watford have won their last two matches, while west ham go into the game having picked up seven points from their last 12. we have our noses are slightly in front. we have to stay in front and do everything to be in that position. we hoped it would get there. i would rather be in our position than a couple of other teams' position, that's for sure, but we have not done the job. far from it. the players are aware of that and we have to at least win another game. they're doing what we're doing, fighting for their lives, that's what i would expect. they've got good players, they've found some decent form of late and i'm sure david will be expecting a tough game in the same way that we're expecting a tough game. they were crowned spanish champions for the fourth time this week. a remarkable return to action with the tenth consecutive win after billy villareal last night. an impressive turnaround for the french men's in the second charge at the club. riel madrid are synonymous with winning the champions league. leading to three in a row. delivering their first la liga title for three years

pearson joined in december when watford were bottom of the table. he's since guided them out of the relegation zone and although they can still go down, his dismissal was a bit of a surprise. watford are the first premier league team to sack three managers in the same season. the premier league's all—time top scorer alan shearer says it's time for manchester united to drop their goalkeeper david de gea. he made a couple of huge mistakes as united lost 3—1 to chelsea in their fa cup semifinal at wembley. chelsea's second goal, a particularly d iffcult watch for de gea. his manager ole gunner solskjaer maintains that de gea is still one of the best keepers in the world. chelsea will play arsenal in the fa cup final a week on saturday. and borussia dortmund have confirmed the signing ofjude bellingham from birmingham city. the teenagerjoins the german side for a fee that could eventually be worth more than £30 million. at 17, bellingham is birmingham's youngest ever player and follows in the footsteps of fellow englishman jadon sancho, who joined

having sacked three managers this season, watford were 3—0 down against arsenal before losing 3—2, a ruthless route to relegation this season. bournemouth are the contrast. club and manager entwined, but their win over everton was too late. collectively, over the piece, over the season, we haven't been good enough. the league table, it is a cliche, it does not lie, it tells a cliche, it does not lie, it tells a story. we have dipped below the levels we were at in previous seasons. there is no denying that. final day survival can unite a club like little else. villa employ players from over a dozen different nations. they all seem to know the words to one neil diamond song. joe wilson, bbc news. the final two champions league places were also decided today, again you might want to do something else for a few seconds. manchester united will be in europe's elite next season after beating leicester 2—nil, the foxes missing out on the top four. chelsea beat wolves to make sure that they also qualified. england's cricketers are in complete control of the third test at old trafford with o

so, should they be level on points, watford would be relegated. they have just one more chance to save themselves. it's come down to two tough games, man city today, and then we've got arsenal next week. but, you know, it's about us now recouperating, getting ready, sticking together, as a club, as a unit, as a squad, and getting ready for the next game. and so, villa's test of unity would come against arsenal, a side who had just beaten city and liverpool. but the home team's moment came in a first—half flash. and trezeguet! a strike from the egyptian even the manager could release for. dean smith's a boyhood villa fan, and his dad, ron, was a steward here. he passed away in the pandemic. pressure on the pitch has come with grief off it. it was a big performance, but an even bigger result. it was one that we needed, we knew we needed. i thought we worked extremely hard today. there was a lot of character, a lot of courage from the players, and now we have to go and recover and get ready for, you know, our cup final now. villa's final game is aw

only one of bournemouth, watford or aston villa can stay up. bournemouth are three points from safety, while villa go into their game against west ham with the upper hand — but onlyjust. they're outside the bottom three on goal difference from watford. it promises to be a nervy afternoon for the managers involved. it means that we can control our own destiny, you know, and that is what we wanted to have going into the last game. it was looking unlikely. it was looking like we would have to rely on others. but results went our way in the week and we end up above the dotted line at the moment, but the most important thing is to be above that dotted line after the match on sunday. we know we have to win the football game to guarantee that. so we will be going all out to win as we have done. we can only prepare for what we can prepare for, and that is to get ourselves right, in the right frame of mind to try and get a result on sunday. we can't really think about different permutations or try and set up for that. we have got to try and get ready

the former watford manager nigel pearson has responded to his sacking by the club. he has just posted on social media to say he's overwhelmed by the support he has received since being dismissed yesterday. pearson joined in december when watford were bottom of the table — he's since guided them out of the relegation zone, and although they still can go down, his dismissal was a bit of a shock. watford are the first premier league team to sack three managers in the same season. let's stay at the bottom of the table because bournemouth now need a miracle to stay in the premier league. they lost 2—0 at southampton yesterday. that leaves them three points off safety, but they've only got one game left to play. so they not only need to win that, but they need other results to go their way. elsewhere in the premier league, leicester city stumbled, once again, as they try to qualify for the champions league. they were beaten 3—0 by tottenham, and that opens the door for them to be overtaken by manchester united who have a game in hand. lewis hamilton has criticised f

they're third from bottom, a point behind watford, but dean smith's side do have a game in hand. things will be far from simple later, though — they're at anfield to face champions liverpool at 1630. the players are ok. we feel that we have been in every game and three of those games were against the top eight. we should have beaten sheffield united and newcastle and i know we haven't but it has been two points on the board for us. the lads are working extremely hard. they feel they are in a better place than obviously when the brake first started. sometimes you just need a bit of quality and a bit of luck. some big games involving sides near the bottom of the championship as well today. third from bottom middlesbrough host queens park rangers, while hull city — who are just a point ahead of boro — travel to second place west bromwich albion. 0ne match is already underway. swansea are hosting sheffield wednesday. now, finally, not sure if this really qualifies as sport, but it's certainly a competition. yesterday was independence day in the united states, and they celebrate

if watford get at least a point against manchester city then bournemouth will go down. that means aston villa will need to match what purpose might result otherwise they will be in the championship next season, too. i think there has been pressure on us since we came back from project restart. i mean, ten games in we were in the bottom three and everybody had us relegated since march! 0urjob is to go and prove people wrong. i said before, these players have played under pressure and they seem to thrive on it. the new scottish football season sta rts the new scottish football season starts next saturday, but last season's scottish cup final will go ahead on the 20th of december this year. the match in hamilton was scheduled for may but postponed due to top divisions, which were abandoned, this term it wasn't, meaning to sammy's between hearts and hearts and hibs and celtic and aberdeen will take place on the 31st of october and the 1st of november, with the final five days before christmas. next year's rugby league world cup will begin at newcastle's st james‘ park, wi
