitch but his kitchen skills appear top notch. The injured West Ham United striker shows off his domesticated side with a video of him performing a double pancake flip no less.
Rest easy Hammers fans. These pancakes are not too fattening. He specifies on Instagram, external he is the "protein pancake flipping king".
Manchester City are guaranteed a top-four finish should they avoid defeat by Queens Park Rangers, or Liverpool fail to beat Chelsea in the 16:00 BST kick-off.
On-loan Bolton forward Jermaine Beckford rolls his marker in the box, controls the bouncing ball and smashes home to extend Preston's aggregate lead to 2-0, putting North End within touching distance of Wembley and a place in the League One play-off final.
Two players on the pitch at the Etihad in the shape of Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and QPR's Charlie Austin who have scored 39 Premier League goals between them this season - that's 12 more than the whole Burnley team have managed and nine more than 14th-placed Aston Villa.
Half an hour gone at Deepdale. It's goalless but Preston still lead 1-0 on aggregate and are on course to reach the League One play-off final.
Leicester City have won six league games from seven to come back from the dead and give themselves a chance of Premier League survival. Is this the greatest escape of all time? Tweet us your choice to #bbcfootball., external
Mike Green: West Brom 04/05. Bottom at the start of the final day and stayed up. That may never happen again.
Mohamed: The greatest escape from relegation of all time has to be West Ham 2007, when Carlos Tevez saved them from relegation.
The maths is simple for QPR. Unless they increase their 2015 points tally to 12 today then they will be relegated.
QPR
QPR make two changes from the side which was beaten at Anfield last time out. Out go suspended Nedum Onuoha and midfielder Sandro - who has a visa problem - and in come Yun Suk-young and Bobby Zamora.
QPR: Green, Caulker, Dunne, Hill, Phillips, Barton, Henry, Suk-Young, Fer, Zamora, Austin.
Former Queens Park Rangers midfielder Trevor Sinclair tweets, external it's "last chance saloon" for the club today.
Rangers lost on the final day of the season as Manchester City claimed the title in 2012 but still survived as Bolton could only draw at Stoke City. What would they give to still stand a chance on the final day this year?

Team news on its way.
Steve Bower
BBC Match of the Day commentator at the Etihad Stadium
"This fixture will always evoke memories of three years ago and the most dramatic end to a Premier League season. Manchester City were crowned champions and QPR still stayed up - neither scenario has looked likely for the last couple of months in this campaign.
"Indeed, their respective challenges have ended with a whimper.
"City were expected to make the defence of their title a much stronger one. They now need a positive end to the campaign before a huge summer ahead. Some of the squad could be playing for their immediate futures."

Lee Allen: Sheffield United 1990/91. Failed to win any of their first 16 games - bottom at Christmas and finished 13th.
John Harris: Surely Hartlepool United this year?! 15 points from safety with 10 games to go. Secure safety with a game in hand!
Ben Halliday: Colchester United (pictured) this season! Six minutes to go at Fleetwood and two games left we were mathematically down!
"It's finished at Sunderland. Manchester United have done all they can, that Rooney goal was enough for the three points. Manchester City are still alive here.
"Balotelli, Agueroooo...
"I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again. So watch it. Drink it in. They've just heard the news at the Stadium of Light. Two goals in added time for Manchester City to snatch the title away from Manchester United."
It's three years since Martin Tyler's legendary commentary for Sky Sports on Manchester City against QPR. Sounds as good today as it did then...unless you're a United fan.
What is the greatest escape from relegation?
Shane Apples O'loughlin: Fulham. 2-0 down at half time with three games to go against City. Lose and they were relegated and somehow they turned it around.
Gary Litvinov: Has to be Fulham under Roy Hodgson. They were mathematically relegated at half time when Diomansy Kamara scored that late winner against Man City to take it to keep them alive.

Almost kick-off time at Deepdale. Preston will face Sheffield United or Swindon in the League One play-off final at Wembley if they avoid defeat against Chesterfield after establishing a 1-0 first leg lead.
So Sandro is out of QPR's team to face Manchester City. No doubt we will hear more about this from Chris Ramsey later.
Breaking news reaching us from QPR, who have released a statement, external regarding the future of Brazilian midfielder Sandro.
It reads: "In response to an article which was published by today's Sunday Mirror, the club can confirm it was informed by the Home Office on Thursday 7 May that there is an issue with Sandro's UK residency visa.
"The club are working with Sandro and the Home Office to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. While this is ongoing, the club have been advised not to select Sandro for match involvement.
"The club will be making no further comment at this time."
