Liverpool v Southampton is under way in the Premier League, and that's followed by Arsenal v Manchester United, which you can also hear on BBC Radio 5 live.
Then at 18:30 BST, we'll have live text coverage of the League One play-off semi-final second legs. Bradford have a 1-0 lead in their tie with Fleetwood, while there were no goals in the first leg between Millwall and Scunthorpe.
Blackburn Rovers relegated to League One
History suggests Blackburn can consider themselves pretty unlucky to have gone down with more than 50 points.
That hasn't happened since 2013, when Wolves and Peterborough went down with 51 and 54 points respectively.
As little as 41 points could have saved a team last term, and just 42 points the year before that.
But, despite going unbeaten for their final five games of this season - winning three - 51 points wasn't enough for Rovers, who go down on goal difference.

Will there be any resolution to their off-field turmoil? Will Tony Mowbray still be manager? And which players will leave in the aftermath of relegation?
