Chelsea v Liverpool: Premier League match preview

Champions League finalists Liverpool turn their attentions to domestic matters this afternoon as they travel to Chelsea in an attempt to secure their place in Europe’s top competition for another season.

This is a nice touch, fans visiting the Arsenal club shop can write a memory in a book for Arsene Wenger. I presume he'll be presented with this, as long as nobody writes #WengerOut

Sean Dyche offers his 'massive respect'

Burnley manager Sean Dyche says his players will be focused and will have no place for sentiment once the game starts.

"We've made the players aware there'll be a lot going on and rightly so," he said.

"Massive respect to Arsene Wenger, but when the whistle blows it's all out the window. It's a real game of football. We want as many points as possible."
