The Game

Arsenal are finding form at the right time. Four points clear in the title race and through to the Champions League final the double is still on. What has brought about the turn around in form and who have been the key players? PSG are on the verge of defending their European title, which for some would mark them out as one of the modern day great european teams...so, how good are they and can Arsenal beat them? Does Man City's slip at Everton show that many of the team have not won multiple titles are are feeling the nerves?Chelsea lost for the fifth time in a row where does the responsibility lie?

Ipswich did it on the last day...but with that squad were they always going to?Wrexham missed out to Hull City. That is Hull who stayed up on the final day of last season and faced a transfer embargo in the summer - quite an achievement.So, who makes it through the play-off's - is the smart money on the winner of Middlesbrough Southampton?In League One Stevenage defy the odds, Challinor does it again and Leyton Orient's Richie Wellens goes in two footed on his players.Lastly, in League Two final day heartbreak again for Salford and a step too far for Harrogate. 

Have Spurs turned a corner with De Zerbi? Two wins and a draw in his first three games, took them out of the relegation zone after West Ham lost heavily at Brentford. Was Aston Villa's performance cause for concern ahead of their semi final second leg against Forest. Unai Emery's team have lost three on the spin and look out of form. If the award doesn't go to Arteta or Pepe who else could be in line for manager of the season?And for player of the season could the Man City and Arsenal votes being split lead to one clear candidate from the third placed team - Bruno Fernandez.Arsenal have put the pressure back on Man City with two wins, and they have a striker with twenty goals for the first time in years. Does that make Gyokores a success? Alyson Rudd, Gregor Robertson and Hamzah Khalique-Loonat join Tom Clarke. 

PSG v Bayern served up nine goals, but it was so much more than just goals. There were hardly any defensive errors and few shots outside of the goals actually scored. Was it really one of the greatest ever games and if so, why?Were Arsenal unlucky to leave Madrid with only a draw? Regardless of who wins the second leg how will they go about stopping PSG or Bayern. If you had a combined team from the four semi finalists, how many Arsenal players make it in?After the break is it time Michale Carrick was givne the Man Utd job and which midfielders will they be targeting in the summer?Last, a look ahead to the relegation battle and reaction to Scott Parker leaving Burnley.Tom Clarke is joined by Tony Cascarino, Gregor Robertson and Hamzah Khalique-Loonat

Join tom Clarke and Gregor Robertson to preview the final regular weekend of a fantastic EFL season.What a weekend we have in store, there are so many permutations and so much riding on some many games.Who is heading for the Premier League - Ipswich, Millwall or Southampton?Will Wrexham keep the fairy tale alive at the expense of Hull and Derby?In League One can Luton and Plymouth gate crash the play offs on the final day? At the bottom Exeter have it all to do and Leyton Orient are hanging on.And in League Two the tightest battle of all one of Crawly, Harrogate, Newport and Tranmere are leaving the football league...as Gregor Robertson says; "...on the final day sometimes as a player you're just s******g yourself."

It is relegation central as we look at the fixtures and decide who stays and who drops?Spurs finally win but with two big injuries and other teams winning will it be enough? West Ham look 'happy in their own skin' but their fixtures are the tougher ones. Perhaps hardest of all are Leeds fixtures, could they still be dragged back into the fight? The FA Cup saw Chelsea show more fight after the sacking of Liam Rosenior, is that ever acceptable, or is it just a sign of the chaos at the club?Arsenal are back on top, will that level of performance take them all the way to the title?Plus an exclusive interview with Roy Hodgson - the grand old man of football still gaining results and admirers at the age of seventy nine.Tom Clarke is joined by Alyson Rudd, Tom allnutt and gregor Robertson.

They're top only on goals scored...could we be heading for a play off?While Chelsea are in turmoil Newcastle quietly have their own problems - they're 14th in the table, european football is looking unlikely and there is talk of selling more of their star players. Who could be leaving and where does that leave manager Eddie Howe?Tom clarke is joined by Newcastle reporter Martin Hardy, Gregor Robertson and Martin Samuel.
