    Norwich v Man City (12:45 GMT)

    Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany share a hug in the centre circle as Carrow Road bursts into song.

    "On the ball City!!"

    My favourite chant in football to contain the words "have a little scrimmage". It's a belter.

    "Yes they are. They have too much talent to say they are out of it. If they go on a run of three or four games, which they are capable of, then you can't dismiss them."

    "I think City will struggle to make the gap up. I think they have got to get to 75 points which is a massive ask.

    "Leicester have got such confidence. They have tough final games but if they have a lead going into them, then you would back them to beat the nerves that will come eventually."

    Norwich v Man City (12:45 GMT)

    Norwich captain Russell Martin quite literally has his head in his hands as he lines up alongside Vincent Kompany in the tunnel. I'm no psychologist but that doesn't bode well.

    "Work hard guys! More, more, more!" shouts the always vocal Joe Hart. Manchester City look pumped.

    Just 10 minutes to go at Carrow Road. Will the home fans be feeling as jaunty as a steel band come full-time?

    Norwich manager Alex Neill: "Patrick Bamford has good movement and had four attempts on goal in a half-hour sub appearance last time out. Hopefully he will be a real threat for us.

    "We have to go and win the game but we can't go willy-nilly."

  11. What's wrong at Newcastle?published at 12:26 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2016

    Former Chelsea left-back on Football Focus

    "The Newcastle squad are low in confidence and there are a lot of things wrong behind the scenes. I think those two go hand in hand, you have to have good principles at a club to get the best out of a team. I worry whether that chaos distracts the players."

    You may have heard last night that Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka was on the verge of leaving his job after a bust-up of some kind.

    Well, the club have released a statement, external which may, or may not, clear things up.

    "Middlesbrough Football Club can confirm that Aitor Karanka did not take training on Saturday morning."Assistant Head Coach Steve Agnew will take charge of the team for Sunday’s fixture at Charlton Athletic."We appreciate supporters will want to know further details, but at this time the club cannot make any further comment and is solely focused on Sunday's game at The Valley."

    "His credentials are incredible. But when you are in a relegation fight, it is completely different. 

    "If you haven’t got right characters you will go down. He has got 10 games to sort out which players will go with him and who will go against him."

    sVieira: On the surface, NUFC are one point from safety with game in hand. But it's Benitez vs Allardyce, and I see Big Sam winning.

    This lunchtime's Football Focus comes live from the church of Saint Luke the evangelist, which as you can see is practically part of Goodison Park.

    It must be the closest place of worship next to, er, another place of worship. Right?
