    Chelsea v Leicester (15:00 BST)

    John Motson
    BBC Match of the Day commentator at Stamford Bridge

    "This is more about the occasion than a football match, with three people in particular guaranteed a rousing reception.

    "One, of course, is Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri, who will get the appreciation and recognition he deserves on his return to Stamford Bridge, external as last season's league champions salute their successors with a guard of honour.

    "Another is Ranieri's Chelsea counterpart Guus Hiddink, a popular man throughout his two short-term stints at the club who steadied the ship this season after Jose Mourinho's departure.

    "Thirdly, there's John Terry, Chelsea's captain and a veteran of 703 appearances for the club. He is out of contract in the summer but has now been offered a new deal.

    "His suspension won't prevent him rightly getting some of the goodwill that will be in abundance on Sunday."

  2. Battle for fourth placepublished at 13:53 British Summer Time 15 May 2016

    Possibly the main 'narrative' for today's Premier League action is the battle for the fourth and final Champions League spot (through the league anyway, Liverpool will be a fifth English team in the tournament if they win the Europa League final).

    So what's the situation? Well Manchester City currently occupy fourth spot, and a point at Swansea would be enough to seal that place for Pep Guardiola.

    But if they lose, and Manchester United beat Bournemouth, then the good times are coming back to Old Trafford.

    If both Manchester clubs slip up and West Ham beat Stoke by about 15 goals, then the Hammers will sneak in... But let's just play that one by ear, yeah?

    Here's Alan Pardew having a quick read of the Southampton programme before today's game. 

    Perhaps checking the Saints haven't said anything horrible about their former manager?

    Can he get one over on the club he left in 2010?

    What a difference 12 years makes...

    On 15 May 2004, Arsenal beat Leicester at Highbury to finish the season unbeaten and be crowned 'The Invincibles'.

    Their record at the end of the season read: played 38, won 26, drawn 12, lost none.

    Fast forward 12 years, Leicester are champions and Arsenal are third, having lost seven games in the league.

    The champions have arrived at Stamford Bridge, with Claudio Ranieri getting a huge hug and handshake from Roman Abramovich.

    Not as golden as his last handshake, I'm sure. But we expect Ranieri - and Leicester - to get a good welcome from Chelsea fans today. Don't we?

    Sanchez to leave Watford

    Watford

    Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores will leave the club after this afternoon's match.

    The Spaniard, 51, was appointed in June 2015 following the club's promotion to the Premier League.

    The Hornets are 13th in the Premier League, but have won just two of their past 11 top-flight games.

    "The club and me don't have the same point of view about the season," said Sanchez, who also guided Watford to the FA Cup semi-finals.

    BBC Match of the Day commentator at Old Trafford

    "Like the whole country, Manchester United don't know whether they'll be in or out of Europe after the summer.

    "All the options are possible, with their best-case Champions League (play-off round) scenario dependent on the double of a home win AND Swansea beating Manchester City.

    "Bournemouth finally come to Old Trafford for a league game looking for a double of their own, having beaten United on the south coast in December.

    "That's undoubtedly one of the highlights of their first ever top division season, with the fact that they'll be back again next year an achievement that has perhaps not had the recognition it deserves.

    "Maybe one day Eddie Howe will be back at a big ground like this on a more fixed basis?"

    "Expect tears at Vicarage Road as Quique Sanchez Flores waves goodbye to Watford fans. Let's be clear: Flores does not want to leave. The owners and board made the decision.

    "Supporters are divided but the majority agree with the split. They are delighted to be playing Premier League football again next season thanks to Watford's form up to Christmas. As stupid as it sounds Flores may have done too well in the first five months of the season and expectation was cranked up. That coincided with a turn in form; results in the new year have been worrying and so has their defensive style of play.

    "However Watford's worst performances have come in the last six weeks at the time Flores will have found out he was surplus to requirement. Team selection has been poor and the attitude of a number of the players can be called into question. However it is hard not to feel that the job he had done up to that point had been more than good enough. But football is all about the here and now. For a lot of Watford fans the damage has been done."

    Koeman expects to stay

    Southampton boss Ronald Koeman expects to see out his contract at the club, despite being linked with the vacant managerial role at Everton.

    The Dutchman, 53, joined the Saints in 2014 and is under contract at St Mary's until the summer of 2017.

    Asked if he expects to stay at Southampton, Koeman replied "yes" to reporters at a news conference.

    Koeman's compatriot Frank de Boer is currently favourite to succeed Roberto Martinez, who was sacked on Thursday.

    "I am manager of Southampton," Koeman said. "Everyone knows I have one year more on my contract.

    "We will sit together, analyse this season and talk about the future. That's what the news is today."
