FRIDAY: LEEDS V BURNLEY Leeds will be good as safe if they win this game even though they probably were already. Their FA Cup exit last weekend gives them the chance to put their sole focus on securing their Premier League status for another season and also to end the season as strong as they can.

They showed that in the knockout rounds by hammering Chelsea in both legs in the last 16 before comfortably easing the

FRIDAY: SUNDERLAND V NOTTINGHAM FOREST Sunderland gave Villa a good game last weekend and could've won it had Diarra squared it for Talbi to tap home. The Black Cats still have a chance of reaching Europe as they're only four behind behind 6th placed Brighton and a win for them here will move them up to seventh because of Chelsea and not Bournemouth not playing.
