There are just two matches on todayโ€™s Premier League agenda, with Arsenalโ€™s Emirates encounter against West Brom getting us underway in a short while. Evertonโ€™s home defeat to City yesterday evening means the Gunners have now secured Champions League qualification for another season – whilst Mesut Ozil owners will be desperate for a good showing after many big-hitters failed to deliver in Saturdayโ€™s seven fixtures, Aaron Ramsey owners are left ruing their luck after the midfielder was ruled with a minor thigh injury. :

A win for the Baggies would ensure Pepe Melโ€™s side are safe for another year, though even if they suffer defeat, the midlands outfit may be safe by the end of today, depending on the result from Chelseaโ€™s match with Norwich later this afternoon.

Even if the Canaries somehow salvage an unexpected draw today, Villa and Hullโ€™s safety is guaranteed, whilst their vastly inferior goal difference would also mean West Brom are also secure, barring a mathematical miracle next weekend.

Jose Mourinhoโ€™s men have other ideas, though, as they look to bounce back from their midweek Champions League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid. The Blues are on the hunt for a seventh home clean sheet in eight attempts, whilst Eden Hazard owners will be desperate for the Belgian to deliver in Chelseaโ€™s final home match of the season.

Our Twitter feed carries all the news from todayโ€™s team sheets, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open to collect your real-time reactions to todayโ€™s events.

        would think the cleansheets in other games would more than outweigh doubling up in those few away games against the top sides. their possession game just doesnt give lesser opponents a chance at all at home.
