  1. Manager viewpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking to Sky Sports: "The team has done well and there are no injuries. I have players who are now fully fit like Walcott, Wilshere and Gibbs so it's a difficult decision to remain unchanged."

    George in Uppingham: Completely disagree with Rory (19:39). Even though Chelsea have good players in all positions, Arsenal's team are settling for the first time in years and finally starting to find some consistency. Arsenal have a chance, but early games will count!

    There's lots of talk about KP in the BBC Sport newsroom. And rightly so.

    I wonder how some of the great Premier League managers would have handled this?

    There'd be no jetting off to India mid-season with Sir Alex in charge.

    Chris Bloomfield: Clearly Leicester will win the league next season...ridiculous form at the minute!

    Ryan McKechnie: Gotta be Bournemouth! It just seems right!

    Theo Walcott starts on the bench for Arsenal tonight, and the England striker is yet to agree on a contract extension beyond the end of next season.

    Arsene Wenger is anxious to get the 26-year-old's signature - believing the ex-Southampton player's best years are still ahead.

    "Being 26 to 32 is the best age as a striker and I wouldn't like to miss that golden age," he said. "He can be transformed. He is naturally gifted to play in this position."

    You following the game tonight? Debating whether to tune into Eastenders instead? What if I told you that 21 of the last 22 goals in this fixture have been scored in the second half of the match. Not that we don't want you to stick around, of course.

    Rory: I can't believe that 41.5% of people really think Arsenal can win the league. They have a couple of good players but are still specialist failures. Chelsea have at least 2 outstanding players in every position! Arsenal have no chance.

    Don't worry Rory, still plenty of time left for people to vote...

    Would qualifying for the Europa League be a poisoned chalice for Swansea manager Garry Monk, like it was his predecessor Michael Laudrup?

    The manager admits he has mixed feeling about qualifying for the competition via a high league finish.

    "I don't want to stop anything that could be exciting for the club or the players," said Monk. "But of course what comes with that is a lot of work in the summer.

    "I am very mindful of the experience we had last season of being in there and how it affected us."

  13. Zlatan's lucky escapepublished at 19:34 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    Another story which caught me eye is in the London Standard., external It concerns Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was apparently almost killed by one of Sweden's most notorious murderers... and all because he parked his Ferrari in a bad way.

    Peter Mangs, who was jailed for two murders and eight attempted murders in 2010, wrote in a new book: "I thought there would be a proper hullabaloo in the media if the gent in question were to be shot."

    Mangs went home to get his pistol but, thankfully, Ibrahimovic was gone by the time he returned.

  14. KP in the runspublished at 19:34 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    Taking a couple of diversions from tonight's game, let me first point you in the direction of Kevin Pietersen, who has smashed 326 to give Andrew Strauss a massive headache and leave sports editors up and down the land 'holding the back page'. The latest on that is here.

    If Swansea win tonight, they will go within a point of seventh-placed Southampton - the team who, until a couple of months ago, had Champions League aspirations. It's their most successful season in their history, in terms of Premier League points at least.

    So how good is Garry Monk? It it all down to the Swansea manager? Throwing in his style of play too... surely Monk is a potential England manager of the future? Let me know your thoughts, Swansea fans.

    Mark Harrison: If Man City can get rid of a bunch of ageing players, it could lead the way to young blood wanting to win even more.

    Paul Dudgeon: Chelsea because they will strengthen the squad which is already the best in the Prem!

    Taylor: Manchester United - the team is settling, it's only a matter of time with the summer signings coming in too.

  19. New defender, Arsene? No thankspublished at 19:22 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    If Arsenal were to challenge for the Premier League title next season, where should they strengthen? Phil Neville told 5 live that it should be a goalkeeper.

    It certainly won't be a defender... at least judging by Arsene Wenger's latest comments.

    Speaking about the central defenders at his disposal - Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker, Calum Chambers and Gabriel - Wenger said:, external "Four is enough.

    "(Mathieu) Debuchy can play there, (Nacho) Monreal can play there, so you can say we are not out to buy a central defender. And Gabriel will be a great central defender, believe me."

    Lukasz Fabianski fan

    "Lukasz Fabianski divided opinion during his time at Arsenal, but it seems the Swansea City goalkeeper made a lasting impression on at least one Gunners fan.

    "The Poland international left Arsenal to join the Swans last summer and has enjoyed a fine first season at the Liberty Stadium.

    "A string of solid displays have eased the memories of some mistake-ridden performances for Arsenal which earned him the nickname 'Flappyhandski' - not that this particular supporter would've referred to Fabianski in such a way."
