Good morning football fans!

Tonight, Chelsea face Arsenal as Arsenal look to battle back into top four contention while Chelsea will aim to complete the league double over their London rivals. Any other stats, figures or quirky bits of information we'll share as we find it.

Mikel Arteta referred to Arsenal's London rivals as the 'best in Europe'. The Gunners travel to Stamford Bridge tonight and say they will need to be at their best to win the three points.
Mikel Arteta on facing Chelsea.
The last few years have been among the bleakest in the Latics’ 90-year history, but amidst all the adversity they faced they have found a way to overcome it and are now on the cusp of returning to the Championship, two years after they went down with their future uncertain.
Oliver Skipp has signed a new deal with Tottenham, keeping him at the club until 2027.
Fulham are back in the Premier League as too is manager Marco Silva.
This comes after comments made by Iceland's captain about her team playing two matches in the summer at Manchester City's Academy Stadium.
He's interested in just about every club at the minute.

Another step from UEFA that forgets the fans in priority of appeasing corporate clients and sponsors. Disgraceful.
Alan Shearer's are below!
Class stuff from this from the Shrewsbury admin.
He currently plays for J1 League club Vissel Kobe.

Grateful to football for these professional and personal experiences!
That's right! Rangers are chasing Brazilian attacker Antony from FC Arouca. Not the one from Ajax.
The 20-year-old has been plying his trade in Portugal, finding the net twice in 17 appearances this season, mainly playing as a second striker and on the right wing.
Reliable shirt-leakers Footy Headlines have leaked next season's jersey for Chelsea, sporting a unique white and sky blue lion collar pattern. The rest of the shirt is based on the default Nike template for next season, leaving quite a simple shirt in the end.
Man Utd's two leading scouts Jim Lawlor and Marcel Bout have both left the club, The Athletic can confirm. Jim Lawlor was the Chief Scout for 16 years, and Bout had joined eight years ago under Louis Van Gaal as Head of Global Scouting. Both have been criticised after Man Utd's scouting strategy appeared to fail them in recent years.
He's the first manager to not hold back in their opinions of the club and just how bad of a situation they are in.
Paul Scholes weighed in on the Man Utd situation, believing that Erik ten Hag has his work for him in the summer when he will reportedly join the Red Devils.
The mid-1980s were halcyon days for Oxford United; a glorious period which was encapsulated by a sun-soaked Sunday afternoon at Wembley on April 20th 1986 as the club won their first, and to date only, major trophy at Wembley.
It was a performance of the highest standard. As the Liverpool fans rose to applaud the masterclass they had just seen, a 4-0 win that took them top of the league, it felt like they were appreciating a work of art rather than a hard-earned three points.
