Chelsea lost at Liverpool on Wednesday and they are yet to confirm their place in the Champions League next season. They begin this final game against sixth placed Wolves in fourth, behind Manchester United on goal difference and a point ahead of Leicester in fifth. A win for United at Leicester will see Chelsea finish in the top four regardless of how this game goes.
Why? Because it gives us purpose, a sense of belonging, a sense of meaning - it makes us feel alive. We live for the shared experiences, from the pre-match pint and the walk to the ground, to the chaos of celebrating a goal, hugging a stranger and falling over your seat. Sport inspires as much pain as it does joy, perhaps more, but it always stirs emotions. It brings structure to our lives, the sporting calendar anchors us, and at the same time it can also offer us an escape.

Alexander Kekule, a biochemist from Martin Luther University in Halle, estimates that the DFL would need up to 20,000 detection tests and exceptional organisational measures. He said: "Players have to be shielded under specific safety rules to prevent infections, because they are not able to avoid contact on the pitch.
Everything points to Saturday's game between Watford and Crystal Palace being a similarly low scoring contest, and with that considered, we feel that backing under 2.5 goals to be scored is a smart move based on the available evidence.
Paper Round's view: It's unsurprising to see Pellegrini linked with the sack again. West Ham are on a torrid run of form at the moment and the next two matches don't look too promising for the Hammers. Moyes might have to be the answer for West Ham if they want to replace Pellegrini. He had a fairly successful short stint previously at the London Stadium, but, most importantly, he presents himself as a far cheaper option than any other managers mentioned.

Rangers fan Andrew Dickson, Motherwell, LanarkshireI don't believe 10 in a row means the same as it would have done if Rangers had been in the league throughout Celtic's current run. It can't be ignored that Rangers were not in the top flight for four years and last season was 'called' prematurely and controversially. This achievement pales in comparison to the previous Rangers and Celtic nine-in-a-row wins.
