Key events
Preamble
Hello and welcome to matchday live, our Ronseal-inspired weekend blog. For the next few hours we’ll have all the build-up to a big day of action in England, Spain, Italy and beyond.
There are five Premier League matches, including Newcastle v Chelsea and Liverpool v Arsenal, as well as a clásico that could decide who wins La Liga. And the top two in Italy, Napoli and Internazionale, play this evening. Nicky Bandini will join us later to discuss the Serie A title race.
We’ll also reflect on yesterday’s action, including Chelsea completing an unbeaten WSL season and Manchester City failing to score at the Premier League’s bottom club Southampton. And we’ll hear from Simon Burnton, who is at Wembley for Non-League Finals Day. Whitstable, my local team if you’re into that sort of thing, meet AFC Whyteleafe in the FA Vase final at 12.15pm; Aldershot and Spennymoor contest the FA Trophy final at 4.15pm.
These are some of today’s key matches.
