Southampton v Manchester City (19:00 BST)

Image source, Getty ImagesSaints striker Danny Ings has got a great chance of the Golden Boot because Jamie Vardy had stopped scoring for Leicester, Manchester City's Sergio Aguero is injured and I don't know how much Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah are going to play for Liverpool now the title is done and dusted. Mane has just scored, but...
I'm not trying to sell Ings when I talk about how many teams would take him but I think Saints should offer him a new contract and wrap him up in cotton wool.
While they have Ings at the club they are not going to get relegated, it's as simple as that.
I don't think Ings will add to his tally on Sunday, though. Sorry!
I rate him very highly as a finisher but he needs service, and Saints won't create many chances against City.
Prediction: 0-2

Danny Ings
Southampton striker on BBC OneMedia caption, Gary Lineker calls out Danny Ings for being coy on Golden Boot hopes
Every striker would love to win the golden boot, to be in that kind of company is amazing. If I can keep pushing and keep scoring I can be around it at the end of the season.
I’ve just got to enjoy it, I’m having fun at the moment and when I’m having fun I play my best football.
Those players around me, their teams tend to dominate most games every week and create more chances naturally but the lads play to my strengths, we all work hard and it would be impossible to score the goals I do without them.

Southampton v Manchester City (19:00 BST)
SouthamptonSouthampton went nine games without a Premier League win between September and the end of November, including that infamous 9-0 drubbing at home by Leicester.
When Ralph Hasenhuttl's side drew with Arsenal a month before Christmas they had just nine points and were entrenched in the relegation zone.
Image source, Getty ImagesThere was a sacking after that game - but it was Arsenal who pulled the trigger on Unai Emery.
Since then the Saints have won 10 of 19 in the league to ascend to safety and can look forward to next season, whenever that may be, with a sense of comfort.
Tonight they face a seriously stern test though...
