    Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey will face no punishment for an alleged Nazi salute after a Football Association charge was found not proven by an independent regulatory commission.

    Hennessey was pictured with his right arm in the air in a photo posted on Instagram by German team-mate Max Meyer after the FA Cup win over Grimsby.

    Newcastle played OK in Monday's defeat by Arsenal - looking fairly secure, but not exactly posing much of a threat. It almost felt like they were trying to keep the score down, which isn't unusual for manager Rafael Benitez.

    I would expect the Magpies to be a bit more adventurous on Saturday, and I can see then edging this one.

    But both of these teams are safe anyway. It would be a massive shock if either of them went down.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-1

    Exciting news for Bournemouth fans this week.

    The club are set to start work on a new multi-million pound training complex, which will be located on the 57-acre former Canford Magna Golf Club site.

    Poole Council granted planning permission in December 2017 and once revised, improved plans have been approved, construction work will begin.

  6. Leicester's defensive duo missingpublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 6 April 2019

    The precise reason for Harry Maguire's absence is slightly unclear but his partner has given birth this week, so is possibly related to that.

    Jonny Evans was expected to play but has been struggling with a hip injury, which probably explains his absence.

  7. Foxes without Maguire and Evanspublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 6 April 2019

    A win for Palace or a win for Newcastle and they can forget about relegation. I’m sure that will be what the managers are saying to the players before the game.

    Palace have got a good away record and Newcastle have been strong at home in the last few games. It’s a good opportunity for one of them.

    Burnley can target the game at Bournemouth today. I know they haven’t been great away from home across the course of the season, but that’s a great chance for them to get it done and dusted.

    Same for Newcastle against Palace. Get the points on the board, get it done and dusted as early as possible. That’s what you want. It’s a lot easier when you know you’re safe.

    Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe on the team's run of one win in eight: "It is a disappointing return. I think there are a combination of factors.

    "We are very keen to perform for a whole host of different reasons - the main thing being that last week we were disappointed with what we delivered.

    "It's very clear we have to give our absolute best, give everything to the game and hope that will be enough to get us the result."

    It is difficult to know what Huddersfield manager Jan Siewert should do now his side have been relegated. Does he think about who might leave in the summer and look at some fringe players for next season? Possibly.

    Or could it be a situation where he keeps playing his strongest XI and, now the pressure is off them completely, the Terriers will start to play and suddenly look like a different team.

    Whatever Siewert decides, this is a tough game for them. Leicester have won their past three matches under Brendan Rodgers, and with a bit of luck he could easily have won his first game in charge, against Watford, too.

    Prediction: 0-2

    The disappointment at Huddersfield losing their Premier League status will be tempered slight at the John Smiths Stadium this afternoon.

    Town are playing host to a seven-year-old cancer patient from the USA who latched onto the Terriers when she saw Aaron Mooy in action for Australia during last year's World Cup.

    Bella lost her hair during treatment and latched onto Mooy's shaven head. She found out who the midfielder played for and immediately became a Huddersfield fan.

    She has flown over from Dallas and will be Huddersfield's mascot for today's game.

    Johnny Magrinho: Burnley qualifying for Europe was the worst thing that ever happened to them. Dyche may have got a pub named after him, but his club are on the verge of getting relegated from a league in which they’ve always looked comfortable. Too many games & not enough investment.

  16. 'We owe it to the fans'published at 13:46 British Summer Time 6 April 2019

    Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle stated this week, external that he felt the club was “is in its best position in modern memory” despite relegation from the Premier League being confirmed with a record-equalling six games remaining.

    He also gave his backing to manager Jan Siewert, who has lost eight of his nine games in charge.

    “We have six Premier League games still to play and we owe it to the fans to put everything into them,” said Hoyle.

    “We are strong in every area and we have made sure that our first foray in the Premier League will have lasting benefits for Huddersfield Town, such as the legacy that our improved training ground will give for years to come. Sustainability is so important for every club.”

    “I am very pleased with the work Jan [Siewert] has put in and I am genuinely excited to see what his team will look like after a full pre-season. The board of directors is fully behind Jan as the man to take us forward.

    The talk in the St James' Park press room this afternoon revolves around that surprise declaration from Rafa Benitez yesterday - he's waiting for an answer over his future from the Newcastle board, and says they're the only party that he's currently in discussions with.

    Fans are desperate for the club and Benitez to come to some sort of agreement - expect supporters to make their voices heard today in support of the Spaniard's demands.

    Burnley's end-of-season run-in is pretty awful. It's hard to see them getting anything out of the last four games.

    So do they have to win today to avoid relegation? Will it be enough? Or can Cardiff claw their way back to safety?

    Manager Rafa Benitez told Newcastle "the ball is in their court" regarding an agreement over his new contract.

    The 58-year-old Spaniard's three-year deal is set to expire in the summer and he sees his future at St James' Park, despite reports suggesting he wanted to manage a French club.

  20. A win for the Terriers' fans?published at 13:35 British Summer Time 6 April 2019

    Huddersfield v Leicester (15:00 BST)

    On paper it looks like there is very little at stake between these two sides. But just days after their relegation was confirmed, Huddersfield will be keen to give the fans some joy before they return to the Championship.

    There could be an eye to the future of course. Changes wouldn't be a surprise but with six games to go in the Premier League, you would hope Huddersfield will make the most of it.

    Meanwhile, visitors Leicester are enjoying a bright spell under Brendan Rodgers. They are chasing a fourth successive victory.

    That seventh place is still up for grabs despite Wolves currently holding a three-point advantage. If every possible scenario falls in place, that could potentially become a European spot too. Slim chances, but Leicester will want to make sure they are there in case it does.
