and luton town are on the brink of relegation too after an emotional day in the premier league.

because their team is not in that position so there will be many good performances lower down, even luton townut issac getting better and better, rodrick would be one where you would say, why do we keep mentioning that when i carry on with these nominees, but declan rice has been incredible. and you saw what moye said about his team, they have had a wonderful relation come, you know where i'm going with this, right? declan rice probably the stand out performer, for me just of what he's changed, but it's still foden. was he was brought is flair, he brought goals, brought assists, playing a different positions as well, by the way. notjust played from the right, play central, play off the left, different performances, different positions. so i got to say some are missing but phil foden is obviously leading the way. let's look at nominees for young player of the season. michael, who gets your vote? you seen that crossover which is really exciting about those young players in both categories. but you know, the stand up for me has got to be cole palmer. i think the returning goals and the chelsea si

luton town can give their hopes of avoiding relegation from the english premier league a big boost tonightey take on everton. they'll move out of the drop zone with victory. everton have already secured premier league safety. the visitors did illegal up, dominic calvert—lewin scored from the penalty spot after a penalty, but i can't tell you that just in the last minute, luton have equalised throughout ican i can tell you luton have equalised through adebayo. elsewhere, liverpool manager jurgen klopp has hit out at the premier league and its broadcasters, describing fixture scheduling as "absolutely insane". since klopp took charge in 2015, liverpool have featured in more early kick—offs than any other premier league club. but klopp also suggested that lunch—time kick—off times don'tjust affect his team, but are also partly to blame for english teams' struggles in europe this season. i watch a lot of football, all over the world, and the premier league is the world, and the premier league is the best leak in the world. so it's not overrated, the players are overworked. it is that. you can

forest against chelsea in the late kick off will be enough to send burnley down and all but relegate luton townad, but right now i don't think we have to play out any scenarios. the only thing i know is we will keep going, that i guarantee you. no matter what, you just keep going and rewards don't get distributed in life because you've done something exceptional in that one given season, it is because you have prepared yourself for a long time to have that one moment. we'll concentrate on ourselves and yeah, obviously we will need help, but we all know how difficult it is to win in the premier league and we have got to try and do that and see, yeah, forest, burnley, have got difficult games as well, but they are all tough, but without us doing our job it doesn't matter what anyone else does. in scotland — celtic look on course to retain their premiership title — leading are rangers. matt 0'rielly fired them ahead, beforejohn lundstrum scored an own goal and was then sent off to compound a difficult after for phillipe clement's side at celtic park. the result would put celtic 6 points clear with

chelsea all but assures their safety, which would be bad news for both burnley, who face spurs and luton townh, obviously we will need help, but we all know how difficult it is to win in the premier league and we have got to try and do that and obviously, yeah, forest, burnley, have got difficult games as well, but they are all tough, but without us doing our job it doesn't matter what anyone else does. we'll have plenty of time to talk about what the season has been for us, good or bad, but right now i don't think we have to play out any scenarios. the only thing i know is we will keep going, that i guarantee you. no matter what, you just keep going and rewards don't get distributed in life because you've done something exceptional in that one given season, it is because you have prepared yourself for a long time to have that one moment. here's a full list of the games in the english top flight then. newcastle are still chasing european qualifcation for next season. they host brighton. a couple of mid table clashes too involving bournemouth and brentford, and wolves and crystal palace before

as for rob edwards and luton town, they need forest to slip up and to get something themselves at westate on ourselves and obviously we will need help, but we all know how difficult it is to win in the premier league and we have got to try and do that and see forest, burnley, got difficult games as well, but they are all tough, but without as doing ourjob it doesn't matter what anyone else does. for burnley and manager vincent kompany, the maths is simple — they have to win their final two games if they're to have any chance of staying in the premier league, starting at tottenham later. we will have plenty of time to talk about what the season has been for us, good or bad, but right now i don't think we have to play out any scenarios. the only thing i know is we will keep going, that i guarantee you, no matter what. you just keep going and rewards don't get distributed in life because you've done something exceptional in that one given season, it is because you have prepared yourself for a long time to have that one moment. this could be the day celtic effectively win the title in the

for luton town and burnley, this was the day hope finally ran out. is about to end. whether they liked it or not, luton walked into a leaving do — the last home game for west ham's manager david moyes. but in their first premier league season, luton have shown that they are no respectors of occasion or reputation. albert sambi lokonga gave them something to cling to. that grip was flimsy, though, vulnerable to west ham's increasing pressure. james ward—prowse fired them level. moyes' boys now got around to sorting the boss a parting gift. tomas soucek picked out something special. commentator: what a strike from tomas soucek! _ it finished 3—1. mathematically, luton�*s relegation is not confirmed, but emotionally, they know. it's difficult. it is the end of the world right now. we know it is not. you know, the sun come up again tomorrow and we have to then pick ourselves up. burnley were probably already chasing a lost cause but never stopped running. part of what gotjacob bruun larsen the opening goal against tottenham. but burnley needed victory an

i mean, i mean, if you look at luton town, for example, they'll go down.potential going forward. they've been talking about building a stadium since the 1980s, and this is game changing for them, even though they've gone down after one season. but today, four decent clubs involved and we've got norwich versus leeds, norwich the first out of the blocks at carrow road, 12:00 and that's third against six. now the diff, the points differential between leeds and norwich. this is why leeds and norwich. this is why leeds will may well feel defeated, deflated even though, even though daniel farke, the former norwich manager, has said this is a new season now, forget what's gone. that's easier said than done. when you finish 17 points ahead of the team that you're playing, the team that you're playing, the team that you're playing, the team that you're playing goes into it thinking we've got nothing to lose. but if i look at the actual form, i mean, southampton and west brom at the hawthorns is the game. later on after that. 215 so it's really going to be a feast o

and he's going to have a big impact at the bottom of the table because they're playing luton town, whos going to be more of a celebration at west ham, i think. look, there's been lots of conjecture, lots of consternation and lots of rancour actually, in the last couple of months about david moyes , whether he's going to moyes, whether he's going to stay at west ham, he delivered two european finishes, he delivered a european trophy . of delivered a european trophy. of course, he rescued them from relegation not once back in 2017, but also when he came back to the club in 2020, achieved it again after the manuel pellegrini era and all the money that was spent back then. so david moyes has every right to expect the most warm of send offs. yeah, at the at the london stadium. you think he'll get it? oh, without doubt, without doubt. because look, even, even those west ham fans who would rather see a change, they'd rather see a change, they'd rather see a new broom. they'd rather see a new broom. they'd rather see a new broom. they'd rather see somebody come in and play rather see somebody

the scenes, the people doing the slide rules before it gets to the ref, he said one of them was a luton townhing in that, or is that just sour grapes or the people making the decisions themselves, not without their own biases? >> no. listen, we cannot ever question the integrity of a match official. >> absolutely not. it's the competence of the officials that are operating that system. and the ifab protocol has been in since it first come in, in into fruition . now that that needs an fruition. now that that needs an absolute overhaul. and i've seen recently that the pgmol said we're getting 96, 6% of our var decisions, correct? i mean, that's absolutely nonsense. it's like like, you know, if i marked it and you mark the paper, it that wouldn't be that wouldn't be the case. yes, it could be on all the offsides. but let's have all the offsides. but let's have a look at all that. you know, what's the percentage on the key match incidents, the decisions that they're getting wrong. you know, people miss the uefa , use know, people miss the uefa, use it in their competitions. >> our clubs are in i

it's apparently worth, according to luton town last season anyway. on target in both games and it all goes back now to thursday and friday. you have to favour the away teams now. >> okay, rory mcilroy, he had the shots in the bag. he won the wells fargo championship by six strokes. i think he did indeed. >> yeah, he was outstanding, actually. look, that's a second. always a back to back, pga title for him. it's ominous for his opponents at valhalla, but he's got to beat this psychological barrier. he's not won a major in ten years. his four majors. he's won ten years. now, for someone between the age of 25 and 35, that's the peak years . eamonn that's the peak years. eamonn really when it comes to golf. and i would say as an individual sport , the golf is probably more sport, the golf is probably more psychological than any other sport around there, including boxing. i would even argue. can he handle the sunday evening battle against his opponents? i'm not sure that he can. at the moment, because i think it's a big, big stage for him to get past. how

as for rob edwards and luton town — they need forest to slip up later — and to get something themselvesarted his italian open campaign with a straight—sets win over corentin moutet but his celebrations were cut short after he was hit on the head by a bottle. this is what happened. he was signing autographs they are, the object hits him on the head, he fell to the ground, and the organisers say the hard bottle had fallen out of the bag of someone in the crowd. they said the incident is not being treated as a deliberate act. you will see his reaction to people coming to his aid there and the crowd above. he was taken to the medical centre, we've been told, after that, to be checked out. with the olympics just around the corner, some promising performances from two british athletes at the latest event in the diamond league. molly caudery beat the world champion nina kennedy to win the pole vault event whilst daryll neita took gold in the women's 100 metres — but onlyjust — beating america's tamari davis byjust one—hundredth of a second. the olympics gets underway injust over two months — o
