    Southampton are already down and I don't see them going toe to toe with Brighton - they will try to disrupt the Seagulls rather than try to attack them.

    It is all about what happens next at Saints now, whether Ruben Selles is going to be in charge next season and if they can keep the likes of James Ward-Prowse.

    Prediction: 2-0

    A top-six finish is very much in Brighton's sights. They are currently sixth and a win today will give them some breathing space over the chasing pack.

    There's just two points separating the Seagulls and Brentford down in ninth.

    West Ham are safe now. So, Hammers boss David Moyes has been quite entitled to focus on his side's Europa Conference League semi-final with his team selections in the past week or so, even if it has meant they have lost four of their past five Premier League games.

    I know what Big Sam is trying to do at Leeds, but he was given such a short space of time to make a difference that appointing him was a massive gamble.

    Leeds have only won two away league games all season and they probably won't try to play much football here. The plan will be to keep West Ham out and try to nick this.

    Will it work? No, I don't think so. I can see them getting another draw, which is not what they need.

    Prediction: 0-0

    Steve: Midfield is weak with Koch/McKennie in there.

    Glory_United: Strong line-up from Moyes. Not the news Leeds fans would have hoped to hear.

    Nick Collins: I’ve actually got a feeling that West Ham will beat Leeds or it will be a draw. It will be interesting to see if they’re tired from Thursday or they’ll be confident from it.

  5. 'West Ham game is a cup final'published at 12:38 British Summer Time 21 May 2023

    Manager Sam Allardyce says relegation-threatened Leeds will treat today's game at West Ham as a "cup final".

    Leeds are two points behind 17th-placed Everton, who claimed a last-gasp draw at Wolves on Saturday, and welcome Tottenham to Elland Road on in their final game of the season on 28 May.

    "We have to deliver a three-point scenario to try to save our Premier League status," Allardyce said.

    "[We need to] fight to the end, but fight with the right temperament and have the right amount of control - and certainly don't lose the game plan."

    Leeds have lost at Manchester City and drawn at home to Newcastle in their first two games since Allardyce replaced Javi Gracia this month.

    West Ham boss David Moyes is not doing Leeds any favours with that team selection.

    He might have made six changes but all six are experienced players.

    Lucasz Fabianski is his first-choice Premier League keeper and Nayef Aguerd has a knock, which meant a central defensive change.

    The only youngster on the bench is striker Divin Mubama, who was a central figure West Ham's FA Youth Cup win last month.

    West Ham make six changes to the side that beat AZ Alkmaar to reach the Europa Conference League final - though key trio Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta all start.

    Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and Danny Ings are among those to come in, with Michail Antonio and Saïd Benrahma dropping to the bench.

    West Ham XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Emerson, Soucek, Rice, Fornals, Paqueta, Bowen Ings.

    Subs: Areola, Johnson, Cresswell, Antonio, Lanzini, Cornet, Benrahma, Kehrer, Mubama.

    Leeds XIImage source, BBC Sport

    Leeds make two changes from the team that drew 2-2 against Newcastle last time out.

    Pascal Struijk and Adam Forshaw come in for the suspended Junior Firpo and Sam Greenwood, who drops to the bench. Captain Liam Cooper is also fit enough to be among the substitutes.

    Leeds United XI: Robles, Ayling, Wober, Struijk, Kristensen, Koch, Forshaw, McKennie, Harrison Bamford Rodrigo.

    Subs: Meslier, Cooper, Aaronson, Roca, Summerville, Rutter, Gnonto, Greenwood, Chilokoa.

    Manchester City are an absolute machine, it's terrifying.

    Getting them to maintain that form over the season is amazing and getting them to peak at just the right time is amazing.

  12. Can anyone stop Pep Guardiola's champions?published at 12:25 British Summer Time 21 May 2023

    .

    Manchester City's fifth Premier League title in six years and the manner in which it was achieved must send a sense of dread through those seeking ways to unseat Pep Guardiola's magnificent champions.

    City's desire to sustain their supremacy appears to be sharpening, rather than offering any hints that familiarity with silverware is breeding contempt.

    City are the first team to win the Premier League for three seasons in succession since Manchester United in 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09.

    They are also on course to emulate United's historic feat of 1999 and become only the second English side to secure the title then also win the FA Cup and Champions League.

    Guardiola's genius has built a dynasty that will only get stronger. This is a machine without an obvious weakness assembled by one of the greatest managerial figures the game has known.

    Yesterday's results mean it is now two from three to go down, with Everton's draw confirming West Ham's safety.

    Leeds' fate is in their own hands. Two wins for Sam Allardyce's side will keep them up.

    I wouldn't say the West Yorkshire side are natural half and half scarf material with West Ham but they could do with a favour from the home side today.

    How does it feel to be waking up Premier League title winners again, Manchester City fans?

    Nottingham Forest's victory against Arsenal yesterday secured Forest's top-flight status for another season whilst also ensuring Pep Guardiola's side won the league without kicking a ball.

    It makes their game with Chelsea this afternoon one of celebration, but in the race for Europe and the battle to stay in the Premier League there is still plenty of work to be done.

    Leeds know that their fate cannot be decided before the final day but they travel to West Ham this afternoon knowing a win would go a long way to boosting their survival chances.
