    FT: Southampton 2-3 Chelsea

    So a win for Swansea or Huddersfield today would move them seven points clear of relegation, with Southampton to play five more games this season. You've got to like those odds..

    For Crystal Palace, win and they are six points better off than the 18th-placed Saints. Some motivation.

    Brighton manager Chris Hughton and striker Glenn Murray were happy to pose for photos and sign autographs with home fans when they arrived at Crystal Palace.

    Murray has scored goals for both clubs but today will be the first time he’s played for the opposition at Selhurst Park - he's named in Hughton's starting line up for this crucial game for both clubs.

    I am expecting it to be a noisy afternoon at Selhurst Park, and for the Eagles fans to be celebrating this time.

    Prediction: 2-1

    FIVE minutes of added time at Southampton. Can they find a late equaliser? A consolation after crumbling?

    They are watching at Selhurst Park...

    A glorious sunny day at Selhurst Park for the latest episode of a rivalry that dates back to 1976 when Terry Venables and Alan Mullery were in charge of these clubs in the old third division.

    Today Brighton can virtually ensure top flight football next season with a win but a similar result for the home side could drag them back into the relegation mix.

  7. Is it a derby?published at 14:15 British Summer Time 14 April 2018

    Crystal Palace v Brighton (15:00 BST)

    If you didn't know - there is a fierce rivalry and a lot of history around meetings between these two clubs.

    One incident in recent times that sums up where we are:

    Excrement was (I'm being careful with my language here) found on the floor of the Crystal Palace dressing room ahead of a 2013 Championship play-off semi-final at Brighton.

    So it's a derby alright, regardless of the 50 miles between the grounds.

    Plenty more on why Palace and Brighton do not get on over here.

    Chelsea's equaliser was celebrated by the Crystal Palace fans arriving at Selhurst Park. There was a loud cheer as Alistair Bruce Ball described Hazard's goal. A Southampton win would mean Palace starting against Brighton in the bottom three but as it stands they will be outside the relegation zone at kick off...

    ...and there was an even bigger cheer as Giroud struck the third!

  20. Europe for the Clarets?published at 13:48 British Summer Time 14 April 2018

    Burnley v Leicester (15:00 BST)

    Burnley last played in European football in 1966-67, when they reached the quarter-finals of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, losing to German side Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 on aggregate.

    But victory at home to Leicester today puts them on the verge of an unlikely European return.

    Seventh place will be enough for Europa League football - if Southampton do not win the FA Cup. Saints face Chelsea in the last four, with Manchester United and Tottenham the other semi-finalists.

    Eighth-place Leicester trail the Clarets by six points, while Everton are two points further back having played one game more.
