"There must be a poor relationship between the players and manager but Remi Garde has handled himself well. It has been a terrible time, it hasn't been good for Garde and his cv, he must be dispirited. Look at the recruitment, the players who came have been poor. Not good enough. I also think that Garde, who came in as a solution, was recommended by Arsene Wenger. There is a lack of football knowledge behind the scenes at Aston Villa. They have to get that right." 

Television presenter Rachel Riley is well into her five-a-side marathon for Sport Relief.

There's excellent live coverage of the event here. I urge you to take a look, it is brilliant.

I don't know about you but I have been absolutely hooked by watching non-stop five-a-side football.

"For 45 minutes at least all is well in the world at Arsenal thanks to an inventive finish by Aaron Ramsey."

"I think City won't win the league now. I think they can get 80 points maximum but everything's against City now. "

Manchester City and Leicester have games today, and you would imagine their players will be watching this game with great interest. At the very least, they will be keeping tabs on the score.

"Newcastle are so poor defensively. They don't look like they have any leaders on the pitch or keep their shape. There is a lot going wrong up there."

Alan Shearer
Sport Relief Five-A-Side captain

"I see ability in the Newcastle team but that is nowhere near enough. Football is easy when you're winning, you don't see your characters and leaders when you are winning. Newcastle haven't got anywhere near enough players who are big enough to get on the ball and say I can handle this."

The north London derby hasn't really lived up to expectation but there's been a cracking chance to just now as David Ospina reacted superbly to deny Erik Lamela.

Don't forget, we have a dedicated live text commentary on the game here.

No Newcastle in Lawro's prediction. They are second bottom, having won just one of their previous five games.

Big game for them against Bournemouth today.

Mark Lawrenson speaking on Football Focus

"I think Aston Villa and Norwich will go and it's a case of the other teams fighting it out."

Former Tottenham boss on BBC Radio 5 live

"Me and Alan Sugar met with Guus Hiddink in around 2001 to discuss him coming  to Tottenham but he was a smarter man than both of us - because he took the South Korea job and had an enjoyable World cup.

"He is a shrewd man, a very clever man but he is too old to get a long-term role at Chelsea. He doesn't need it."

Kevin Kilbane
Ex-Everton and Republic of Ireland winger on Football Focus

"Guus Hiddink has done a great job but Chelsea were well below par when he took over. At some stage of the season they were going to go on a run and they have some belief now. They were clearly not playing for Jose Mourinho - for whatever reason."

Right, we are veering slightly away from the North London Derby. We'll still bring you the goals, but if we want to know what colour boots Harry Kane is wearing, and every other bit of detail about the game, join Al Magowan for live text commentary on the game here.

Here's a reminder of the rest of the weekend's games.

Who remembers this one? 1971 North London Derby. Arsenal needed a win or a goalless draw to seal the title. Ray Kennedy popped up with an 88th minute winner to seal the title.
