Burnley 1-4 Newcastle, Sheffield United 1-3 Nottm Forest: Premier League clockwatch – live
Greetings all, and welcome to the afternoon leg of a breathless sporting Saturday. While we digest the hows, whys and do-you-mind-if-I-don’ts of the Championship finale, we’ve got a couple of significant Premier League matches to now home in on. Luton’s failure to beat Everton last night has encouraged Nottingham Forest, whose fate is consequently in their own hands and they’ll expect to put daylight between themselves and the drop zone with a win at doomed Sheffield United. Burnley still fancy their survival chances too, after promising recent displays, and host a Newcastle side with eyes on a Europa League slot. Elsewhere, local bantz but not much else is at stake when Brentford host Fulham.
Further afield, Real Madrid can clinch the Spanish title today if they beat Cádiz at home in a 3.15pm BST kick-off and Barcelona fail to win at Girona in their game at 5.30pm. In the Bundesliga, dethroned Bayern Munich can at least make sure of the runners-up slot if they win at third-placed Stuttgart, while Dortmund will be looking to follow their dynamic display against PSG with a win over Augsburg as they look to close the gap on fourth place.
There’s also signifcant action in Scotland, with the leaders, Celtic, hosting third-placed Hearts looking to stretch their three-point advantage over Rangers (who play Kilmarnock tomorrow) while the battle for survival hots up with second-bottom Ross County hosting Hibs and third-bottom St Johnstone at Aberdeen, Oh, and there’s the National League North playoff final between Brackley and Boston to stay across. Go nowhere!
