Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare, Jay Harris and Jacob Tanswell take in another marquee achievement from Villa under Emery and ponder the power the Premier League now has. Last year’s winners Spurs are 90 minutes from salvation or relegation. They need to avoid defeat to Everton and hope that West Ham don’t beat Leeds. Which 60,000 seater stadium will be in the Championship next season? There’s a heck of a race for Europe which could see Bournemouth or Brighton qualify for the Champions League. The Championship play-off final takes place at Wembley on Saturday between Hull City and Southampton substitute Middlesbrough. Elsewhere, will Slot select Salah? And what lengths will Bruno Fernandes go to for the Premier League assist record?
